The era of Big Data analytcs (BDA) has begun in most industries withindeveloping and developed countries This new analytics tool has raisedmotivaton for experts and researchers to study its impacts to businessvalues and challenges However, there is shortage of studies which evaluatethe applicatons of BDA under business view and help to understandcustomers’ views towards the applicatons of Big Data analytic This researchaims to (1) draw on a systematic review of the literature about definiton,distnctve characteristics, business values and challenges of a company whenapplying Big Data analytics, (2) explore and determine the pros and cons ofapplying Big Data analytics that affects customers’ responses in an e-commerce environment, (3) evaluate the mediaton effect ofperceived value’s dimensions and perceived risk, (4) determine themoderation effect of trust propensity Data analyses were conducted by usingthe statistcal package for social sciences and analysis of moment structuressoftware in useful sample of 349 respondents in Vietnam Two aspects asbusiness and customer views are reviewed, explored, discussed in this study
Trang 5IV IV
The major findings include:
(1) The study synthesized diverse BDA concepts that provide deeperinsight about applicaton of BDA for e-commerce firms It is highlight thatthe increase in interest related to BDA in e-commerce in recent years BDAapplicatons in e-commerce can be divided into five aspects like as creatngtransparency, discovering needs and improving performance, segmentngmarket, better decision making, new product or business model innovation.These applicatons bring many business values but also raise some challengeswhen e-firms want to apply BDA
(2) The findings found that information search, recommendationsystem, dynamic pricing, and customer services had different significantpositive effects on customers’ responses Specifically, information searchhad a highest significant influence on customers’ intention andimproved customers’ behavior Following by dynamic pricing,recommendation system and customers’ service also had significant impact
on customers’ intention but decreased customers’ behavior On anotherhand, privacy and security, shopping addiction, and group influences werefound to have different significant negative effects on customers’ responses.Specifically, shopping addiction had a drastic change from intenton tobehavior compared to group influences and privacy and security Itcannot be denied that customers receive positve and negatve factors atthe same time
(3) The results confirmed that functonal and emotional values playmediating roles between positve of applying BDA and consumers’ responses.However, there weren’t significant different between mediator effect offunctional value and emotonal value This finding highlights the notificatonthat customers nowadays not only find their products or services but alsoseek enjoyment when online shopping under Big Data era Therefore, e-firms should increase perceived value based on creasing equally functonaland emotional values
Trang 6V V
(4) The study found out that perceived risk don’t act mediate therelatonship between negative of applying BDA and consumers’ responses.Besides, customers’ trust propensity was found to moderate the relation ofnegative factor of applying BDA to customers’ responses and perceived risk
to customers’ responses High trust propensity partcipants reported strongerresponses than those with low trust propensity It due to customers’ trust onnew applications of BDA, hence, it is easy to influence on customers as theirnegative response when negative factor and perceived risk are rising
This study contributes to improve understanding of applicatons of BigData Analytics under business view and customer view This could play animportant role to develop sustainable consumers market E-vendors canrely on Big Data analytics but over usage may have some negatveapplicatons Besides that, the research also broader discussion regardingfuture research opportunites, challenges in theory and practice

Trang 21CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION1.1 Background of the Study
With increasing advancement of internet technology, increasingamounts of data are streaming into contemporary organizatons Data isgetting bigger and more complicated because it is contnuing to be generatedfrom many devices and more sources as mobile phones, personal computers,government records, healthcare records, social media, etc An InternationalData Cooperation report estimated that the world would generate 1.8zettabytes of data (1.8 × 1021 bytes) by 2011 (Gantz and Reinsel, 2011) By
2020, this figure will grow up to 35 zettabytes or more The Big Data era hasarrived Why do researchers and practitioners be interested inunderstanding about the impacts of Big Data analytics? The simple reply
to this critcal queston is because Big Data enables to bring potentialapplicatons Big Data applications can help organizations; the governmentpredicted the unemployment rate, the future trend for professionalinvestors, or cut spending, stmulates economic growth, etc For healthcare, Big Data can help to predict impact trend of a certain disease One ofthe most conspicuous examples of Big Data for health care is Google FluTrend (GFT) In 2009, Google has used Big Data to analyze and predict trendsinfluence, spread of H1N1 flu Trend which Google drawn from the searchkeywords related to the H1N1 has been proven to be very close to the resultsfrom flu independent warning system Sentinel GP and Health Statistcslaunched The GFT program was designed to provide real-timemonitoring of flu cases around the world based on Google searches thatmatch terms for flu related actvity For e-commerce firms, the inject Big Dataanalytics into their value chain value 5-6% higher productvity than theircompettors (McAfee et al.,
2012)
Trang 22Each industry moves a step closer into understanding the world of BigData from how it is being applied to solve a lot of our problems Mostindustries are stll estimating whether there is value in implementation of BigData, while some industries have applied Big Data analytics already Thereare applicatons of Big Data in top ten industry verticals as banking &securities, communicatons, media& entertainment, healthcare providers,healthcare providers, education, manufacturing & natural resources,government, insurance, retail & wholesale trade, transportation, energy andutlities Even though, Big Data specific challenges will have to face but it is
to be noted that Big Data implementaton has been encountered by theindustries in these sectors
