INFORMATION RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JOURNAL (IRMJ)
Guest Editor: Dr. Zakariya Belkhamza
INTRODUCTION:
The analysis of large data sets—so called big data—in a competitive global environment is becoming a key basis of underpinning new waves of productivity growth and innovation. Data now have reached every sector in the global industries. Organization and business leaders across all industries are looking for opportunities to minimize costs, increase efficiencies and gain competitive advantage in managing information and data. They are also focusing on IT as a way to accomplish these goals. The increasing volume and detail of information and data captured by enterprises will synergize exponential growth in data for the foreseeable future. Responding to this emerging issue, many companies are introducing new technologies designed to help businesses and governments tackle big data by making it simpler and more economical to analyze massive amounts of data. For this, organizations are required not only to attract the right talent and technology but also structure incentives in order to optimize the management of data. We can clearly see that the possibilities of big data continue to evolve, driven by the recent advancement in the underlying technologies, platforms, and capabilities of handling data. The question that arise is how to best get the value
