This study tests how big data capability impact on business intelligence infrastructure to achieve firm performance measures such as operational performance and marketing performance. This study is based on the recent literature on the knowledge-based view, big data capability, IT capability, and business intelligence. The primary survey of 272 responses from Chinese firms’ IT managers and big data analysts are used to uncover the relationship in the proposed model. The finding shows that the big data analytics capability significantly impacts on business intelligence infrastructure that in turn positively impact on operational performance and marketing performance. Further, the business intelligence infrastructure partially mediates between big data analytics capability and operational performance, and fully mediates between big data analytics capability and marketing performance. This research contributes to the information systems literature such as big data analytic capability, business intelligence, and firm performance measures, and thus offers grounds to extend more widespread studies in this field. This study adds to the literature on the theory and practical bases for big data capability and business intelligence infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"183 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42411262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pandemic, hot on the heels of Brexit, detracted from the initial changes, and in some cases the challenges, that leaving the European Union presented for many organisations. However, whilst both the challenges and opportunities of Brexit will become ever clearer over the coming months, there is the pandemic, which required immediate innovation as both large and small organisations, across all sectors, sought to adapt, pivot and hopefully survive this most difficult of times. We have seen fascinating, previously unseen, levels of technology adoption, a variety of platforms and tools, many which have been available to us for some time, suddenly became our lifeline, yet in a pre-pandemic world, many of these sat unused within organisations. The simple task of including someone external to the physical room via a telephone line was often fraught with complexity, but now we have seen organisations adopting technologies almost overnight and deploying new tech within days which was previously scheduled as part of lengthy change programmes. We have seen people showing huge resilience and adaptability as the requirement to adopt new technology and accept new ways of working impacted everyone. The pandemic made virtual meetings commonplace, and the innovation we saw was in cultural adaption and adoption, and the speed of change, rather than the immediate design or coding of new technologies. The technology already existed and, in many cases, had been available to adopt within organisations for some time. Now, midway through 2021, as we move hopefully and cautiously towards the easing of the restrictions that the pandemic has placed on our lives, a hybrid and blended working model is emerging. Not just between work and home, but also between hybrid meetings, being held “in real life” and concurrently in a virtual space, where multiple participants are present via whichever format works best for them. Organisations are seeing the benefits both in terms of reduced operating costs from travel and an increase in the ease of access to their people. This shift in working is astonishing if we reflect to prepandemic times, when genuine inclusion of anyone not “in the room” was often too difficult and culturally, simply opting to participate virtually was frequently not an option. Flying around the world for meetings was commonplace. So, what does all of this mean for organisations as they continue to pivot and adapt, how does innovation work in this new world, what does this paradigm shift mean, not just in terms of where we work, but how we work and how we form and develop engagement with the places we work. What does this mean for productivity? As we seek to reimagine our organisations, we have some immediate areas to focus on. However, as the new paradigm settles, we can expect to see familiar questions resurfacing, such as access to knowledge, how","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"144 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43408093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the findings and recommendations from this study will help financial services and other organisations to be cognisant of the importance of BYOD policy formulation. The use of BYOD has become prevalent in the workplace due to the increased dependence on the Internet and advancements in technologies. It is beneficial to the organisation in that employees buy, use and insure their own devices, thus, the organisation does not bear these costs. However, there is a huge cost to the company if the use and connection of BYODs to the company’s Information Technology infrastructure is not regulated and monitored. BYODs expose information and information systems assets to threat actors. Financial institutions handle very sensitive information, making them a target for data breach and the adoption of BYODs more hazardous. A qualitative research method was conducted with eight (8) purposefully selected participants working in the Risk, IT and Information Systems Security departments of the financial institution. Telephonic interviews were conducted in line with the national protocols of the global Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The study revealed the absence of a BYOD policy and employees could use any number of personal devices without restrictions. Users were aware of information systems security policies and protocols because of the annual training and awareness programmes.","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"115 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43177362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having inherited organisational structures and processes that are largely not fit for purpose in the digital world, this is a once-in-a-generation challenge for emerging leaders today, and if they are able to succeed then they will not only enjoy greater short-term productivity, but also leave a legacy for the future in the form of organisations that are better adapted and more fit for the digital, networked future of business.

In 2020, a pilot was established to explore how a knowledge specialist role could bring benefits to the specialist business of an Academic Health Science Network in the South West of England. Using the structure of a retrospective learning after technique, this paper explores the rationale for the pilot, considers what was actually achieved despite the COVID-19 pandemic and examines reasons for successes and disappointments. Four key lessons are gathered that can be applied by anyone introducing a new knowledge management or embedded knowledge specialist service. The study concludes by outlining the unique contribution that an embedded knowledge specialist brings to the team to produce a tailored knowledge management service that saves staff time, keeps staff informed and connected while evolving to meet the ever changing priorities of complex healthcare organisations.","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"138 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/02663821211032861","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43866624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these instances, the search task is often complex and time-consuming and requires specialist expert knowledge to formulate accurate search strategies. Interactive features such as query expansion can play a key role in supporting these tasks. However, generating query suggestions within a professional search context requires that consideration be given to the specialist, structured nature of the search strategies they employ. In this paper, we investigate a variety of query expansion methods applied to a collection of Boolean search strategies used in a variety of real-world professional search tasks. The results demonstrate the utility of context-free distributional language models and the value of using linguistic cues to optimise the balance between precision and recall.","PeriodicalId":39735,"journal":{"name":"Business Information Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"127 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/02663821211034079","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44411450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
