The Role of Decision Making in the Big Data Era

Résumé

We current live in an era, in which data heavily, constantly, and globally flows into all areas of our activities. This mobile world based on the Internet of Things and the concepts of Web 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, connects us at anytime with our conveniences and contacts, keeps our appointments up-to-date, feeds our information needs, influences our moods, guides our shopping tendencies, and informs us about businesses and opportunities in a way that most of the times it is difficult to manage, due to the massive amount of data involved. Time has come that individuals and mainly organizations have to tackle the problem of how to process large amounts of data in support of their respective needs and operations, aiming at improving their handling and response efficiency. Big Data gives birth to an era, which cannot count anymore with classical database tools to manage and analyze information data-sets. New methods and technologies are required to enable the decision maker to understand and examine the massive, multi-dimensional, multi-source, time varying information stream to make effective decisions, sometimes in time-critical situations. In this work the authors discuss the importance of having appropriate technologies for Decision Making and Decision Support Systems to exploit the potentiality of Big Data analysis, so that organizations can improve their productivity to face increased competition in this new Big Data-Driven Decision-Making era. The study behind this paper also addresses the problem of the current widespread data-centrism tendency for almost all applications requiring decision support, since not all of them have the answers to their problems based only on data.
