Reviews

'Big data research methods have gained dramatic momentum in the world. Researchers and practitioners extend this line of research constantly by producing journals, posts, news articles and podcasts. However, there is a paucity of a book that covers descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive method based research papers under one umbrella. This is one of those books which will immerse a reader in the past, present and future of big data analytics methods. It is an exceptional book that is grounded in evidence and meaningful to practice.' -- Yogesh K. Dwivedi, Swansea University, UK
