TITLE OF TALK: Assessing Big Data Analytics-enabled Dynamic Capabilities impact on Supply Chain agility and Competitive Advantage

ABSTRACT: In this talk, a model of big data analytics (BDA)-enabled dynamic capabilities impact on supply chain agility and competitive advantage is developed. To test the proposed research model, we administered a survey to 281 supply chain middle managers with at least three years’ experience in BDA project in the USA. XLSTAT was used for data analysis. To detect the homogeneity of users’ behavior, a response-based procedure for partial least squares embedded into XLSTAT package is used. Main results, implications for research and practice are discussed.
