Modern managerial decision-making processes require a wealth of information that is enhanced and transformed into knowledge in order to take effective action. Mobility in business is increasingly exercising influence on core business processes of organisations. The shift to wireless technologies coupled with the rapid growth of mobile devices in business has led to a new era in business computing. Mobile Business Intelligence (Mobile BI) is a system that has been conceived to assist, accelerate and to enhance the managerial decision-making processes. This thesis focuses on the e ect of Mobile BI on managerial decision-making. This thesis was able to answer the research question and to meet the research objectives through an extensive study of literature on the two most important spheres of influence i.e Business Intelligence and Managerial decision-making. Moreover, the objectives were met through the implementation of practical empirical research. The latter was carried out through a survey research design using questionnaire method of data collection. This research produced an number of ndings. The results indicated that Mobile BI played an important influencing role in the way managers make decisions. This study found that Mobile BI improved the quality of decisions made by managers used it for decision support subsequently improving performance of the organisation. Overall, four factors were found to be the predictors of Mobile BI for managerial decision making in organisations: Perceived Ease of Use of Mobile BI, Attitudes towards Use of Mobile BI, Perceived Value of Mobile BI with Behavioural Intention to Use of Mobile BI emerging as the most important predictors of Managerial Organisational decision-making.

Allt fler organisationer börjar se nyttan med Business Intelligence och varför det bör implementeras i sin verksamhet. Genom att använda sig av beslutsstödsystem kan organisationer samla ihop och bearbeta affärs-data och på så sätt få ut mer av sin verksamhet. Idag räcker det inte längre att ha tillgång till endast företagsinformationen inom verksamheten utan det behövs också kunna utnyttja realtids datan genom de mobila enheterna, detta genom Mobile Business Intelligence. Det handlar om en mobil variant av den traditionella business Intelligence (BI).  Med tanke på den mobila användningen ökade tillgängligheten samt prestandan i mobila enheter, så finns det stora möjligheter för Mobile BI ute i verksamheterna. Mobile BI som vilket nytt system som helst kommer även en viss problematik, kritiska framgångsfaktorer har analyserats och utvärderats. Inom dimensionen organisationsstöd identifierades två framgångsfaktorer som kunde styrkas vid namn managementsupport och skickligheter & kunskaper. Utöver dessa kunde även ytterligare två framgångsfaktorer styrkas som kritiska, nämligen datasäkerhet och användbarheten genom den begränsade skärm-ytan. Med denna studie ska det underlätta och göra det enklare för verksamheter att implementera Mobile BI i sin verksamhet. Studien tar upp viktiga framgångsfaktorer vid en implementation av Mobile BI och vad organisationer bör ha i åtanke. / More and more organizations are beginning to see the benefits of Business Intelligence and why it should be implemented into their business.
