Inteligência dinâmica nas organizações: a utilização de redes bayesianas na redução de incertezas nos processos de inteligência competitiva / Dynamic intelligence in organizations: the usage of bayesian networks to reduce uncertainties in competitive intelligence processesAlexandre Del Rey 24 January 2012 (has links)
O objetivo da dissertação é explorar Redes Bayesianas como ferramenta para reduzir incertezas nos processos de Inteligência Competitiva. Nela, através da revisão de conceitos de Planejamento Estratégico, Tomada de Decisão, Inteligência Competitiva e da capacidade de inferência de Redes Bayesianas é proposta uma abordagem de utilização destas redes com este intuito. Para tanto um estudo de caso apresenta o passo a passo da implementação da abordagem proposta em um ambiente simulado de gestão. No estudo de caso, cada uma das etapas da modelagem de cenários é descrita em detalhes, salientando os cuidados necessários para esta modelagem. Com a modelagem finalizada, dois quase-experimentos foram conduzidos em ambientes simulados para avaliar a percepção e o desempenho dos tomadores de decisão que utilizaram Redes Bayesianas em relação aos tomadores de decisão que não a utilizaram. Os dados obtidos no primeiro quase-experimento não se mostraram confiáveis e no segundo quase-experimento não formaram uma amostra significativa do ponto de vista estatístico. Não obstante, foi possível apresentar contribuições através das observações e dados obtidos nestes quaseexperimentos conduzidos. Do ponto de vista processual, falhas na construção dos quaseexperimento e sugestões de melhoria foram apresentadas. Quanto à ferramenta modelada e construída com base em Redes Bayesianas, foi possível identificar percepções do usuário relativas ao seu uso e sugestões de como aprimorá-la. Quanto aos dados de desempenho obtido, foi possível analisar, no segundo quase-experimento, indícios, mesmo que não conclusivos, que justificam a proposição de novos estudos para aprofundamento. Com base na literatura e nos indícios obtidos é possível acreditar que Redes Bayesianas podem ser usadas na redução de incerteza nos processos de inteligência competitiva e de tomada de decisão. / The aim of this work is to explore Bayesian Networks as a tool to reduce uncertainties in the process of Competitive Intelligence. Here, by reviewing the concepts of Strategic Planning, Decision Making, Competitive Intelligence and the ability to infer of Bayesian Networks, it is proposed an approach for using these networks with this purpose. For this, a case study presents a step by step implementation of the proposed approach in a simulated management environment. In the case study, each step of the modeling scenarios is described in detail, emphasizing the care required for this modeling. With the modeling complete, two quasi-experiments were conducted in simulated environments to assess the perception and performance of decision makers who used Bayesian networks in comparison to the decision makers who have not used it. Data from the first quasi-experiment were not reliable and the second quasi-experiment did not form a representative sample from the statistical point of view. Nevertheless, it was possible to make contributions through the observations and data from these quasi-experiments conducted. From the standpoint of procedural, flaws in the construction of quasiexperiments and suggestions for improvement were presented. Regarding the tool modeled and constructed based on Bayesian Networks, it was possible to identify user perceptions regarding their use and suggestions for how to improve it. As for the performance data obtained, it was possible to examine in the second quasi-experiment, evidence, while not conclusive, that justify the new studies on the subject. Based on the literature and the evidence obtained, it is the possible that Bayesian Networks can be used for reducing uncertainty in the process of competitive intelligence and decisionmaking.

Informationsdesign + omvärldsanalys = sant? : En studie i hur informationsdesign behandlas som en aspekt av omvärldsanalysIsetoft, Magnus January 2006 (has links)
Access to correct and updated intelligence about our environment is in an increasingly degree considered important in the private as well as in the public sector. At Mälardalens University, competitive intelligence as an area of research is closely related to Information Design - a multidisciplinary consideration which goal is to improve the receiver´s understanding of intended messages. This study was conducted in order to find out how Information Design was represented in different kinds of literature regarding Competitive Intelligence. Also, it describes the main focus areas concerning Competitive Intelligence in the same literature. Through an explorative "pearl-growing" method combined with searches through referrals, 60 different sources provide a broad basis for analysis. Results state that considerable differences between the sources exist regarding approach and focus, although some major similarities are visible as well. However, in the examined literature, Information Design reveals itself as a subject of slight importance at best. / Tillgång till korrekta och uppdaterade underrättelser om vår omvärld betraktas i allt högre grad som viktigt i såväl den privata som den offentliga sektorn. Vid Mälardalens Högskola relateras omvärldsanalys som vetenskapsområde till Informationsdesign - en tvärvetenskaplig disciplin vars mål är att öka förståelsen hos mottagaren av avsiktliga meddelanden. Studien genomfördes för att ta reda på hur informationsdesign behandlades i olika slags litteratur om omvärldsanalys. Dessutom beskriver den huvudsakliga fokusområden kring omvärldsanalys i samma litteratur. Genom en explorativ ”pearl-growing”-metod kombinerad med referenssökningar ger 60 olika källor en bred bas för analys. Enligt resultaten finns avsevärda skillnader mellan källorna beträffande infallsvinkel och fokus, även om en del stora likheter också är synliga. Informationsdesign, emellertid, visar sig i den undersökta litteraturen vara ett område av i bästa fall underordnad betydelse.

