A preliminary systematic performanceon critical success factors categories for big data analytics

Abstract

Big Data could be used in any industry to make effective data-driven decisions. The successful implementation of Big Data projects requires a combination of innovative technological, organizational, and processing approaches. Over the last decade, the research on Critical Success Factors (CSFs) within Big Data has developed rapidly but the number of available publications is still at a low level. Developing an understandingof the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and their categoriesare essential to support management in making effective data-driven decisions which could increase their returns on investments.There islimited research conducted on the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of Big DataAnalytics (BDA) development and implementation.This paper aims to provide more understanding about the availableCritical Success Factors (CSFs) categoriesfor Big Data Analytics implementation and answer the research question (RQ) “What are the existing categories of Critical Success Factors for Big Data Analytics”.Based on a preliminary Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for the available publications related to Big Data CSFs and their categories in the last twelve years (2007-2019),this paper identifiesfive categoriesfor Big Data AnalyticsCritical Success Factors(CSFs), namelyOrganization, People, Technology, Data Management, and Governance categories.
