Critical Factors Considered by Companies to Introduce Business Intelligence Systems
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper entitled “Critical Factors Considered by Companies to Adopt Business Intelligence Systems” deals with a very interesting topic. In general, I appreciate the aims of this work; it is quite interesting and informative to most readers of this field.
However, I have the following comments that hopefully help the authors improve their paper:
· The structure (outline) of the paper could be given at the end of the introductory chapter.
· I suggest that the authors add a research method diagram. This will provide a snapshot of the research steps followed and will help the reader in a clearer understanding of the paper.
· The literature review is not clear, which make it hard to understand the relationship between this work and the previous research. Furthermore, it would be better if authors can have a table comparing the closely related works on various dimensions and clearly showing the contribution of the paper.
· The discussion related to implementation of the approach followed is weak and confusing, and it deserves a deeper discussion.
· What are the limitations of the study in terms of the proposed method, data used, approaches, and/or analysis?
· The main contribution of this paper should be compared with other similar empirical studies.
· How does this understanding help organizations and the industry to make better decisions?
· The authors should convince the readers of this journal, that their contribution is so important. These issues deserve a deeper discussion: What are the managerial implications from this work? What are the implications for theory and practice? How decision or policy makers could benefit from this study.
· The conclusions are slight, and the future work shows nothing more that "good intentions". I believe the authors can make a stronger contribution out of the conducted study. I believe the authors can make a stronger contribution out of the conducted study.
· As usual a final thorough proof-reading is recommended.
I encourage the author to think along those questions and to develop this work further along those lines.

Reviewer 3 Report
The authors investigates the opportunity to implement Business Intelligence (BI) solutions among companies.
Following a questionnaire-based analysis, four critical factors on which the adoption of BI systems depends were identified.
The introduction and the literature review provide sufficient background and include enough references.
However, the part dedicated to research contributions is a bit too short.
The paper fits the Axioms special issue's profile on perfect way.
In conclusion, the paper is well constructed and can be published as it is.
