Exploring the Benefits, Challenges, and Opportunities of Collaborative Business Intelligence

Abstract

In traditional business intelligence (BI) settings, the collective decision-making process is often hindered by the absence of knowledge and expertise exchange among various stakeholders, as well as lack of information sharing. The study delves into the concept of Collaborative BI, which aims to overcome these limitations by promoting collaboration, business networking, knowledge sharing, and improved communication among stakeholders. Based on a systematic literature review, the study explores the notion of Collaborative BI, formulates its definition, and reports on its challenges, benefits, and limitations. It also provides an insightful overview of Collaborative BI landscape and multiple advantages it can deliver to modern business organizations. The study also acknowledges potential threats to the validity of its findings due to the limited scope of the literature review. Finally, the study highlights the need for further research to address the limitations and expand our understanding of the CBI field.
