6. Conclusions

In this survey, we present a unique overview and insight into the development of business-oriented visualisation in academic research and beyond. We use a novel classification of literature that enables readers to understand the state-of-the-art in this field comprehensively. We have outlined trends in the research and discussed the potential future of visualisation within the business world. The survey provides a valuable resource for both the visualisation community and businesses interested in adopting visualisation approaches.
