The internet has launched the world into an era into which enormous amounts of data aregenerated every day through technologies with both positive and negative consequences.This often refers to big data .

Big data is currently disrupting processes in most organisations – howdifferent organisations collaborate with one another, how organisations develop productsor services, how organisations can identify, recruit, and evaluate talent, how organisationscan make better decisions based on empirical evidence rather than intuition, and howorganisations can quickly implement any transformation plan, to name a few.All these processes are important to tap into, but two underlying processes are criticalto establish a foundation that will permit organisations to flourish and thrive in the era ofbig data – creating a culture more receptive to big data and implementing a systematic dataanalytics-driven process within the organisation.Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars incriminology, criminal justice, sociology, and cultural studies but also to governmentagencies, corporate and non-corporate organisations, or virtually any other institutionimpacted by big data.
