BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE COSTS AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM SELECTED TOP ECOWAS’ BANKS | Journa

Using a descriptive-quantitative study technique and an economic theoretical framework, the influence of business intelligence expenses on the performance of chosen top ECOWAS banks that reached Banker Magazine's 2017 list of 1000 Global banks was explored. Based on the data available, a purposeful sampling approach was used. Data was gathered from audited annual reports of sampling banks from 2012 to 2016. Six hypotheses based on the literature were created and evaluated using OLS multiple regression analysis. The study found that: I computer hardware cost had no significant effect on profitability, but had significant negative effects on value added and productivity of sampled banks; (ii) software cost had significant negative effects on profitability, but significant positive effects on value added and productivity of sampled banks; and (iii) total equity cost had significant negative effects on profitability, but significant positive effects on value added and productivity of sampled banks.
