The study aims to investigate the influence of business intelligence on decision-making quality, considering organizational ambidexterity as a moderating factor. The sample included a broad group of professionals from the high-technology segment, surveying 450 respondents; 254 valid responses were obtained from senior executives, supervisors, and analysts. These respondents were selected as they had a clear ability for a deeper dive into strategic goals and international expansion strategies, effectiveness in capacities, and daily financial management improvement. The results showed that with the use of business intelligence tools, organizations were in a better position to provide a higher quality of strategic decision-making (p < 0.01) as it helped in the functioning of new opportunities to identify and capitalize, while keeping an eye on the current capabilities. The study underscores that organizational ambidexterity is one of the most dominant causes (p < 0.01) for the effective realization of the benefits of business intelligence. Thus, for effective decision-making, it is crucial for organizations to synergize business intelligence tools with their ambidextrous capabilities. This underscores the significant role of organizational ambidexterity as a moderator and further demonstrates its importance in optimizing the use of business intelligence to improve strategic decision-making processes.
