Theme: *Managing Big Data and Decision Making in a New Global Economy*

*About the Conference*

With the advent of the era of big data, how to manage the data becomes a 
serious problem in the business world. Many companies have large amounts 
of data but struggle to analyze them to get the most benefit. A recent 
study by Gartner Research indicates that less than five percent of 
e-commerce companies use big data or predictive analytic software. 
Typically, only the biggest companies such asAmazon.com, China's Alibaba 
and Japan's Rakuten are serious about putting in the money to make this 
happen. Currently, most of the data is only used to identify trends and 
increase sales by driving more customers to their online stores. As such 
there are great opportunities for academics to analyze the data in 
different ways to extract information useful to companies to improve 
their competitive position.

With the rapid development of the Chinese economy in recent years, a 
large number of enterprises with extraordinary vitality have emerged 
such as Huawei, Alibaba, and Baidu. These enterprises have grown because 
they draw on the outstanding experience of foreign enterprises but at 
the same time they engrave deeply the characteristics of Chinese culture 
into the business model. To understand the success of these emerging 
Chinese enterprises better, we need to develop a new research perspective.

The objective of the conference is not only to promote the development 
of theory and technology in the field of decision sciences but also 
create an excellent academic platform for international scholars to 
exchange research ideas.
