One of the most talked about Information Technology (IT) enabled business innovation is the emergence of Business Intelligence (BI). A well implemented BI can bring manifold benefits to an organization. However, the implantation is resource intensive and complex, with success dependent upon various critical success factors.

The demands of the industry may vary in time in India. Indian firms are of opinion that the products have limited amount of customization paradigm, hence greater complexity involved to adopt BI. This paper focuses on two aspects of BI in India: prospects and challenges. It tries to identify the major issues and concerns in successfully implementing BI in India.

It has 741 stores nationally, including 45 BI-LO Supermarkets that also stock Coles private label brands, and more than 100,000 employees. Coles was founded by George James (G.J.) Coles when what was called the "Coles Variety Store" opened on 9 April 1914 in Smith Street in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood. Expansion to more stores occurred and the chain was regarded as leaders in providing value to Australian shoppers (G. J. Coles learned the retail trade working for his father's "Coles Store" business at Wilmot, Tasmania between 1910 and 1913). Coles' interest in food retailing was spurred in 1958 when it acquired 54 John Connell Dickins grocery stores. It then acquired the Beilby's chain in South Australia in 1959 and 265 Matthews Thompson grocery stores in New South Wales in...

...Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for the Coles Group of Australia By Aruna Kulatunga MGG9352 Management Processes and Systems. Semester 1, 2007 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Executive Summary The Coles Group of Australia has allowed its competitive advantage to slip away to rival Woolworth by failing to differentiate its core strategies and by failing to articulate well the strategies that could have been differentiated. In a bid to gain competitive advantage, this report suggests that the Coles Group should look beyond the company boundaries, extending its value chain to suppliers, partners and customers in a seamless manner, employ process like Total Quality Management and Business Process Reengineering in extending the value chain, bedded in a well structured change management programme and look towards globalisation and franchising along with such counter-intuitive, yet innovative, location strategies such as competitive clustering and saturation marketing to regain its competitive advantage. Page 2 23/10/07 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Introduction Strategy gurus Porter (1998, p. 2), Mintzberg (1994), Hamel (1998), Hamel and Prahalad, (1994) Champy and Nohria (1996) and Hammer (quoted in Champy and Nohria, (1996)) agree in principle that in order to meet business needs, specific actions need to be...

...were dismissed at the notion of being able to work at local hospitals in the area. The financing of the BI Hospital derived from the Jewish communities donations. Millions of dollars were donated in order to create an upper class academic medical center that was known not only for the quality of its research and teaching but also for the quality of its care. As time went on capitalism showed its face by driving the local Boston hospital’s to want more market share in their geographic locations. A Dean of Harvard Business School by the name of John McArthur organized a session in which he proposed the Brigham Hospital merge with the Massachusetts General Hospital to create a new organization called Partners Healthcare System. None of the surrounding hospitals in the area were notified when the decision to go ahead with the plan was made. Not only was the merger established because of the growth of market share but the organization would be able to capture a bigger portion of the market and therefore have a greater influence on the insurance companies and the other payers. Negotiating insurance contracts is a very important asset and strategy to the success of the hospital financially. When word broke of the merger other local hospitals felt a need to respond by finding new partners themselves to obtain leverage on the insurance companies as well gain market share. BI started looking for hospital to merge with and found Deaconess to be the...

Las antiguas reglas básicas ya no son aplicables, y las empresas no pueden dar por hecho que las estrategias de BI del pasado continúan siendo viables. Consideremos estos cambios fundamentales: • Las empresas se gestionan de forma diferente. En lugar de confiar en el instinto, las empresas actuales dan más importancia al procesamiento de números y a medir objetivamente el rendimiento. • Los usuarios consumen la información de forma diferente. La mayoría de las personas llevan años utilizando aplicaciones basadas en la Web para interactuar con sus datos personales y gestionarlos. Estas aplicaciones “concebidas para el consumidor” se basan en una experiencia intuitiva y altamente interactiva y en una capacidad de respuesta prácticamente instantánea. • Expectativas más exigentes. Las aplicaciones como MapQuest, Gmail y Facebook y las soluciones más especializadas...

...Living in a technology savvy world Kristian Agnew BIS/220 University of Phoenix February 16, 2013 3% similarity index The world that we live in and the worlds that our grandparents lived in, are more than likely two completely different worlds. There once was a time when people knew who their neighbors were, children played outside for recreation, when a loved one was missed, a letter was written or a telephone call from a landline was made, and books were read the old fashioned way (in paper form). That world seems like it was centuries ago, but it was only a few decades previous. In today’s society, if you haven’t seen a loved one, they are just a skype call or Facebook status away. Almost everyone has an email address. Due to this, a stamp and letter seems more extinct by the day. We live in a world where we have access to books right at our fingertips via our smart phones or tablets and children prefer video games rather than going outside to play with their friends. The advances in information technology have played a key role in shaping the rights we have and much of our day-to-day activities. An example of this would be HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that was established in 1996. Around this time, medical facilities, including hospitals, and private practices, started implementing the use of digital medical records. To limit the amount of personal information being disclosed to anyone other than the patient...

What all an organization needs to be a leader in the market is information. Information can be available in large forms like web resources, text data, graphs and statistics. The more information a firm has the more powerful it is getting on. Firms need to assess the future market condition with the available previous and present data so as to be a leader. The major goal of Business Intelligence is to dwell in all the available information, refine it and organize it in such a way that right information is passed to right people through the right way. Now, data can be in vast amounts, of which some might be useful and some might not be useful.
