Making strategic decisions in a vigorous business setting is a challenge encountered by many organizations nowadays. Today, information is gathered all over the place and is rapidly expanding. Organization required powerful application and systematic system that could run in real time, provide insightful tracking for supply chains, logistics and operations that closely related to applications for sales tracking, hourly, daily to monthly production, financial, and many other sources of business data for purposes that consist of business performance management. Business Intelligence has a critical role in terms of organizational development as Business Intelligence (BI) be able to provide a competitive advantage in the context of achieving positive information asymmetry, that is, unifying and making useful heterogeneous data. However, the impact of BI and the relative importance of its insight on business performance have not yet been investigated. For this study, data were collected from a survey questionnaire of IT managers in 162 multinational companies in Malaysia and analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS) with the SmartPLS software. This research recommends that although BI and its insight contribute to management practices, the information requirements are diverse according on the level of uncertainty versus ambiguity characteristic of the organizations practice.

Global warming is a standout amongst the present most critical environmental issues, caused generally by emission of greenhouse gases, for example, carbon dioxide from the consuming of fossil fuels. Emissions of carbon dioxide fluctuate all through nations in Asia. It is progressively perceived that nations must act to advance the more prominent utilization of renewable energy resources as a component of activities looking to relieve environmental change. This paper shows a survey of the energy request situation in Malaysia and Indonesia. In this renewable energy, resources are getting to be attractive for sustainable energy development in Malaysia. It is essential for Malaysia to build the consumption of renewable energy to lessen its reliance on dirty fossil fuels for electricity generation. This paper endeavours to examine the elements influencing renewable electricity consumption (REC) in Malaysia. In particular, our examination means to investigate the long-haul relationship among REC, economic growth, CO 2 emanations, foreign direct investment (FDI) and exchange transparency over the period from 1980 to 2015. By utilizing autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing cointegration approach, we locate that financial development and FDI are the real drivers for REC. Exchange transparency, be that as it may, is found to have a negative effect on REC over the long haul. Strangely, the impact of CO 2 outflows on REC isn't critical. In addition, the vector error correction model (VECM) Granger causality test finds the presence of a unidirectional causality relationship running from GDP to REC, affirming the legitimacy of conservation hypothesis in Malaysia. Some significant policy suggestions are likewise talked about. It is accordingly prescribed that the policymakers are required to concentrate on the green energy generation part by expanding renewable energy creation from the current sources.
