Abstract
Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) face persistent challenges in performance tracking and financial reporting due to fragmented data systems, manual processes, and delayed access to critical insights. This thesis examines the use of Power BI, a business intelligence (BI) tool, as a means to modernize reporting practices and support data-driven decision-making within REITs. Drawing on user perceptions and organizational experiences, the study identifies both the opportunities and barriers associated with Power BI implementation. While the tool enhances reporting agility and stakeholder communication, its effectiveness is often limited by technical complexity, data governance constraints, and integration challenges with legacy...

Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) face persistent challenges in performance tracking and financial reporting due to fragmented data systems, manual processes, and delayed access to critical insights. This thesis examines the use of Power BI, a business intelligence (BI) tool, as a means to modernize reporting practices and support data-driven decision-making within REITs. Drawing on user perceptions and organizational experiences, the study identifies both the opportunities and barriers associated with Power BI implementation. While the tool enhances reporting agility and stakeholder communication, its effectiveness is often limited by technical complexity, data governance constraints, and integration challenges with legacy systems. The findings highlight that successful BI adoption is not solely a technical endeavour, but also a socio-organizational process requiring alignment between technological capabilities and organizational readiness.
