Boundaries between business intelligence (BI), big data (BD), and big data analytics (BDA) are often unclear and ambiguous for companies. BD is a new research challenge; it is becoming a subject of growing importance. Notably, BD was one of the big buzzwords during the last decade. BDA can help executive managers to plan an organization's short-term and long-term goals. Furthermore, BI is considered as a kind of decision support system (DSS) that can help organizations achieving their goals, creating corporate value and improving organizational performance. This chapter provides a comprehensive view about the interrelationships between BI, BD, and BDA. Moreover, the chapter highlights the power of analytics that make them considered as one of the highly impact's organizational capability.

The growing importance of big data has headed enterprises to advance their big data analytics capability to strengthen their firm performance. This study tests how big data capability impact on business intelligence infrastructure to achieve firm performance measures such as operational performance and marketing performance. This study is based on the recent literature on the knowledge-based view, big data capability, IT capability, and business intelligence. The primary survey of 272 responses from Chinese firms’ IT managers and big data analysts are used to uncover the relationship in the proposed model. The finding shows that the big data analytics capability significantly impacts on business intelligence infrastructure that in turn positively impact on operational performance and marketing performance. Further, the business intelligence infrastructure partially mediates between big data analytics capability and operational performance, and fully mediates between big data analytics capability and marketing performance. This research contributes to the information systems literature such as big data analytic capability, business intelligence, and firm performance measures, and thus offers grounds to extend more widespread studies in this field. This study adds to the literature on the theory and practical bases for big data capability and business intelligence infrastructure.

PurposeFollowing the rapid expansion of data volume, velocity and variety, techniques and technologies, big data analytics have achieved substantial development and a surge of companies make investments in big data. Academics and practitioners have been considering the mechanism through which big data analytics capabilities can transform into their improved organizational performance. This paper aims to examine how big data analytics capabilities influence organizational performance through the mediating role of dual innovations.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the resource-based view and recent literature on big data analytics, this paper aims to examine the direct effects of big data analytics capabilities (BDAC) on organizational performance, as well as the mediating role of dual innovations on the relationship between (BDAC) and organizational performance. The study extends existing research by making a distinction of BDACs' effect on their outcomes and proposing that BDACs help organizations to generate insights that can help strengthen their dual innovations, which in turn have a positive impact on organizational performance. To test our proposed research model, this study conducts empirical analysis based on questionnaire-base survey data collected from 309 respondents working in Chinese manufacturing firms.FindingsThe results support the proposed hypotheses regarding the direct and indirect effect that BDACs have on organizational performance. Specifically, this paper finds that dual innovations positively mediate BDACs' effect on organizational performance.Originality/valueThe conclusions on the relationship between big data analytics capabilities and organizational performance in previous research are controversial due to lack of theoretical foundation and empirical testing. This study resolves the issue by provides empirical analysis, which makes the research conclusions more scientific and credible. In addition, previous literature mainly focused on BDACs' direct impact on organizational performance without making a distinction of BDAC's three dimensions. This study contributes to the literature by thoroughly introducing the notions of BDAC's three core constituents and fully analyzing their relationships with organizational performance. What's more, empirical research on the mechanism of big data analytics' influence on organizational performance is still at a rudimentary stage. The authors address this critical gap by exploring the mediation of dual innovations in the relationship through survey-based research. The research conclusions of this paper provide new perspective for understanding the impact of big data analytics capabilities on organizational performance, and enrich the theoretical research connotation of big data analysis capabilities and dual innovation behavior.

This article describes a relation between sociotechnical and technological factors involved in launching and implementing Business Intelligence systems. Advanced BI systems include business analytics, data mining, data visualization, data tools and infrastructure, and advanced IT solutions to support business decisions based on big data. Various industries and businesses handle large amounts of data to adapt to changing markets and demand fluctuations, push new technologies, and repair ineffective strategies, etc. With an upsurge in data sizes, more and more new research papers are published today to describe BI implemen-tation, use and results. However, today most studies and scientific publications focus on Business Intelligence technological challenges, while sociotechnical aspects – that is processes involved in business decision mak-ing based on big data – are studied in much rarer cases.

The Analytics tools are capable of suggesting the most favourable future planning by analyzing “Why” and “How” blended with What, Who, Where, and When. Descriptive, Predictive, and Prescriptive analytics are the analytics currently in use. Clear understanding of these three analytics will enable an organization to chalk out the most suitable action plan taking various probable outcomes into account. Currently, corporate are flooded with structured, semi-structured, unstructured, and hybrid data. Hence, the existing Business Intelligence (BI) practices are not sufficient to harness potentials of this sea of data. This change in requirements has made the cloud-based “Analytics as a Service (AaaS)” the ultimate choice. In this chapter, the recent trends in Predictive, Prescriptive, Big Data analytics, and some AaaS solutions are discussed.
