Big data is a buzzword in today's world, used to describe the exponential growth and availability of data, both structured and unstructured. In this decade, big data will be as important to business and society as the Internet was in the last decade, because of the simple reason that more data may lead to more accurate analyses.

The real issue is not only to acquire large amounts of data but for the vision of the organisations to harness relevant data and analyse it to develop the business strategy.

This special issue is dedicated to big data management and development of business strategy. In other words, it is to use big data to find answers to the problems of 1) cost reductions, 2) time reductions, 3) new product development and optimised offerings, and 4) smarter business decision making.
