The minitrack aims to explore the business and societal transformations big data entail, and how they enable innovative ways of conducting business supporting rapid decision making with external stakeholders such as business partners, customers, public authorities, and citizens. To understand how big data can be of value requires an examination of the interplay between various factors (e.g., social, technical, economical, environmental), as well as the interrelation between different actors in a big data ecosystem (e.g., academia, private and public organisations, civil society, and individuals).

Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary papers that bridge the domains of organizational science, information systems strategic management, information science, marketing, and computer science. Despite the hype surrounding big data, the aforementioned predicaments still remain largely unexplored, severely hampering the business and societal benefits of big data analytics. This mini track aims to add in this direction and therefore welcomes quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods papers, as well as reviews, conceptual papers, and theory development papers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
