The aim of the PROSPER project is to examine the adoption of the process intelligence (PI) and business intelligence (BI) in organizations, as well as to foresee their impact on business performance using cutting-edge technologies (e.g. business process management systems, data mining, simulation software) and research approach (e.g. cross-cultural research, structural equation modelling) with the assistance of multi-country (Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina) and interdisciplinary team of university researchers. The project is multidisciplinary and multi-levelled due to the hierarchical structure of its objectives. At the highest level (L1), the adoption and maturity of PI and BI will be explored in organizations in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Austria. A quantitative empirical research results will be analysed using regression and factor analysis. At the middle level (L2), the impact of critical factors (e.g. organizational culture and structure) on PI and BI adoption will be analyzed. L2 research results will be explored using qualitative (e.g. case study, semi-structured interviews) and quantitative methods (e.g. structural equation modelling), the goal being development of the process performance measurement model. At the third level (L3), the practical applicability of the L1 and L2 research results will be tested and evaluated using specific business cases in PI and BI adoption for business performance. Models will be developed for the usage of BI in some specific business cases and industries, with the goal of increasing business performance.
