内容简介

Prior empirical research on the impact of business data analytics (BDA) has focused on its effects on aspects such as new product success (Shirazi et al. 2022), supply chain performance (Al-Khatib, 2022), and organizational performance (Garmaki et al. 2023). While these eventual performance consequences are important, they are mediated and moderated by several factors, as the prior literature acknowledges. This paper focuses on a more direct consequence of BDA on the firm — on the firm’s management earnings forecast. More specifically, we argue that if a firm’s BDA capabilities would enable it to have better information (consistent with organizational information processing theory Chen et al. 2021), it would be reflected in its voluntary information disclosure (consistent with disclosure theory; e.g., Diamond 1985; Trueman 1986; Verrecchia 1990) through both the firm’s issuance of management earnings forecasts and the quality of information in those forecasts. Thus, the paper’s first research question is: How does the quality of a firm’s internal information facilitated by BDA announcement affect the likelihood and quality of the firm’s management earnings forecast?

Disclosure theory suggests that a firm’s voluntary information disclosure reduces information asymmetry and depends on the firm’s internal information (Verrecchia 1983; Li et al. 2012; Kim et al. 2023). Therefore, if a firm has higher quality internal information, it would be both more likely to issue voluntary disclosures, and provide disclosures that reduce information asymmetry with outside stakeholders (including shareholders) to a greater extent. We argue that the BDA announcement serves as a signal of the effect of the announced BDA on the firm’s internal information, and thereby moderate the effect of the BDA announcement on the firm’s management earnings forecasts. Thus, the paper’s second research question is: How do the attributes of the announced BDA effort moderate the effects of the BDA announcement on the likelihood and quality of the firm’s management earnings forecast?

摘要:以往关于商业数据分析(BDA)影响力的实证研究主要探讨了它对新产品成功(Shirazi 等人,2022年)、供应链表现(Al-Khatib,2022年)和组织绩效(Garmaki 等人,2023年)等方面的效果。虽然这些绩效结果很关键,但据先前文献所示,它们受到多个因素的影响和限制。本篇文章更直接地关注BDA对公司的影响,尤其是对公司管理层盈利预测的影响。更确切地说,我们提出如果公司的BDA能力能让它获取更准确的信息(这与组织信息处理理论相符,参见Chen等人,2021年),那么这将在其自愿性信息披露中反映出来(与披露理论相符,比如Diamond 1985年;Trueman 1986年;Verrecchia 1990年),既体现在公司发布的管理层盈利预测,也体现在这些预测的信息质量上。因此,本文首要探讨的问题是:BDA公告所提升的公司内部信息质量,如何影响公司管理层盈利预测的可能性及其质量?

披露理论指出,公司的自愿信息披露能够减少信息不对称,并且这种披露依赖于公司的内部信息(Verrecchia 1983年;Li等人,2012年;Kim等人,2023年)。因此,如果公司拥有更高质量的内部信息,它不仅更可能进行自愿披露,而且还能提供更有效地减少与外部利益相关者(包括股东)之间信息不对称的披露。我们认为BDA公告作为一种信号,表明了BDA对公司内部信息影响的效果,进而调节BDA公告对公司管理层盈利预测的影响程度。因此,本文的第二个研究问题是:宣布的BDA特性如何调节BDA公告对公司管理层盈利预测的可能性及其质量的影响?
