Abstract

Business Intelligence (BI), both in process and product, is one of the methods used by organizations to develop and access useful information or intelligence that can help enhance their performance. This paper therefore evaluates the effect of business intelligence (BI), organizational learning (OL) and innovation (IN) on the performance of SMEs in the South West Nigeria. Ex-post facto design of descriptive survey was adopted for the study. Primary data were collected on SMEs from Southwest Nigeria. A structured questionnaire (r=0.77) was used to elicit information from selected respondents. The sample size of 400 was adopted as derived from Cochran sample size formula out of the population size of 299,401. The data obtained were analyzed using statistical and econometric techniques. The findings from the analysis through logistic regression showed that only Business Intelligent (organization learning and innovation) has a significant influence on firm performance. The study therefore concluded that firm performance could be boosted by the integration of business intelligence, organizational learning and innovation. Hence, it is suggested that Nigerian small and medium scale businesses that are yet to incorporate business intelligence-driven innovation into any part of their production and delivery processes should make a quick effort to do so.
