HICSS-52 CALL FOR PAPERS: Collaboration Systems and Technologies Track--Business Intelligence & Big Data for Innovative and Sustainable Development of Organizations Minitrack

Minitrack co-chairs: Celina Olszak, Sandeep Goyal, Jozef Zurada

The development of the Internet, social media, distributed databases, and a variety of mobile devices has caused a huge increase in data. Much of this diverse data in unstructured and structured forms has a high business value and, if properly utilized, can become an important organizational asset. It contains various information about customers, competition, labor market, and development trends for industries, products and services, as well as the public and political mood. For innovative and sustainable development, it is essential for organizations to utilize this data to increase sales, identify future opportunities and new markets, outperform the competition, enhance products and services, recruit talent, improve operations, perform forecasting, protect the brand, and identify areas for improvement to name a few. However, many organizations make a limited use of this valuable data available to them either because they lack necessary tools or do not understand the value of this d ata.
