Big data is one of modern tools that have impacted the world industry a lot of. It also plays an important role in determining the ways in which businesses and organizations formulate their strategies and policies. However, very limited academic researches has been conducted into forecasting based on big data due to the difficulties in capturing, collecting, handling, and modeling of unstructured data, which is normally characterized by it’s confidential. We define big data in the context of ecosystem for future forecasting in business decision-making. It can be difficult for a single organization to possess all of the necessary capabilities to derive strategic business value from their findings. That’s why different organizations will build, and operate their own analytics ecosystems or tap into existing ones. An analytics ecosystem comprising a symbiosis of data, applications, platforms, talent, partnerships, and third-party service providers lets organizations be more agile and adapt to changing demands. Organizations participating in analytics ecosystems can examine, learn from, and influence not only their own business processes, but those of their partners. Architectures of popular platforms for forecasting based on big data are presented in this issue.

Big Data Analytics is a major branch of data science where the huge amount raw data is processed to get insight for relevant business processes. Integration of big data, its analytics along with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is need of the hour, such integration shall render reusability and scalability to various business processes. This chapter explains the concept of Big Data and Big Data Analytics at its implementation level. The Chapter further describes Hadoop and its technologies which are one of the popular frameworks for Big Data Analytics and envisage integrating SOA with relevant case studies. The chapter demonstrates the SOA integration with Big Data through, two case studies of two different scenarios are incorporated that integrates real world implementation with theory and enables better understanding of the industrial level processes and practices.

Big Data Analytics has changed the way organizations make decisions, manage business processes, and create new products and services. Business analytics is the use of data, information technology, statistical analysis, and quantitative methods and models to support organizational decision making and problem solving. The main categories of business analytics are descriptive analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics. Big Data is data that exceeds the processing capacity of conventional database systems and is typically defined by three dimensions known as the Three V's: Volume, Variety, and Velocity. Big Data brings big challenges. Big Data not only has influenced the analytics that are utilized but also has affected technologies and the people who use them. At the same time Big Data brings challenges, it presents opportunities. Those who embrace Big Data and effective Big Data Analytics as a business imperative can gain competitive advantage.

Small Island State

Big data is emerging, and the latest developments in technology have spawned enormous amounts of data. The traditional databases lack the capabilities to handle this diverse data and thus has led to the employment of new technologies, methods, and tools. This research discusses big data, the available big data analytical tools, the need to use big data analytics with its benefits and challenges. Through a research drawing on survey questionnaires, observation of the business processes, interviews and secondary research methods, the organizations, and companies in a small island state are identified to survey which of them use analytical tools to handle big data and the benefits it proposes to these businesses. Organizations and companies that do not use these tools were also surveyed and reasons were outlined as to why these organizations hesitate to utilize such tools.

In this digital world, as organizations are evolving rapidly with data centric asset the explosion of data and size of the databases have been growing exponentially. Data is generated from different sources like business processes, transactions, social networking sites, web servers, etc. and remains in structured as well as unstructured form. The term ― Big data is used for large data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data varies in size ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of data in a single data set. Difficulties include capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics and visualizing. Big data is available in structured, unstructured and semi-structured data format. Relational database fails to store this multi-structured data. Apache Hadoop is efficient, robust, reliable and scalable framework to store, process, transforms and extracts big data. Hadoop framework is open source and fee software which is available at Apache Software Foundation. In this paper we will present Hadoop, HDFS, Map Reduce and c-means big data algorithm to minimize efforts of big data analysis using Map Reduce code. The objective of this paper is to summarize the state-of-the-art efforts in clinical big data analytics and highlight what might be needed to enhance the outcomes of clinical big data analytics tools and related fields.

Data science or specifically data analytics systems have become an emerging trend in information technology and have attracted many organizations, including higher education. Higher Education Systems (HES) involve very active entities (students, faculty members, researchers, employers) who generate and require large volumes of data that go beyond the structured data stored in the house. The collection, analysis, and visualization of such big data present a huge challenge for HES. Big data analysis could be the solution to this challenge. However, the rationale and decision process for the adoption of big data analytics can be difficult. Such a knowledge-driven process requires a multitude of technical and organizational aspects that must be accounted for to ensure informed decisions are made. Existing research and development indicates that the decision to adopt, although systematic research with a theoretical background is rare and none of the existing studies have considered diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. This paper aims to support HES, by providing a systematic analysis of the determinants for the decision to adopt big data analytics. An integrated framework referred to as the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework is proposed. The proposed framework is validated using structural equation modeling. Eleven determinants are confirmed that influence the TOE-driven framework for data analytics in HES. The result is expected to contribute to on-going research that attempts to address the complex and multidimensional challenge that relates to data science and analytics implementation in HES.

The rapid ascent of data-driven advertising practices has allowed advertising professionals to develop highly-targeted and personalized advertising campaigns. The success of data-driven advertising relies on if future professionals are proficient with basics of Big Data analytics. However, past research of undergraduate advertising curricula around the world has shown that higher education institutions tend to fall behind in offering the most up-to-dated training for advertising students. Findings have shown that undergraduate advertising programs have slowly taken advantage of the potential of the data analytics tools and techniques. This trend is observed among higher education institutions around the world. Practical, research, and pedagogical implications are discussed.
