This might be unstructured and complex data in voluminous quantity, often called Big Data. However, if this Big Data is managed, it might bring competency for organizations. This chapter introduces the must-know concepts and materials for organizational managers who face Big Data. Through the chapter, Big Data is defined and its emergence over the time is reviewed. The four Vs model in Big Data literature and its link to a banking system is analyzed. The chapter concludes by making a managerial awareness concerning ethical issues in Big Data. This is of high priority in public sectors as data relies for every individual in the society.

UNSTRUCTURED Social media presents great opportunities for internet-mediated research (IMR) using big data. Millions of participants all over the world, each with colossal amount of data associated with their online accounts, can be accessed very easily, without any direct contact - or even indirect contact - between researcher and participants. But with these opportunities come substantial responsibilities. The immense distance between researchers and participants - and often between participants and any knowledge that the research is even being conducted - raises significant ethical issues that must be carefully considered before embarking on such research. This is particularly true for vulnerable groups involved in IMR, as the distance between researcher and participant is so great that the researcher might have no idea that some participants are children, or depressed, or in another vulnerable group.

In the last decade, big data, and social media in particular, have seen increased popularity among citizens, organizations, politicians, and other elites—which in turn has created new and promising avenues for scholars studying long-standing questions of communication flows and influence. Studies of social media play a prominent role in our evolving understanding of the supply and demand sides of the political process, including the novel strategies adopted by elites to persuade and mobilize publics, as well as the ways in which citizens react, interact with elites and others, and utilize platforms to persuade audiences. While recognizing some challenges, this chapter speaks to the myriad of opportunities that social media data afford for evaluating questions of mobilization and persuasion, ultimately bringing us closer to a more complete understanding Lasswell’s (1948) famous maxim: “who, says what, in which channel, to whom, [and] with what effect.”
