摘要：

Big data has the potential of offering valuable insights into the way organizations function, and it is changing theway organizations make decisions. Nine invited essays provide a wide range of perspectives on the role of big data in customer-driven supply chains, healthcare operations, retail operations, demand planning and manufacturing, environmental and social issues, humanitarian operations, agriculture supply chains, and service operations. Decision makers should have clean, valid, and reliable data, and they should have a thorough understanding of thecontexts of applications.
