Abstract
Big data analytics (BDA) has a pivotal role in improving business performance, especially in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The objective of this study is to examine the determinants and consequences of BDA adoption for SMEs. The theoretical foundation of the study is derived from Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. Using a survey of 233 SMEs in Saudi Arabia, the results reveal that technical aspects (i.e., complexity and compatibility), environmental aspects (i.e., uncertainty), and organizational aspects (i.e., top management support, organization readiness, and data-driven culture) are perceived as factors that encourage firms to adopt BDA. The study shows a strong relationship between BDA and SMEs’ performance (financial, market, and business process). The empirical work presented in this paper adds to the understanding of the motivators of BDA adoption for SMEs, and consequently the effects of BDA adoption on SME performance. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed further.
期刊介绍：
The interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems (IS) are fast emerging as defining areas of research and development in IS. These developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology (IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and economies. While these developments are shaping the way information is used in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as client/server systems, the Internet and the desktop/multimedia computing revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research and development with considerable practical impact and academic significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, academia looks to extend the reach of IS technology into new application domains. Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) aims to provide a common forum of dissemination of frontline industrial developments of substantial academic value and pioneering academic research of significant practical impact.
