Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics in the development and use of new, innovative technologies based on big data as they allow companies to expand their range of services, using large amounts of data, which in turn enables them to obtain economic benefits. Big data is often used as a tool for undertaking managerial tactical decisions rather than strategic. Using the practices of a Kazakh telecommunications company as an example, this study demonstrates how the potential of big data is limited to the decision-making tool and suggests how big data technology can improve the efficiency of the strategic management.
