Utilizing big data analytics for information systems research: challenges, promises and guidelines
TLDR
This article is set out to dissect BDA’s challenges and promises for IS research, and illustrates them by means of an exemplary study about predicting the helpfulness of 1.3 million online customer reviews.
Inflated granularity: Spatial “Big Data” and geodemographics
Data analytics, particularly the current rhetoric around “Big Data”, tend to be presented as new and innovative, emerging ahistorically to revolutionize modern life. In this article, we situate one…
Ecological views of big data: Perspectives and issues
TLDR
The development of big data is examined by reviewing this theory, identifying key components of the big data ecosystem, and explaining how these components are likely to evolve over time.
Big Data and Policy Making: Between Real Time Management and the Experimental Dimension of Policies
TLDR
By considering the cycle of the policy process, the policy making activities the pilots are experiencing, and the data they are processing, the paper shows how the pilot cases are internalizing the policy experimentation opportunity, addressing the further pilots’ activities, into a continuous policy adaptation cycle.
The big data system, components, tools, and technologies: a survey
TLDR
This paper aims to present a generalized view of complete big data system which includes several stages and key components of each stage in processing the big data, and systematically investigates big data tools and technologies including distributed/cloud-based stream processing tools in a comparative approach.

The big data divide and its consequences
Recent advances in technology and the increasing volumes of data that they enable have led to a wave of scholarly and popular attention to big data. While big data is often heralded for its ability…
Revisiting IS research practice in the era of big data
TLDR
A research approach is proposed that incorporates consideration of big data—and associated implications such as data abundance—into a classic approach to building and testing theory, and the implications for the organization, execution, and evaluation of theory-informed research are discussed.
