Abstract

A number of prior studies have been conducted to assess the extent of progress within these stages in the BI area. Among them, a study of Eom [1] has provided bibliometric evidence that the decision support system has made meaningful progress over the past three and a half decades (1969–2004). The primary data for this study were gathered from a total of 498 citing articles in the BI/DSS area over the past eight years (2005–2012). This study, based on author cocitation analysis (ACA), presents two important findings. First, the empirical consensus of BI researchers reveals that the focus of business intelligence research is shifting to knowledge management and data mining. Second, since ACA is a supporting quantitative tool that must be used with further qualitative analysis of bibliographic data, we examined the foundational concepts of knowledge management provided by the most influential scholars and their most frequently cited publications.
