Abstract
Actual and effective use of Business Intelligence Systems (BIS) is considered as one of the main sources of competitive advantage for long-term survival of organizations and presents a link between the information provided by BIS and the business value of BIS. Acceptance of BIS should not be understood only as frequency and intensity of use, which was the focus of most previous research focused mostly on operational IS. Using BIS must become embedded in the business value generation process. In this study we develop a conceptual model of BIS embeddedness with a specific set of determinants identified using exploratory analysis based on semi-structured interviews among professionals in the field. Understanding acceptance and use of BIS presents a priority item for both researchers and practitioners in the field alike, as better understanding of these factors might improve the utilization and business value of BIS in organizations.

Conceptualization of BIS Embeddedness Determinants
Actual and effective use of Business Intelligence Systems (BIS) is considered as one of the main sources of competitive advantage for long-term survival of organizations and presents a link between the information provided by BIS and the business value of BIS. Acceptance of BIS should not be understood only as frequency and intensity of use, which was the focus of most previous research focused mostly on operational IS. Using BIS must become embedded in the business value generation process. In this study we develop a conceptual model of BIS embeddedness with a specific set of determinants identified using exploratory analysis based on semi-structured interviews among professionals in the field. Understanding acceptance and use of BIS presents a priority item for both researchers and practitioners in the field alike, as better understanding of these factors might improve the utilization and business value of BIS in organizations.
