Abstract:
The nature of business computing is changing due to the proliferation of massive data sets referred to as big data, that can be used to produce business analytics (Borkar, Carey, & Li, 2012). This annotated bibliography presents literature published between 2000 and 2012. It provides information to CIOs and CTOs about big data by: (a) identifying business examples, (b) describing the relationship to data-intensive computing, (c) exploring opportunities and limitations, and (d) identifying cost factors.
