It is described as the way how online informatrion is acquired, analysed, stored and disserminatred for whatever use but that it must be it must be legal though information could be used for all sorts of things. Evaluation /Analysis : 1. I think BI is crucial for business in this world today because it involves information about the business internally/externally.
