In his research Martin Kowalczyk empirically investigates the challenges of designing and
establishing successful decision support with Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A). The
results from his work elucidate organizational and individual perspectives of BI&A support in
decision processes. The organizational perspective considers the processual aspects of decision
making and addresses process phases roles and their interactions. The individual perspective
reflects upon decision making of human individuals including their cognition and behaviors
involved in decision making. The support of managerial decision making with BI&A gains
increasing priority for many businesses in their desire to achieve better decision outcomes and
improved organizational performance.
