   • 2.1 Conceptual Approach to Business Intelligence
     • BI is influenced by a technological, an organizational, and an environmental context
     • The environmental context includes size and structure of the industry, the firm’s competitors, the macroeconomic context, and the regulatory environment
     • Characteristics of Business Environment The business dimension is described by the usage of components along management processes, levels, and roles
     • Characteristics of Technology
     • Characteristics of Organization The organization dimension consists of business processes, which have to be supported, and processes concerning designing, operating, and changing BI systems
   • 2.2 Literature Review

3. Comentario: me parece interesante que siempre nos dicen que los alemanes y su organización y se habla de los avanzados que están y en este capítulo desde el inicio nos plantean la cantidad de compañías alemanas que no implementan la inteligancia de negocios.

4. 3. Framework to Structure Patterns in BI Projects

   • Technology All projects have in common that they are addressing all BI systems layers
   • Organization The projects differ in their organizational background. Some have their focus on department oriented solutions; others try to cover enterprise wide activities
   • Business Environment All the project descriptions match in their respective project need definition. Market or environmental factors like competition are named in all competition contributions as underlying background

5. Conclusions

   • With the growing number of isolated BI projects in companies there is a lack of support in organizing these activities.
