In an enterprise financial analysts often encounter some problems, such as insufficient information from traditional EPR reports, incompleteness of KPIs from balanced scorecard, no integration into strategy of a business intelligence system and other issues. The ”8-cross business model” should be a basic framework that the CEO of company, the leader of industry, and even the president of a country must comprehend. This research attempts to use the 8-cross business model framework to construct a business Intelligence (BI) system in order to help enterprises to scan information and resolve important decision problems. Based on the 8-cross business model as the framework, we try to design a blueprint with more complete dimensions for a business intelligence system, taking the electronics manufacturing industry as an illustration. This study uses the electronic manufacturing industry as an example to demonstrate how to use the tools of the “8-cross business model” and the “8-cross SWOT” Analysis in constructing an BI system.
Including three operational levels and twelve aspects for analysis, the expansion of dimensions from competitors, industry and the country, increase the utility of information, emphasizing the interaction with the external environment. By this way, business executives in the regular business council could understand impact better from the external environment. Particularly with adoption of leading economic indicators to early detect slowdown of economics, leading to manage risk better when facing crisis. We collect structured data mostly from the public platform of government, financial markets, and competitors.
The uses of the “8-cross business model” and the “8-cross SWOT” Analysis to integrate financial figures of the individual company with the external information to build the KPI for BI system to improve the deficiency of traditional ERP reports. The structure of the BI system can enable the analysts to have clearer strategic thinking. This may help senior executives to discover the problems and provide solutions earlier, adapt to the environmental impacts smoothly, and enforce competitiveness of enterprises in the long-term. | en_US |
