HYPOTHESIS AND RESEARCH DESIGN 2
Hypothesis:
H1: Organizational productivity is positively impacted by the use of big data analytics assets.
Big data analytics creates business value by creating a conceptual link between organizational
one of the first-order effects of big data analytics is its ability to improve decision making which
analytics gains strength based on information theory. Big data makes information for
organizations greater and right in volumes, fine-grained, better distributed, and less noisy to be
utilized by managers in the decision-making process. Big data analytics also make it better for
managers to plan for data, transfer it from point of origin to the decision-making point.
Collectively, technology improves data collection and distribution improving the quality of
decision making.
H2: IT-intensive firms extract the best value of big data analytics resources than other firms in
argument is grounded on the fact that profitable organizations but incorporate innovation and
other capable assets in almost all cases. For instance, CRM enables businesses to visualize large
datasets or build predictive models as they act as their data sources. Taken together, evidence
given by Tambe (2014) suggests that businesses with low availability of IT intensity face
The research will be based on a qualitative research design because the design generates a
well-positioned hypothesis and can be used to interpret and curate big data eliminating
redundancy claims. According to Gibson (2002), qualitative research takes the central form of
data whether they are primary documents, interview transcripts, observations, or notes. The
methodology includes a diverse array with distinctive strengths since it is not homogenous or
monotheistic. This is suitable for the research because it prompts participatory action (Bassett,
2015). Since the rise of the internet, the researcher can also make great use of relevant text data
across a broad range of models in books, legislations, social media content, images, and archives.
This will also be combined with review analysis of previous interviews, ethnographic
observations, and focus groups available online. Therefore, the research was based on a design
that depended on the number of study population factors. The study conducts a survey based on
Variables
Organizational performance was taken to be the ordinal variable in the study. Some of the
factors under this include the number of employees, uncertainty of the external environment,
change. On the other side, independent variables will be broadly organized into three. Namely,
data visualization and presentation tools, machine learning solutions, and foundational database
both on the cloud and in the premise. This is designed to handle unstructured data such as social
media data. Machine learning solutions include unsupervised algorithms for predictive analysis,
social media analysis, and text mining. Visualization deals with intelligence or self-service
Sampling plan
Non-random sampling will be used in this study. Due to the nature of the research, we
may experience difficulties ensuring that the sample is large enough to allow desegregated
analysis. Thus, we reduced the sample to a selection bias by selecting study participants from the
current company and nearby companies using IT, either intensively or less intensively in the
Data collection
A questionnaire was used to collect data for this study. Questionnaires will be sent via
email to the selected participants and will be completed anonymously. The tool will attempt to
gather information related to how big data analytics have been helpful in creating business value
and how intensity in IT has facilitated the process. Since the questionnaire will be administered
online, awareness of the MBM controls and BYOD policy on mobile devices is enacted.
Analysis of data
Results from the 50 questionnaires shared and received via email will be analyzed by the
researcher manually. Primarily, the computer will be used to record and score the analyzed
responses. When analyzing the data, we will try to research the employee and the organization to
assess if other factors such as employee harassment may have influenced their responses. The
Limitations
While understanding the evaluation approach, certain limitations impact the research
evaluating complex programs is unavailable to define the experimental designs. There are
sample design problems when ensuring that the sample is large enough. In terms of data
collection, it was difficult to reach the right person because we had to incorporate other forms of
research to assess participant's other characteristics such as behavioral change. This impacted the
