Goal-Oriented BI
Completion requirements
This deep research showcases a detailed and useful analysis of an integrated goal-oriented, business intelligence-supported decision-making methodology. Is this the kind of mental mapping that works for you? Try to apply the model to something familiar, like purchasing a vehicle or a major appliance. Sometimes the simple examples help us understand the steps and show us where we have leaped from one to another, skipping a basic but crucial one along the way.
Literature review
Comparison with current algorithms
Table 5 compares the existing GRL evaluation algorithms with the new algorithm proposed in this paper (last column).
Table 5 Comparison between GRL evaluation algorithms
| Criteria | Qualitative | Quantitative | Hybrid | Old formula-based | New formula-based |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation type | Qualitative | Quantitative | Hybrid | Quantitative | Quantitative |
| KPI evaluation | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| KPI aggregation | No | No | No | No | Yes |
| Situation impact analysis | No | No | No | No | Yes |
Although this new algorithm addresses issues related to KPI aggregation and situation consideration, there is room for improvement and future work. The main disadvantage of the algorithm is that the formula is part of the model for all strategies. This could make model maintenance difficult when different versions of a model with different formulas are required for what-if scenario analysis. This mechanism could be improved if the formulas were defined as part of or in combination with the GRL strategies themselves.
