Keywords:
Big Data, Corporate governance, Decision Support, Operational Efficiency, Predictive AnalyticsAbstract
This study explores the transformative role of big data-driven Decision Support Systems (DSS) in global digital enterprises, particularly focusing on their impact on operational efficiency and corporate governance. By leveraging big data analytics, DSS offer organizations the tools to process vast amounts of real-time data, enabling executives to make more informed decisions that optimize resources, improve productivity, and reduce operational costs. The research highlights the integration of predictive analytics, machine learning, and real-time data processing within DSS, which allows businesses to gain strategic insights and anticipate market trends. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significant role of DSS in enhancing corporate governance, improving transparency, accountability, and compliance with regulations. These systems foster better decision-making processes, which contribute to building trust among stakeholders and ensuring long-term organizational success. However, the study also identifies several challenges in implementing big data-driven DSS, including data management complexities, technological integration difficulties, and the need for skilled personnel. Despite these challenges, the findings demonstrate that big data-driven DSS are pivotal in driving competitive advantage, operational optimization, and governance improvements. The research concludes with actionable recommendations for executives to adopt and implement big data-driven DSS, emphasizing the importance of continuous support, training, and system integration. The study also suggests future research directions, including exploring the integration of emerging technologies like AI and IoT into DSS and assessing their long-term impact on sustainability and corporate governance.
