Another beginning,
Since the last years of the first half of the 20th century, “computers” have attracted the attention of technologists as an attractive and efficient phenomenon. From about four decades ago, the development of the internet, as the main factor of transformations, has presented a different picture of the impact of this information and communication technology (ICT) on organization and business management. Not much has passed since the era when understanding new concepts such as the “information age” and “information revolution”, was a challenge, even for university graduates. But it is surprising that today, even in countries that are not very fortunate in terms of electronic readiness, ICT has penetrated people’s daily livelihood and has become the main topic in many disciplines.
During recent decades, government enterprises and SMEs (Small-Medium Enterprises) have made significant abstract and material investments in this sector. Although the use of ICT has spread among generations and different strata of people, managing the factors of “human resources”, “software” and “hardware” and businesses involved in ICT and regulating their relationship requires extensive and deep knowledge and attention.
BI Management Studies journal is a research-oriented and interdisciplinary publication that reviews and publishes scientific research articles with the aim of promoting business intelligence centered on ICT. The approach of this journal is to focus on new management attitudes in the field of information technology and information systems based on various types of technology, models, frameworks, and management patterns at the domestic and international levels.
This journal focuses on the efficient use of information technology in order to make business decisions smarter, a complete list of the goals and vision of the journal is provided below. Nevertheless, articles with scientific-research quality that are somehow related to business management and information technology are also considered. Most of the research that is carried out in the framework of doctoral theses and sometimes master’s theses have acceptable validity. Related articles extracted from these theses under the compassionate guidance of supervisors are a good source for the journal.
The journal titled “Business Intelligence Management Studies” continues, the “Information Technology Management Studies” quarterly journal, of which 20 issues have been regularly published since the fall of 2011, is available digitally on the journal’s website and in print form released. The publication of scientific research quarterly of business intelligence management studies from issue 21 is published in cooperation with Allameh Tabataba’I University and the informatics association of Iran, which is one of the oldest scientific associations in the country. The members of the editorial board of the journal hope that this publication can make a small contribution to the scientific and technological advancement of the country. In the following, you can see the goals and main areas of activity of the publication.
