碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 國際創業與經營管理學程碩士在職專班 === 103 === The term “Big Data” is a commonly used buzzword these days. In this new era
of Industry 4.0, an increasing number of companies become Internet savvy, and
recognize how Big Data and the related data science leads to competitive advantage.
Ever since the recession years following the 2008-2009 Financial Crisis, small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) have been regarded as the booster of employment and
economic growth. The role of SMEs became especially important as the growth of
industry leader giants slowed down. The unprecedented industry growth in the era of
Industry 4.0 offers the biggest growth opportunity of or time for many companies.
The key success factor for SMEs is to learn how to maximize the benefits and take
advantage of what data science has to offer.
As the size of the middle class grows due to globalization in the developing
countries, companies must recognize how essential it is for their survival to meet the
needs of this new society. Gathering and analyzing data about people around the
World to understand and predict consumer behavior and to better serve people’s
needs is crucial, not only for the reasons of maximizing company revenue and
ensuring competitive advantage, but also, to allow our society to use scarce natural
resources wisely.
Retailers have been traditionally concentrating on Omni-channel strategies.
When it comes to understanding the in-store and cross-channel behavior, however,
retailers have a long way to go.
This paper can help SMEs in several ways to take advantage of this
opportunity.
First, the paper provides an overview of the landscape of Big Data and the
importance of Data Analytics for the retail industry. After defining the main
concepts, the thesis provides case studies of successful data analytics applications by
retail industry leaders. This is followed by the identification of some of the major
data analytics service providers and the explanation of how these companies could
be beneficial for SMEs. Furthermore, the paper provides practical advice on what
factors to consider and how to decide on the right Big Data solution and Data
Analytics partner.
