Introduction: New ideas and concepts of big data have emerged in recent years in response to the astounding growth of data in many industries. Furthermore, the phenomenal increase in the use of the internet and social media has added enormous amounts of data to conventional data processing systems. Still, it has also created challenges for traditional data processing.Purpose: A significant characteristic of the insurance sector is critically dependent on information. This sector generates a great deal of structured and unstructured data, which traditional data processing techniques cannot handle. As compared to conventional insurance data processing and decision-making requirements, this lesson shows an analysis of data technology’s value additions.Research methodology: The author assesses the primary use of cases for data in the insurance industry via a case study analysis. From the perspective of the insurance sector, this chapter examines the concepts, technologies, and tools of big data. A few analytical reviews by the insurance company are also provided, which justified several gains gained either through inefficient processing of massive, diverse data sets or by supporting better decisions.Findings: This chapter demonstrates the importance of adopting new business models that allow insurers to move beyond understand and protect and become more predictive and preventative by using the tools and technologies of big data technology.

  • Zijun Mao + 3 more

BackgroundAs COVID-19 continues to spread globally, traditional emergency management measures are facing many practical limitations. The application of big data analysis technology provides an opportunity for local governments to conduct the COVID-19 epidemic emergency management more scientifically. The present study, based on emergency management lifecycle theory, includes a comprehensive analysis of the application framework of China’s SARS epidemic emergency management lacked the support of big data technology in 2003. In contrast, this study first proposes a more agile and efficient application framework, supported by big data technology, for the COVID-19 epidemic emergency management and then analyses the differences between the two frameworks.MethodsThis study takes Hainan Province, China as its case study by using a file content analysis and semistructured interviews to systematically comprehend the strategy and mechanism of Hainan’s application of big data technology in its COVID-19 epidemic emergency management.ResultsHainan Province adopted big data technology during the four stages, i.e., migration, preparedness, response, and recovery, of its COVID-19 epidemic emergency management. Hainan Province developed advanced big data management mechanisms and technologies for practical epidemic emergency management, thereby verifying the feasibility and value of the big data technology application framework we propose.ConclusionsThis study provides empirical evidence for certain aspects of the theory, mechanism, and technology for local governments in different countries and regions to apply, in a precise, agile, and evidence-based manner, big data technology in their formulations of comprehensive COVID-19 epidemic emergency management strategies.

  • Federica De Santis + 1 more

PurposeThis paper aims to give an integrated framework for analysing the main opportunities and threats related to the exploitation of Big Data (BD) technologies within intellectual capital (IC) management.Design/methodology/approachBy means of a structured literature review (SLR) of the extant literature on BD and IC, the study identified distinctive opportunities and challenges of BD technologies and related them to the traditional dimensions of IC.FindingsThe advent of BD has not radically changed the risks and opportunities of IC management already highlighted in previous literature. However, it has significantly amplified their magnitude and the speed with which they manifest themselves. Thus, a revision of the traditional managerial solutions needed to face them is required.Research limitations/implicationsThe developed framework can contribute to academic discourse on BD and IC as a starting point to understanding how BD can be turned into intangible assets from a value creation perspective.Practical implicationsThe framework can also represent a useful decision-making tool for practitioners in identifying and evaluating the main opportunities and threats of an investment in BD technologies for IC management.Originality/valueThe paper responds to the call for more research on the integration of BD discourse in the fourth stage of IC research. It intends to improve this understanding of how BD technologies can be exploited to create value from an IC perspective, focussing not only on the potential of BD for creating value but also on the challenges that it poses to organizations.

Understanding Base Stations' Behaviors and Activities with Big Data Analysis
  • Dec 1, 2018
  • Dingde Jiang + 2 more

This paper uses big data technologies to study base stations' behaviors and activities and their predictability in mobile cellular networks. With new technologies quickly appearing, current cellular networks have become more larger, more heterogeneous, and more complex. This provides network managements and designs with larger challenges. How to use network big data to capture cellular network behavior and activity patterns and perform accurate predictions is recently one of main problems. To the end, firstly we exploit big data platform and technologies to analyze cellular network big data, i.e. Call Detail Records (CDRs). Our CDRs data set, which includes more than 1000 cellular towers, more than million lines of CDRs, and several million users and sustains for more than 100 days, is collected from a national cellular network. Secondly, we propose our methodology to analyze these big data. The data pre-handling and cleaning approach is proposed to obtain the valuable big data sets for our further studies. The feature extraction and call predictability methods are presented to capture base stations' behaviors and dissect their predictability. Thirdly, based on our method, we perform the detailed activity pattern analysis, including call distributions, cross correlation features, call behavior patterns, and daily activities. The detailed analysis approaches are also proposed to dig out base stations' activities. A series of findings are found and observed in the analysis process. Finally, a study case is proposed to validate the predictability of base stations' behaviors and activities. Our studies demonstrates that big data technologies can indeed be utilized to effectively capture network behaviors and predict network activities so that they can help perform highly effective network managements.
