Business Intelligence (BI) is a set of technological processes for collecting, managing, and analysing organizational data to yield insights that inform business strategies and operations. Enterprises can use business intelligence to support various business decisions, from operational to strategic. Fundamental operating decisions include product positioning or pricing. Strategic business decisions involve priorities, goals, and directions at the broadest level. Based on the Open Alex database, this study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge generated and disseminated in previous Business Intelligence (BI) investigations over the past 10 years. A slight decline from 2015 to 2016 could indicate external factors negatively impacting the metric. After 2016, the growth rate appears to accelerate, particularly from 2022 onward. The jump from 2022 to 2023 (44.27%) and 2023 to 2024 (68.89%) suggests a rapid increase, possibly due to changes in market conditions, increased demand, or successful strategies implemented in the preceding years. The growth rates vary significantly year-on-year, particularly in the last few years. This volatility may warrant further investigation into the causes of such fluctuations. Subscription-based access accounts for over half (55.5%) of the total access types. This indicates a strong preference or reliance on subscription models for accessing content or services. The most prominent topic is Big Data and Business Intelligence (Dominant Topic), with a significant count of 7,653 publications, accounting for approximately 57.42% of the total publications. The University of London has 148 publications, making it the most prolific institution in this study. India especially has the highest geographical representation of Business Intelligence research.
