Abstract: Enterprises are currently collecting enormous amounts of data. The proliferation of social medial, mobile devices and sensor technologies are exploding the amount of data that is generated and collected each day. The capturing, storing and analysing this sea of data is becoming a challenge in most organisations. Yet those who manage to tame and make sense of this data can create enormous business value. This presentation will explore ?big data? and discuss the opportunities for creating competitive advantage through new business model innovation. The opportunities for careers in this new and emerging field will also be discussed.
