Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo investigar los factores cruciales para que las organizaciones adquieran los recursos y capacidades necesarios para extraer valor de big data. El estudio explora el impacto de la implementación de ecosistemas de big data en los procesos de gestión del conocimiento, los mecanismos de coordinación y control, y las variables de diseño organizacional a través de un estudio de caso seleccionado. Para la investigación, se adoptó un enfoque cualitativo, utilizando un diseño de estudio de caso, el enfoque más adecuado dada la naturaleza exploratoria de la investigación acorde a la literatura. La recopilación de datos involucró entrevistas en profundidad e información corporativa, con análisis realizados mediante un enfoque inductivo y codificación axial. Los hallazgos revelan una relación recíproca entre la implementación de ecosistemas de big data, los procesos de gestión del conocimiento y los mecanismos de coordinación y control. Además, el estudio de caso identifica variables mediadoras y moderadoras que influyen en esta relación. Esta investigación contribuye al cuerpo de conocimiento existente al abordar una brecha en la literatura. Mientras que estudios anteriores se han centrado en la relación entre los ecosistemas de big data y los procesos de gestión del conocimiento, este artículo destaca los cambios organizativos necesarios para la implementación de dichos ecosistemas que han sido pasados por alto. Se enfatiza la importancia de comprender cómo esta implementación afecta el diseño organizacional y arroja luz sobre las habilidades y capacidades necesarias para adoptar estas tecnologías. Este estudio de caso exploratorio sirve como una contribución valiosa para comprender las implicaciones más amplias de la implementación de ecosistemas de big data en las organizaciones.
