The tasks

In recent years, the ability of Business Intelligence (BI) technologies to provide historical, cu
e nt, and
predictive views of business operations based on the collection, extraction, and analysis of business data to
improve decision has been the basis of several studies. More recently, “Big Data” and “Big Data Analytics”
have further sti
ed the interest of researchers and practitioners alike. You are required to conduct market
esearch and write a report on how Big Data can be used in Decision Support and Business Intelligence
(DS&BI).
In this assignment you are required to write a research report focusing on one of the following topics (which
you have already chosen for presentation and have discussed with your tutor)
1. Big data and new decision-making techniques/models/approaches;
2. Organisational and cultural issues of the ‘Data-driven’ organisation;
3. Leveraging big Data for enhancing decision making and creating new business models
4. Social networks for exploiting knowledge or creating intelligence;
The report should be well researched. Business strategy should be mapped clearly to business initiatives,
objectives and tasks. You should able to define required technology stack and required data and analytics
architecture for Big data for DS&BI including the Master Data Management (MDM). You should able to
address advanced analytics requirements necessary to support the business strategy they have selected. And the
ole social media plays in organisations decision making process. You are required to discuss Big Data Value
creation process. The report should address the followings:
1. Identify, create and discuss Business Strategy for a Big Data use case
2. Identify and align business initiatives, objectives and tasks with the developed Business Strategy.
3. Identify and discuss the required Technology Stack

Introduction
Big data is largely transforming the existing standard of business operation by providing a group of opportunities in the context of business performance. Technical advancements play crucial role in order to enhance the level of operations of Delta with the help of Big data implementation. This study is helpful to represent the significance of Big data in business operations. In recent time, business strategy is easily managed with the implementation of Big data in workplace so that organisational activity can be easily carried out. In addition to this, the study is helpful to analyse the role of social media plays in organisations decision making process.
1. Identify, create and discuss Business Strategy for a Big Data use case   
The impact of successful Big data implementation is rising rapidly. The potential level of implementing Big data is so high and for this particular reason business organisations are more inclined to adopt it for business operations. According to Barrett et al. (2013, p.170), it is evident that Big Data Use Case framework is extremely helpful for make organizations understand about its role in business operations. The framework is divided in three basic segments as, Customer, Product and Organization.
	1
	· Data Exploration
	· It provides information regarding enterprises whole data
· It offers portal that store more data
· It also offers platform for Proof of Concepts (POC)
	2
	Customer 360 degree View
	· It is helpful for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Master Device Management (MDM)
· It connects social media to analyse the latest trend so that comprehensive strategy can be developed 
· It emphasises on customer engagement so that effective relationship can be developed with customers
	3
	System Analysis
	· It is helpful to reduce cost of the entire process of data recording and also enhance efficiency to improve data storage using machines
· It can able to monitor and analyse the report on real time basis so more adequate information can be generated
	4
	Data Augmentation
	· With the help of technical advancements, business organisation can able to store unstructured data in structured way
· It has cost effective storage and in the meantime it offers cognitive solutions
	5
	Security Intelligence Extension
	· Event log and packet data-level analysis
· It can able to threats inside the system and then take decisions in order to prevent the threats inside the system
Strategy of Big Data Application
The fundamental objective of using Big data is to track down the process of business operations. As opined by Chen et al. (2014, p.172), in the era of technical advancements both sources of data and volume of data need to be store in digital form so that it can be accessed at any time. The Big data technology is extremely helpful to store disseminated information that might be helpful for organisational process development of Delta. Hence, from the perspective of business organisations it is evident that selection of Big data not only enhances level of business operations but also make the minimise the extra burden of the job.

(Source: Chen et al. 2014, p.172) 
2. Identify and align business initiatives, objectives and tasks with the developed Business Strategy
Management of business organisations need to understand that information sources and IT strategy are accustomed with each other and it is important to align both the factors with Big data so that most effective result can be generated. In this respect, a comprehensive and effective IT governance based business process need to be adopted so that organisational productivity as well as performance can be increased of Delta. According to Chute et al. (2013, p.803), business organisations have faced significant challenge in terms with operations due to absence of technical negligence. In this respect, Big data has come up with a potential approach that is beneficial to carry out business operation in an effective manner.  
Business Model
It is evident that various business organisations are not so much accustomed with technical advancements in terms with IT tools. Hence it is important to develop suitable business model that might be helpful to enhance business performance. Big data is extremely useful to transform existing model of business operations of Delta so that business operation can be easily carried out. Business objectives are internal objectives to achieve strategies. Activities are actions or capabilities to achieve business objectives. 
Business Process Model
It is important for business organisations to adopt suitable model that incorporates with Big data.  “As-is” describes the current business process, and “to-be” describes the ideal business process. In this respect, ideal solution is to implement Big data model so that organisational development can be formulated. 
3. Identify and discuss the required Technology Stack
In the context of technological development, it is important that adopt suitable operating system to carry out business operations. In this respect, Big data plays significant role to enhance the existing mode of operations. As opined by Hoffman and Podgurski (2013, p.62), choosing new technology and transform business operation into it is a complex task. Hence it is important to adopt technology so that the process of technology stack can be incorporated with Big data in Delta.
