Knowledge Management and Big Data: Opportunities and Challenges for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME)

Abstract

Whenever a new technology is made available, it is worth finding possible uses in different domains. The advancement of information technologies now enables a wealth of information to be digitally collected and exploited for knowledge management and reused for further knowledge creation. Big data enables organizations to capitalize on large amounts of data by bringing together different sources of information to find trends and knowledge that are only visible with large amounts of data.

However, recent researchers have not responded to these two concepts of IS and knowledge risk in the uncertain business environment by considering the “people” and “processes” (Choi et al , 2021; Di Vaio et al , 2021; Shabbir and Gardezi, 2020).…”
