Abstract

The ability to manage Big Data (BD) is regarded as the main driving force behind organization’s development, as well as maintaining its place in the market and of its innovative success. However, when we look on the number of organizations that actually use BD, it is relatively limited for the moment. It is mainly a lack of appropriate approaches, methods and tools targeted at the use of BD, but above all, there is a low level of knowledge about the importance of BD for business. This paper: (i) provides an overview of the context of BD in contemporary business; (ii) discusses the key concepts which underlay the concept of BD, (iii) examines selected methods and tools which are available for BD analysis. Based on the above, the paper then uses the job portals for the ICT market as a case to propose and to demonstrate a specific approach for BD analysis. The results from this study may be valuable for academics and ICT professionals, who search for appropriate methods and tools to manage job portals. This study provides also a value for employees who want to better know about the requirements and needs of the ICT job market as well as for employers who want to recruit more well-oriented candidates.
