TL;DR: Three types of approaches for tackling the respective challenges are distinguished and the approaches are mapped to a three layer BI framework and discussed regarding challenges and business potential.
Abstract: In the course of the evolution of management support towards corporate wide Business Intelligence infrastructures, the integration of components for handling unstructured data comes into focus. In this paper, three types of approaches for tackling the respective challenges are distinguished. The approaches are mapped to a three layer BI framework and discussed regarding challenges and business potential. The application of the framework is exemplified for the domains of Competitive Intelligence and Customer Relationship Management.

TL;DR: This contribution combines results from the outsourcing and the BI literature and derives a framework for delineating “Cloud BI” approaches, and considers six possible scenarios – some of which within immediate reach today.
Abstract: Business Intelligence (BI) deals with integrated approaches to management support. In many cases, the integrated infrastructures that are subject to BI have become complex, costly, and inflexible. A possible remedy for these issues might arise on the horizon with “Cloud Computing” concepts that promise new options for a net based sourcing of hardand software. Currently, there is still a dearth of concepts for defining, designing, and structuring a possible adaption of Cloud Computing to the domain of BI. This contribution combines results from the outsourcing and the BI literature and derives a framework for delineating “Cloud BI” approaches. This is the bases for the discussion of six possible scenarios – some of which within immediate reach today.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the role of Business Intelligence components should not be underestimated when preparing a business case for RFID.
Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification" (RFID) and the related EPC standards promise to enable an automatic collection of supply chain data for optimization purposes. While extensive research has been done on applications for operational supply chain optimization, there is still a lack of insight into the requirements and benefits of further processing the data within integrated management support infrastructures (Business Intelligence infrastructures) that allow for sharing, integrating, and analyzing RFID data. This paper discusses respective scenarios which were elicited from a transcontinental retail supply chain case. It addresses data collection and integration on the one hand and the relevance of the enabled analyses on the other. The results indicate that the role of Business Intelligence components should not be underestimated when preparing a business case for RFID.

TL;DR: A framework that combines the benefit evaluation steps of identification, forecasting and assessment is introduced and six types of RFID benefits are derived that support the systematic identification of benefits, as well as the selection of forecast and assessment methods.
Abstract: As with all information technologies, there is a necessity to determine the profitability of investments in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) ex ante. A particularly important aspect is the cha...

TL;DR: "Wellsprings of Knowledge: Building and Sustaining the Sources of Innovation," is not a quick read, though the author tries hard to soften a knot of strategy research with true-life examples from several technology companies.
Abstract: Dorothy Leonard-Barton warns readers upfront that her new book, "Wellsprings of Knowledge: Building and Sustaining the Sources of Innovation," is not a quick read. Indeed it is not, though the author, a Harvard Business School professor, tries hard to soften a knot of strategy research with true-life examples from several technology companies. Unfortunately, business books tend to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger movies: the special effects and twists are a lot more important than the basic plot, which doesn't change much.
