Findings
This research paper determines how service supply chains can create value with big data, by building cross-departmental processes. Based on the study’s results, the critical alignment capabilities for successful big data value creation are: IT-process alignment; IT-performance alignment; performance-process alignment; human-IT alignment; and human-process alignment. Additionally, overarching and underlying strategic and organizational alignment capabilities also impacted this value creation. The human impact on employees of big data-led process creation shouldn’t be underestimated.

The arrival of the big data era brings not only opportunities but also challenges to statistics teaching. It is of great significance to explore the statistics teaching mode under the big data environment. Closely following the frontier of Statistics teaching research in the big data environment, this paper combs the literature on statistics teaching research in the big data environment. Through analysis, it is found that the statistics teaching should give consideration to "systematicness" and "pertinence" closely with the pace of the era, constantly cultivate big data thinking, and make good use of statistics, a "sharp tool" for mining data value, so as to better serve social development in the big data environment.
