Introduction: Research and Research-in-Progress

Abstract

Inspired by the theme "Exploring the Information Frontier" of the ICIS 2015 conference, the Pre-ICIS Business Analytics Congress workshop sought forward-thinking research in the areas of data science, business intelligence, analytics, and decision support with a special focus on the state of business analytics from the perspectives of organizations, faculty, and students. The research track aimed to promote comprehensive research or research-in-progress on the role of business intelligence and analytics in the creation, spread, and use of information. This work has been summarized in this chapter.