Business Intelligence : en diskussion om begreppet och fenomenetKarlsson, Göran, Karlberg, Joon January 2006 (has links)
Our aim with this thesis was to closer study business intelligence to be able to present an overview of both the concept and the phenomenon. We have also developed a framework that show how business intelligence can be used effectively. We think that our framework can be of help to under-stand the areas which constitutes the core of business intelligence. We think that the framework we have developed is a good basis for the im-plementation of business intelligence in an organisation and that it also can be of help in the daily business intelligence work. / Vårt mål med denna uppsats var att studera business intelligence närma-re för att kunna presentera en övergripande bild av både begreppet och fenomenet. Vi har även tagit fram ett framework för hur en effektiv an-vändning av business intelligence skulle kunna se ut. Vi tror att vårt fra-mework kan vara till hjälp för att förstå de områden som utgör kärnan i business intelligence. Vi tror att det framework vi tagit fram är en bra grund för införandet av business intelligence i en organisation och att det även kan vara till hjälp i det arbete som dagligen utförs gällande business intelligence.

Dynamic approach to competitive intelligence : case studies of large-scale Swiss telecom firmsSchlick, Sandra January 2016 (has links)
The research aim is to understand how the competitive intelligence (CI) process in large-scale Swiss telecom companies contributes to management decision-making. Studying CI activities of the Swiss large-scale telecom firms (Swisscom, Sunrise, Orange/Salt, Cablecom) in a dynamic European context offers useful insight into the critical challenges that service firms now face when developing intelligence in disruptive market contexts where aggressive competitive behaviour is evident. In considering CI theory, this study has reviewed perspectives drawn from research on the CI process, studies on knowledge management and work on systems thinking. In extending the predominant modular view of CI to include elements of systems thinking, this study has added to our academic understanding of CI at firm level. An Integrative CI Activities framework was developed that enables a more holistic perspective of CI to be adopted, taking account of operational, organisational and strategic perspectives. A diagram representing the range of CI analysis methodologies has also been generated, that differentiates between internal/external orientation and static/dynamic forms of CI analysis. Such frameworks can be used by CI researchers in other market contexts. The methodology for this study drew on a pragmatist philosophy, using a case study strategy that adopted mixed methods in data collection, including semi-structured depth interviews with top CI Analysts in each firm. Findings have shown differences in the scope of CI Activities that link to stages of CI development (developing, developed) and variation between headquarters-centred and firm-centred approaches to CI planning and implementation. The adoption of query based, flexible analysis approaches in firm-centred settings differ from more structured CI analysis techniques in headquarters-based firms. Evidence from this study suggests that networked communication, strong feedback mechanisms and the adoption of more flexible CI analyst roles link to more effective CI processes and to greater potential for direct CI contribution to decision-making. Key contributions emerge through the three lenses of analysis adopted (operational, organisational and strategic); in terms of operational CI processes, the study identifies a complex integrated system at work in firms that implement CI effectively. In studying the link between organisational structure and CI analysis, the study has mapped organisational support patterns and how they shape the CI process at firm level. With respect to the strategic lens, following a detailed worked study of predictive analysis in one case firm, findings have identified adaptiveness in CI design as essential to address disruptive market change. Managerial consideration include a need for a) greater flexibility in CI implementation at firm level to adapt to turbulent markets, b) acknowledgement of the importance of the CI analyst role further and c) more dynamic CI content to be generated by CI analysts.

Možnosti využití Competitive Intelligence v exekutivních IS / Possibilities of Competitive Intelligence serviceability in executive ISHoráková, Markéta January 2010 (has links)
Executive information systems or Business Intelligence (BI) systems are implemented in the majority of companies today. Contemporary trend is to focus these systems on the Corporate Performance Management (CPM), in which special processes, methodologies and metrics necessary for measurement and management of the business performance are used. This thesis explores how principles and tools of Competitive Intelligence (CI) may be applied in these systems. CI is another discipline useful for strategic management of a company. In the theoretical part of this thesis are briefly described principles of BI, CPM and CI. The main aim is to analyze the possibility, whether we can extend a potential of the executive information systems through the usage of Competitive Intelligence principles and technologies. This part is based especially on technical literature and other relevant sources. The practical part of the thesis explores these questions on a real system called the Business Navigation System (BNS). The aim is to analyze BNS in a viewpoint of Competitive Intelligence serviceability and to design new functionality. The contribution of this thesis in the theoretic area is the consideration; whether it's possible to derive benefit from the principles of CI in the executive information systems. The practical contribution is an evaluation of BNS and the suggestions, how to involve technologies of CI to the some modules of this system.
