Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of big data initiatives onstrategic management processes. While the majority of strategic management disciplines havehad research dedicated to the use of strategic management theories to understand how big dataaffect organizational performance, the body of research on big data lacks academic work capableof examining how to integrate big data into the strategic management process. The maincontributions of this work are: (1) it highlights the strategic use of big data; (2) it analyses themain frameworks/models proposed by scholars that support the use of big data as a strategicmanagement tool, and outlines this research gap; and (3) it proposes a new framework thatintegrates big data within the strategic management process based on a balanced scorecardmethodology.
