Abstract

The present study aims to develop and empirically validate a framework for exploring the role of business intelligent tools in shaping the dimensions of collective intelligence. A questionnaire survey was developed to collect data from 9 firms across all industries with a sample of 89 respondents. Structural Equation Modeling, using smart PLS was conducted to analyze the data. The results indicated that business intelligent tools play a significant role in harvesting the dimensions of collective intelligence, including collective cognition, shared memory, knowledge sharing, and collective learning.
