Hello fellow bloggers, Sophie here again! Today  I will discuss three Ethical and Social Challenges of Big Data which I feel are important with the usage of Big Data and how it affects consumers and companies:   The lack of experienced Professionals: The first ethical and social challenge that I will discuss is how companies fail with their Big Data by lacking inexperienced workers to run their IT systems and large data implements.

Companies could also...

Welcome back fellow bloggers, its your favourite blogger Sophie back again. This week we will look at an interesting topic. Many companies often struggle with Information Systems implementations and often look into new trends in technology to keep relevant and competitive and there are numerous reasons why they might face challenges during this process. Training employees can be time-consuming If companies spend weeks training employees on how to use Information Systems, employees cannot focus on their full-time career leading to loss in productivity from staff which causes low morale amongst the company putting it at risk.
