Title of Special Issue: In (Big) Data we trust: Value Creation in Knowledge Organizations
Journal: Information Processing & Management, Elsevier

Companies are being forced to reconsider the role of data and analytical capabilities in decision making, innovation management, market research, operations management and many more vital aspects (McAfee, Brynjolfsson, Davenport, Patil, & Barton, 2012; Wamba et al. 2015). Those who have been more intentional in the use of Big Data, have shown to be more productive than their industry peers (Bughin, 2016). The tumultuous development of Big Data Analytics is not always accompanied by a controlled evolution of business processes and organizational structure and this prevents from leveraging the full potential of the advances (Pearson & Wegener, 2013). In other words, technology is making society change at a speed that companies struggle to follow and there is still lack of clarity on the complex set of drivers and inhibitors of effective value creation through Big Data utilization in contemporary firms (Davenport, 2014).

The contributions we would like to collect as part of this special issue will form a coherent set of stimuli for both scholars and professionals who want to crystallize the multiple ways Big Data is impacting the way business is done, and how value is created and captured.

The expected contributions should address the topics indicated in the following non-exhaustive list:

- Big Data Analytics as Value Driver: Which specific aspects within data management, data transformation and data utilization drive (or drain) value for companies? Can the value of data be monetized, tracked and considered for financial accounting?
- Human Resources Management Implications: How can firms develop and retain professional expertise in the domain of Big Data and what is the definition of “analytical excellence” companies should aim at? How should the organizational structure be transformed due to the new paradigms of data-based decision making?
- Evolution of Leadership: What do leaders need now more than in the past as data acquires a central role in the way decisions are made? How can the presence of Big Data steer strategic choices? How is the definition of “power” changing within organizations?
- Strategic implications: Which types of business and revenue models are needed to create and capture value from Big Data in companies? What types of inter-organizational networks, platforms, and ecosystems become important?
- Big Data Controversies: What is the real balance of benefits versus risks when adopting highly data-reliant business models? How to respond to the worrying aspects of Big Data for employees, customers, suppliers and stakeholder, such as privacy and extreme de-humanization of business?

The critical questions above have attracted strong interest over the last few months and a special issue on this topic published over the next 18 months will pave the way to a more rigorous development of Big Data strategies in companies and a more robust and organized stream of future business research within this domain.
