Management and information systems are considered two major disciplines that have to be combined to benefit from
knowledge for rational decision-making which means strict procedures utilizing objective knowledge and logic for many
years. Effective and efficient use of already invested organizational resources is a key subject to gain a competitive advantage by making decisions with the help of AI techniques which benefit from both internal and external knowledge. This
paper introduces a new model to get benefits from open-source intelligence (OSINT) in the context of external knowledge
with a green computing approach for solving global organizational challenges in the scope of Society 5.0. This research
has a dual background, theoretical and practical. Problem defining and hypothesis formulation was carried out by literature
review. Then, the application developed according to the proposed model was put into action in some organizations for
testing, and feedback from experts who participated in the proof of concept (POC) activities was evaluated and discussed
empirically. Finally, the findings of our research, the advantages of our model, and both academic and business future
work were summarized. It has been practically determined that the model and application we have developed are largely
successful in line with our hypotheses. However, the weaknesses and advantages of our study were also revealed. Our
research is the first study that combines Management Information Systems and Open-Source Intelligence disciplines
with the approach of Society 5.0 to support SMEs in analyzing open-source information to build better decision-making
mechanisms. The developed application in this study can also be applied to solving other green distributed computing
needs in different domains
