Introduction
With the acceleration of economic globalization, information is produced at an unprecedented speed. Big data analysis has drastically changed the landscape of information management, and its explosion is affecting the whole world. How to use big data effectively is the goal pursued by modern enterprises’ operation and management. The purpose of big data applications is to collect and analyze the enterprise’s existing and historical data and information to achieve future prediction, market situation assessment, and decision-making performance. The rise of big data is due to the popularization and technological maturity of software and hardware such as social media, mobile phones, sensors, and cloud computing. If enterprises can make good use of big data analysis, capture valuable information and convert it into business opportunities, big data can become the foundation for modern enterprises to formulate organizational operation modes and business strategies, and enterprises can better control and utilize their information assets to improve performance. Enterprises can import big data for information management and then improve their competitive advantage in the market. For example, the recent rise of passenger-carrying Uber uses big data analysis to improve people’s ride experience based on the destination and motivation of passengers. The global coffee shop chain Starbucks launched a mobile APP to collect data to understand customer information, from which it can find the most valuable potential customers for accurate marketing. The American NIKE sportswear brand can provide users with innovative products that combine wearable devices to collect sports data, as well as use big data analysis to gain insight into potential new athletes to act as brand spokespersons and then through their excellent performance in the event, quickly open up product awareness and stand on the market. As mentioned above, enterprises can quickly achieve competitive advantage by collecting a large amount of data and applying the data analysis results to enterprise information management and decision-making.
