The effect of big data on decision quality: Evidence from telecommunication industry

Abstract

The aim of the research is to test the impact of big data on the quality of decision making. The necessary data was collected from telecommunication companies operating in Jordan. Three companies provide telecommunications services in Jordan: Zain, Umniah, and Orange. Non-probability purposive sampling was used. Hence, the study instrument was distributed to managers at the senior and middle levels of these companies. The structured equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed to test the study hypotheses. The results confirmed that big data impacts decision quality. Besides, it was determined that the highest impact was on velocity. The researchers suggest that Jordanian telecom companies invest in information technology that allows them to provide data with accuracy, reliability, and high quality, as well as improve the qualifications of their employees.

Maturity and Value of Big Data in the Telecommunications Sector in the Republic of Yemen from the Prospective of Information Technology Professionals

“…The third question: Is there a relationship between the maturity of big data and the value of big data for information technology specialists in the telecommunications sector in the Republic of Yemen? 1-Testing the relationships between the axes and the two scales: Using the Pearson correlation coefficient between all the axes with each other and each of the Big Data Maturity Scale and the Big Data Value Scale, it was found that there is a positive and statistically significant direct relationship between the two scales and all axes, at a significance level of less than 0.05, as shown in the following table: Table (4) shows the correlation between each of the dimensions of the independent variable (maturity of big data) with the dimensions of the dependent variable (the value of big data). In general, there was a positive and statistically significant direct correlation between the variables and dimensions, at a level of significance not less than (0.05).…”

The effect of digital supply chain on lean manufacturing: A structural equation modelling approach

“…Because digital supply chains employ tools of great value that help organizations mitigate wastage in manufacturing processes. Several previous studies confirmed that there is a gap in studies examining the relationship between digital transformation technologies and the application of lean manufacturing strategies in industrial companies (Gjeldum et al, 2016;Kolberg et al, 2017;Al-Alwan et al, 2022;Landscheidt & Kans, 2016). Accordingly, the study hypothesis can be formulated as follows:…”

“…Digital transformation refers to "the increasing prevalence of digital technologies in society and the associated changes in people's communication and behaviour" (Gimpel et al, 2018). It creates new opportunities for organizations and supply chain practices (Al-Alwan et al, 2022;Tariqa et al, 2022a;Eldahamsheh et al, 2021). The fourth-generation industrial revolution through digital transformation allows organizations to achieve high flexibility when formulating their supply chain strategies and practices, thus creating greater organizational value (Tariq et al, 2022b;Büyüközkan and Göçer 2018).…”

Barriers to adopt industry 4.0 in supply chains using interpretive structural modeling

“…Since digitization is an important component of the success of supply chains in the current business environment, companies seek to adopt and use industry 4.0 technologies. But before that, barriers of adopting Industry 4.0 technologies must be explored (Al-Alwan et al, 2022;Fernando et al, 2022). According to Raj et al (2020), investigating the barriers of Industry 4.0 adoption and implementation is still uncultivated in the literature.…”
