Positioning big data analytics capabilities towards financial service agility

Abstract

PurposeEnterprises are increasingly taking actionable steps to transform existing business models through digital technologies for service transformation such as big data analytics (BDA). BDA capabilities offer financial institutions to source financial data, analyse data, insight and store such data and information on collaborative platforms for a quick decision-making process. Accordingly, this study identifies how BDA capabilities can be deployed to provide significant improvement for financial services agility.Design/methodology/approachThe study relied on survey data from 485 banking professionals' perspectives with BDA usage, IT capability development and financial service agility. The PLS-SEM technique was used to evaluate the underlying relationship and the applicability of the research framework proposed.FindingsBased on the empirical test from this study, distinctive BDA usage grounded on the concept of IT capability viewpoint proof that financial service agility could be enhanced provided enterprises develop technical capabilities alongside other relevant resources.Practical implicationsThe study further highlights the need for financial service managers to identify BDA technologies such as data mining, query and reporting, data visualisation, predictive modelling, streaming analytics, video analytics and voice analytics to focus on financial knowledge gathering and market observation. Financial managers can also deploy BDA tools to develop a strategic road map for data management, data transferability and knowledge discovery for customised financial products.Originality/valueThis study is a useful contribution to the burgeoning discussion with emerging technologies such as BDA implication to improving enterprises operations.

Intellectual capital and innovation performance: the moderating role of big data analytics: evidence from the banking sector in Jordan

“…With rapid technological changes and the continuous growth of digital transformation initiatives worldwide, the banking industry has become more exposed to change than ever before (Al-Omoush et al. , 2019; Edu, 2022; Yaseen and El Qirem, 2018). Banks have increasingly begun using technology to provide financial services (Filotto et al , 2021) and interact with customers (Kothari and Seetharaman, 2020).…”

Examining how and when digital platform capabilities drive technological innovation: a strategic information perspective

“…, 2019). Based on the strategic needs of the enterprise, the enterprise can obtain more in-depth strategic information about the market, government and consumers through digital technology, which enables the enterprise to have a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the market environment, thus improving the enterprise's ability to understand the market needs and take advantage of potential opportunities (Edu, 2022; Pagani and Pardo, 2017). Moreover, in enterprise practice, more and more enterprises are actively investing in digital technology and digital platforms to optimize information processing processes such as information acquisition, network analysis and digital engines (Kim et al.…”

“…Of course, the DPC also emphasizes the enterprise's behavior orientation of obtaining valuable strategic information from partners, competitors and other stakeholders based on the strategic development needs, using digital technology, network connectivity and data science (Cenamor et al, 2019). Based on the strategic needs of the enterprise, the enterprise can obtain more in-depth strategic information about the market, government and consumers through digital technology, which enables the enterprise to have a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the market environment, thus improving the enterprise's ability to understand the market needs and take advantage of potential opportunities (Edu, 2022;Pagani and Pardo, 2017). Moreover, in enterprise practice, more and more enterprises are actively investing in digital technology and digital platforms to optimize information processing processes such as information acquisition, network analysis and digital engines (Kim et al, 2012) because they regarded that the enhancement of DPC can realize the generation of high-quality information resources (Ravichandran, 2017).…”

The influence of big data analytic capabilities building and education on business model innovation

“…Big data has revolutionized old business models ( McAfee et al, 2012 ). The main premise big data analytics builds on is that by analyzing large amounts of data from multiple sources, actionable insights can be extracted that can help businesses achieve an edge over rivals ( Chen et al, 2012 ; Behl et al, 2022 ; Edu, 2022 ). Big data can provide valuable information ( Hofacker et al, 2016 ) and provide competitive advantages ( Morabito, 2015 ).…”
