Abstract
PurposeBig data and predictive analytics (BDPA) has received great attention in terms of its role in making business decisions. However, current knowledge on BDPA regarding how it might link organizational capabilities and organizational performance (OP) remains unclear. Drawing from the resource-based view, the purpose of this paper is to propose a model to examine how information technology (IT) deployment (i.e. strategic IT flexibility, business–BDPA partnership and business–BDPA alignment) and HR capabilities affect OP through BDPA.Design/methodology/approachTo test the proposed hypotheses, structural equation modeling is applied on survey data collected from 159 Indian firms.FindingsThe results show that BDPA diffusion mediates the influence of IT deployment and HR capabilities on OP. In addition, there is a direct effect of IT deployment and HR capabilities on BDPA diffusion, which also has a direct relationship with OP.Originality/valueThrough this study, authors demonstrate that IT deployment and HR capabilities have an indirect impact on OP through BDPA diffusion.
