Big Data-driven Value Creation for Organizations

The past few years have been characterized by an enormous increase in data coming from different sources in real time and in many diverse forms. The term commonly used for such data is Big Data (BD). Much of this BD has a high business value and, if properly utilized, can become an important organizational asset helping the organization to achieve competitive advantage. However, many organizations make a limited use of BD because they lack necessary tools and/or do not understand the value of this data. The main contribution of this study is to investigate an issue of Big Data and elements shaping creation of BD-based business value. In particular, the outcome of this research is to build and verify a framework to provide business value based on BD. The proposed framework is distinguished by three components: (1) dynamic capabilities of organizations, (2) integrated process of BD resource exploration and exploitation, and (3) identification and measurement of business value creation based on BD

Disruptive Technologies as a Driver to Organizational Success. Organizational Culture Perspective

There is a lot of evidence in the research literature that Information Technologies can play a crucial role in achieving competitive advantage, improving decision-making, and achieving organizational success. Unfortunately, research on exploring the issues of using Disruptive Technologies (DT) is still limited, especially studies into the relationship between the use of DT and organizational success. The main contribution of this study is to investigate the issue of DT's impact on organizational success, in particular identifying the benefits of using DT in organizations, as well as examining to what extent organizational culture can be a factor in enhancing organizational success. The study presents the results of research on the use of Disruptive Technologies carried out in 194 organizations, especially in the areas of DT usage and the benefits that organizations achieve from adopting them, as well as the impact of organizational culture on organizational success

Dashboard Framework. A Tool for Threat Monitoring on the Example of Covid-19

The aim of the study is to create a dashboard framework to monitor the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic based on quantitative and qualitative data processing. The theoretical part propounds the basic assumptions underlying the concept of the dashboard framework. The paper presents the most important functions of the dashboard framework and examples of its adoption. The limitations related to the dashboard framework development are also indicated. As part of empirical research, an original model of the Dash-Cov framework was designed, enabling the acquisition and processing of quantitative and qualitative data on the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The developed model was pre-validated. Over 25,000 records and around 100,000 tweets were analyzed. The adopted research methods included statistical analysis and text analysis methods, in particular the sentiment analysis and the topic modeling
