Creazione di dati digitali (Digital Data Genesis) Capacità dinamica e sistemi informativi

This report is an output of a research project co-financed by Grenoble Ecole de Management and Rhône Alpes French region. This study was conducted with the aim of understanding how Information Technology (IT) provides new opportunities to firms, specifically focusing on the role that such solutions play in the process and usage of digital data. Digital data are the focus of this project since data can provide new opportunities for firms: they have become a torrent flowing into every area of the global economy. In such a context, companies may have to deal with a high volume of transactional data, capturing trillions of bytes of information about their customers, suppliers, and operations. Millions of sensors are embedded in the physical world in devices such as mobile phones, smart energy meters, automobiles, and industrial machines that sense, create and communicate data in the "digitalized" age. Therefore, there is the need of understanding whether companies are ready for extracting value from digital data and for figuring out the more favorable conditions under which this happens.
