Description

In SMEs, the data usage has been rapidly increasing. Thus, the need to implement and use of the BI systems is crucial in order to enhance the organization performance. This study aims to examine the initial and post-adoption factors that influence owners /managers’ decision to adopt and use BI systems in SMEs in SA and to compare effects from these factors on both sides. To achieve this, an integrated model is proposed and empirically tested. This model has integrated established theories including TOE framework, IS adoption for small business and DOI theory. Our results show that, in initial adoption stage, all the proposed factors are significant predictors of BI system adoption, except the relative advantage. In contrast, in post-adoption stage, all those factors are significant predictors of the extent use of BI system, except the relative advantage and complexity. Also the comparison of the initial and post-adoption stages is highlighted.
