Abstract
BI system utilisation influence organisational knowledge, data sensemaking and meaning construction practices. The research explore how the use of BI technologies change meaning power distribution in an organisation. The study used two theories of meaning power – deterministic and continuous framing. From those their concepts the framework for interview guide was compiled. Interpretative strategy and qualitative approach were leveraged. One-case study with 5 semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted. Slight meaning power redistribution in favour to BI analysts was founded within continuous framing concepts. BI specialists became key meaning recommenders with high level of trust and influence on decision makers. Considerable... (More)

BI specialists became key meaning recommenders with high level of trust and influence on decision makers. Considerable meaning power increase for BI analysts was indicated within deterministic concepts. The growth was provided by resource power component. BI analysts gained more power due to better IT knowledge, analytical skills, data access and data control. (Less)
