Preface“Where there’s data smoke, there’s business fire.”―Thomas C. RedmanData-Driven: Profiting from Your Most Important Business AssetIn recent years, significant investments have been made in companies’ infrastructure to increase their data collection capacity. Practically, all aspectsof a business are now open to data collection: operations, manufacturing,supply chain management, customer behavior, the performance of marketingcampaigns, flow management procedures, etc.Simultaneously, data about events outside the company, such as markettrends, company news, and competitors’ activities, is now widely available.This data availability has sparked a growing interest in methods of extractinguseful information and knowledge from data: the field of “big data analytics.”Big data and data analytics are being adopted more frequently, especiallyin companies looking for new methods to develop smarter capabilities andtackle challenges in the dynamic processes. The possible uses of big dataanalytics are numerous and cross-sector. With the vast amounts of data available today, companies in every sector are now focusing on harnessing data tocreate a new way of doing business.The current discussion about this field, which is often referred to as revolutionary, can be described using W. Edwards Deming’s description:Data are not taken for museum purposes; they are taken as a basis fordoing something. If nothing is to be done with the data, then there is nouse in collecting any. The ultimate purpose of taking data is to provide abasis for action or a recommendation for action. The step intermediatebetween the collection of data and the action is prediction.In addition, due to big data analytics’ cross-business application scenarios,several specific business concepts are also affected. The analysis, therefore,focuses on both technical and organizational aspects of big data tools andtechnologies.Therefore, the challenges of the current business playground requirea radical change in the manner of exploring the potential associated with

xviiiPrefacedata for creating value, which presents a pillar of business sustainabilitynowadays.In this context, the 4th National Conference on “Big Data Analytics:Harnessing Data for New Business Models” (BDA2019) aimed to providea forum for researchers alike to exchange the latest fundamental advancesin the big data field and its best practices, and as well as emerging researchtopics that would define the future of big data applications in the businesscontext.BDA2019 emerged as an outcome of several research results from Algerian academics to provide relevant lessons learned from specific data usesthat generate value in the business context. During the 1st and 2nd of October2019, at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Khemis Miliana,Algeria, we have celebrated and shared the knowledge on this exciting field.In these two special days, the BDA2019 has provided researchers, academics,and experts an opportunity to exchange and share their research experiencesand results and deepen the debate on data-driven value creation.This conference aimed to work out possible potentials based on a basicintroduction to big data analytics, before the main sections dealt in detail withthe challenges relating to this innovative technology, its diverse applicationsin the business context, how this technology enhances the decision-makingprocess, and how it contributes to achieving the sustainable developmentgoals.But the raised exciting question of BDA2019 was the application of theadvanced tools and technologies of this emerging field and its evidentialvalue within businesses around the world. The question is whether businesses accross the world will adapt to this paradigm or whether the big datacan be integrated into the architecture of global business.This book gathers selected works related to big data applications inseveral areas, focusing on the diverse points discussed during these two business days. Throughout this book’s four parts, we will detail various subjectsand techniques relating to big data analytics and its applications.We hope this book can encourage more engaging research at national andinternational levels on the big data applications in the business context. Wewish you an exciting and stimulating reading and formulate the necessarybases to resolve big data dilemmas in business practice!—Editors

PART IBig Data: Opportunities and Challenges

CHAPTER 1Big Data: An OverviewMALIKA BAKDI1 and WASSILA CHADLI2Senior Researcher, National High School of Statistics and AppliedEconomics (ENSSEA), Koléa, Algeria, E-mail: bakdi malika@yahoo.fr1National High School of Statistics and Applied Economics (ENSSEA),Koléa, Algeria, E-mail: chadli.wassila@outlook.com2ABSTRACTThis chapter focuses on a new trend to process and analyze large data, i.e.,big data. It has become an imperative approach, particularly with the massiveoutbreak of data on the Internet (videos, photos, messages, social networks,e-commerce transactions, etc.) and the large diffusion use of connectedobjects (smartphones and tablets). In this research, we attempt to representthe big data phenomenon’s designs, architectures, and applications.1.1INTRODUCTIONData and algorithms shape a new world that consists of a form of culminationfor computing and, more precisely, a new way of controlling information.With more than 95% of the world’s data set having been created in recentyears, it is important to know that it is not the one who has the best algorithmwins, but the one who has more data; and it is not just any type of data, butonly the reliable data that are counted. As a result, a large amount of data willbe accumulated as we have algorithms that work very efficiently based onthe data we process.Thus, the major problem with this large amount of data is that itbecomes very difficult to work with, especially with the traditional databaseprocessing tools [4]. Today, companies are facing an exponential increase in

4Big Data Analytics: Harnessing Data for New Business Modelsdata volume. To give us a more precise idea, we can attain several petabytes(10)15, see even zettabytes (10)21.As expected, the amount of data created and managed has grownexponentially over the past few years. Hence, we can imagine how hugethe amount of data that will be created in the future years, as data can beacquired from logs, social media, e-commerce transactions (the data are of adiverse nature), etc. Undoubtedly, many companies want to take advantageof this data – whether data collected by themselves or public data such asthe web or open data. As a result, traditional technologies are not designedto process with a massive data explosion, and therefore thanks to big data,where the exponential growth of data can be processed.In this work, we present theoretical research about big data. It should bementioned that 2012 was the year of the big data buzz when the notion waspopularized; this means that companies are dealing with an amount volumeof data to be processed, which presents a technical and economic challenge.The objective of the present work is to answer the following questions:what is big data? Why are we interested in big data? In addition, what is therevolutionary technology adopted by big data?1.2BIG DATA: CONCEPT AND DEFINITIONCertainly, in the explanation of big data, a lot has been said about the volume,which is one of the very important aspects of the clarification of the bigdata concept. Thus, a classic definition has been proposed by Gartner, whichimplies three dimensions (as shown in Figure 1.1).FIGURE 1.1 The three V’s of big data.Source: Authors’ creation.

Big Data: An Overview5The first one is about volume: it is the massive explosion of data thatrequires their processing and analysis. The second dimension is variety,which corresponds to the difficulty of processing and analyzing data, butmore precisely, crossing the new data sources in an effective way that ismore diverse and from multiple nature. Thus, the variety distinguishes bigdata from traditional data analysis. Indeed, big data analyzes data sets fromdifferent sources [8]. The third dimension is the velocity, which correspondsto the speed with which they are generated, processed, and stored.It is clear that individuals and companies are great data generators in avery short time, but there is a shifted time between their processing and theirgeneration. The coming of big data technology makes the job easier, thusgiving us the advantage of processing data while it is being generated.Subsequently, the explanation of big data does not focus exclusively onthese three dimensions, as IBM has added two other dimensions to properlytarget the explanation, which are veracity and value. Veracity is the abilityto have reliable data; for example, the generation of data by spambot is anexample worthy of confidence. Another example is that of Mexico, wherethe presidential elections were made by a fake Twitter account.The fifth is the value, having an equivalent meaning that the big dataapproach only makes sense to achieve strategic objectives related toindividuals and the company, for the purpose of creating an added value,regardless of the field of activity. Thus, the success of a big data project islargely correlated by the creation of added value a
