From Big Data to Big Performance – Exploring the Potential of Big Data for Enhancing Public Organizations’ Performance. A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

This article examines the possibilities for increasing organizational performance in the public sector using big data by conducting a systematic literature review. It includes the results of 36 scientific articles published between January 2012 and July 2019. The results show a tendency to explain the relationship between big data and organizational performance through the Resource-Based View of the Firm or the Dynamic Capabilities View, arguing that performance improvement in an organization stems from unique capabilities. In addition, the results show that big data performance improvement is influenced by better organizational decision making. Finally, it identifies three dimensions that seem to play a role in this process: the human dimension, the organizational dimension, and the data dimension. From these findings, implications for both practice and theory are derived.

From Human Automation Interactions to Social Human Autonomy Machine Teaming in Maritime Transportation

“…For the initial search we got around n=79,191 results. Since our primary motive was understanding Human factors and other ergonomic issues related to the Human and autonomy teaming, we narrowed our research [32] to the Ergonomics domain in Web of Science (WoS) that published most articles related to maritime transportation , knowing that some papers could be included in other categories (for instance Business for research that include cost-arguments in relation to maritime safety) Reading the abstracts, we excluded all the articles that were unrelated to the topic leading to n=789 results.. As the topic of HAT is multidisciplinary in nature, similar to [33], we included all the articles found without considering the journal or discipline they belong to.…”

A Dynamic Capabilities Approach to Digital Transformation in Public Organizations and the Role of Big Data Analytics: A Review of Literature

“…Bu nedenle bilgi güvenliği ve bilginin korunması amaçlı kamu politikalarının oluşturulması akademik çalışmalarda yeralan ortak öneriler arasındadır (Gül, 2018). Giest (2017) (Guirguis, 2020).…”

Inteligencia artificial y gobernanza de datos en las administraciones públicas: reflexiones y evidencias para su desarrollo

“…Aunque el concepto más extendido es el de «big data», que inicialmente se refería a aquellos datos digitales que son demasiado grandes, poco elaborados o desestructurados para ser analizados mediante técnicas convencionales de bases de datos relacionales, y que posteriormente evolucionó para incluir los procesos a través de los cuales las organizaciones obtienen valor de ellos (Guirguis, 2020;Kim et al, 2014). Una definición que, en el contexto del presente artículo, se asocia también a la acumulación de datos en repositorios, cuyo análisis mediante algoritmos propicia la toma de decisiones -sin que sea imprescindible la intervención humana-, generando procesos de transformación del trabajo, las organizaciones y la sociedad (Jones, 2019;Galliers et al, 2017).…”

“…A partir de las aportaciones de la literatura al respecto (Guirguis, 2020;Desouza et al, 2020;Keding, 2020;Susar y Aquaro, 2019;Ramió, 2019Ramió, y 2018Desouza, 2018), en el presente artículo se propone interpretar estos condicionantes en términos de componentes de la gobernanza de datos que es necesario atender para su desarrollo y vinculación con la IA. Los componentes destacados son:…”
