- 7. Research purpose HowManagers see Big Data in retail supply chains • What it is and its perceived level of use? • Characteristics of firms implementing it. • What it is doing for them? • How well it is working? • What are the barriers and benefits achieved?
- 8. What is BigData? “The nearest to real-time as possible gathering, storage, analysis of, and decision-making based on large sets of both quantitative and qualitative data in structured (tabular) and unstructured formats” Implies four dimensions of Big Data: 1. Volume: large amounts in terms of bytes, 2. Variety: many forms of structured and unstructured data 3. Velocity: real-time creation and use of data, and 4. Veracity: trustworthy, relevant, and useful data.
- 9. What is (andis not) Big Data? What Big Data is Not • Simply demand forecasting • A lot of data in the ERP system (Small and Medium data) What Big Data is ….. • Comes from multiple traditional and non-traditional sources • Beyond B.I.- enables real-time decision making • New software platforms and technology (e.g. Hadoop, NoSQL)
- 10. Overall Finding BigData use in Retail SCs still elusive! Three States: Initiation Adoption Routinization Initial and some significant cases of use, but mostly using traditional, transactional data • Point of Sale (POS) and on-hand inventory data • Social media data but for marketing purposes only - better understanding of consumer preferences
- 11. Big Data: GoodNews As reported by firms in more advanced state (i.e. routinization) • More positive view of Big Data • Success in recognizing and overcoming challenges in implementation • Success in recognizing and overcoming integrating Big Data into planning and replenishment

- 13. Shifting Retail Landscapeand Role of BD • Being efficient and becoming more effective • Goal: right consumer, place, time, quality, condition and price • Task is much more difficult and complex • Consumer behavior: new level of whenever and wherever. • Demanding more of an Omni-channel experience • Enabling the SC to become more demand driven
- 14. Research Methodology Phase1 – Survey Questionnaires • 174 managers in retail supply chain firms • Identify factors that significantly contribute to, inhibit, and result from Big Data use • Derive insight regarding the state of Big Data use in firms positioned across retail supply chains Phase 2 – In-Depth Interviews • 18 senior supply chain managers • Obtain greater details regarding their Big Data use efforts
- 15. Factors that influenceBD adoption Knowing… Being able to… • Analyze data • Merge BD with traditional data • Establish data-sharing protocols • External integration with customers • Invest necessary resources • All sources of data • Questions to ask of data • What data to share • Possible benefits versus cost • Data trustworthiness • Supply-driven versus demand-driven supply chain
- 16. BD: Benefits andSuccess Factors Direct Benefits – Critical Success Factors • Improved quality of data • Increased demand and supply visibility both internally and across the SC • Re-designed shared inter-organizational processes • Significantly enhanced data analytic capabilities Strategic Benefits – Omni-Channel and Demand-Driven Supply Chains • Predictive analyses of consumer demand patterns • Advanced insights into procurement and distribution operations • Strategic questions to shape supply chains

- 22. Extent of BigData Use Dimensions • Routinization: Volume, Velocity, and Variety • Initiation: Veracity Types of Data • Use of transactional and environmental data significantly higher than consumer data • Firms are likely to be constrained and restricted to particular sources of data • Incorporating new sources of data remains an opportunity

- 36. Conclusions I CurrentConcept Ill-defined and under-explored by retail supply chain member firms Current Use Limited scope in terms of sources, formats, and applications Concurrent Use Collaboration, visibility, and integration
- 37. Conclusions II CautionBig data use is a double-edge sword Success is Not Easy New mindset and a business process design based around Big Data Substantial Rewards Firms at more advanced states of use are significantly outperforming their competitors Virtuous Innovation BD use is an innovation that may act as both a catalyst and a byproduct of success