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The activity of retailing and wholesaling shapes both our economy aswell as our daily life Consumers and businesses buy products and servicesevery according to their needs and preference The retail and wholesalesectors contribute significantly in natonal economy In today competitveand complex business world, the company needs to rely on the data-
Trang 233structured and new type of data-unstructured or semi-structured to back
up their decisions
Trang 24BDA can bring benefits for e-vendors by improving market transaction costefficiency (e.g buyer-seller transaction online), managerial transaction costefficiency (e.g process efficiency) and time cost efficiency DBA alsoenables e-commerce firms to use data more efficiently, driver a higherconversion rate, improve decision making and empower customers.However, DBA is new method for e-commerce vendors Therefore, they have
to face some challenges when applying BDA
In additon, an increasing amount of published artcles or books hasfocuses on DBA applicatons in e-commerce in recent years However, theliterature stll remains largely anecdotal and fragmented The research whichprovides dimensions and applications of Big Data analytics in e-commerceare limited Therefore, this research is to identify different conceptualdimensions of Big Data analytics in e-commerce and their relevance to itscharacteristics, different type of data and state business value andchallenges From there, it can help the e-commerce enterprises enhancedbusiness value and better respond to challenges of BDA applicatons
Furthermore, Big Data analytcs applicatons were used in manyindustries Specifically, Big Data enables merchants to track each user’sbehavior and connect the dots to determine the most effective ways toconvert one-time customers into repeat customers in the e-commercecontext Hence, the studies which determine the positve and negative ofapplying BDA and evaluate the customers’ responses under Big Data era areneeded
1.3 Objectves of the Study
Although an increasing amount of published materials has focused onpracttioners in this domain But it remains largely fragmented There is apaucity of research that provides a general taxonomy from which toexplore the dimensions and applicatons of big data analytics in e-commerce.This research intends to provide a thorough presentaton of the conceptual
Trang 255dimensions of big data in e-commerce and their relevance to businessvalues
Trang 26and challenges The extant literature review shows that Big Data analyticscould allow an e-commerce firm to achieve a range of benefits and face somedifficulties Besides, this research focuses on the impact of positive andnegative mechanism of Big Data analytics to customers’ responses in B2C e-commerce environments using application of Big Data analytics The specificobjectives are:
i To draw on a systematic review of the literature about business values andchallenges of a company when it applies Big Data analytics
ii To explore variables this has positve and negatve effects on customers’responses
iii To evaluate the mediation effects of perceived value’s dimensions onrelatonship between positive factor of applying BDA and customers’responses
iv To evaluate the mediation effect of perceived risk on relatonshipbetween negative factor of applying BDA and customers’ responses andmoderation effect of trust propensity
1.4 Contribution of the Study
This research intends to provide a thorough representation of themeaning of Big Data in the e-commerce context by drawing on a systematicreview of the literature about business value and challenges of a companywhen it applies Big Data analytics and finding the mechanisms of applyingBig Data analytics to customers’ responses
The study would suggest important implicatons in enhancing businessvalues and minimum the challenges of applying Big Data analytics E-vendors could know what they need to prepare if they want to apply BDA intheir system Identifying the factors of mechanisms of applying BDAaffectng on customers’ responses, it would help for companies to
Trang 277understand
Trang 28their customers’ behavior when they apply BDA and customers also canunderstand themselves under Big Data era
1.5 Definition of the Operation Terms
There are some keywords or operatonal terms used in this study which are needed to define as following:
1 E-commerce: E-commerce is the actvity of buying or selling of productsand services online or over the internet Electronic commerce draws ontechnologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supplychain management; Internet marketing, online transacton processing,electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, andautomated data collecton systems (Wikipedia)
2 Big Data: Big data is a data set that is so voluminous and complex thattraditonal data processing, applicatons software is inadequate to dealwith them Big Data is similar to ‘small data ‘, but bigger in Size (Wikipedia)
3 Big Data Analytics (DBA): Big data analytics is where advanced analytictechniques operate on big data sets Hence, big data analytics is really abouttwo things - big data and analytics - plus how the two have teamed up
to create one of the most profound trends in business intelligence (BI) today(Russom, 2011)
4 Structural Equaton Modeling (SEM): SEM is multivariate techniquecombining aspects of factor analysis and multiple regression that enables theresearcher to simultaneously examine a series of interrelated dependencerelatonships among the measured variables and latent constructs as well asbetween several latent constructs (Hair, 2010)
5 Reflective Measurement Model: a measurement model specification inwhich it is assumed that the indicators are causes by the underlyingconstruct
6 Positive factor: Variables related to positive factor of positve impact ofBDA application such as information search, recommendation system,
Trang 299dynamic pricing and customer’ services were considered in the analysis.
Trang 307 Negative factor: Variables related to negatve factor of negatve impact ofBDA application such as privacy and security, shopping addicton and groupinfluences were considered in the analysis
8 AIDA: AIDA model is a basic movement of marketng and advertsementresulted from perception of customers

Trang 36CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEWThe literature review section includes the following: (Secton 2.1)Concept of Big Data in E-commerce Environment, (Secton 2.2) Big dataanalytics in E-commerce: Aspect of business, (Section 2.3) Big data analytics
in E-commerce: Aspect of customer
2.1 Concept of Big Data in E-commerce Environment
2.1.1 Big Data Analytics in the E-Commerce Environment
2.1.1.1 Introduction of Big Data
Big data, terabytes of data, mountains of data, no matter how todescribe it, there is a going data explosion all around us that makescollections and storage of data merely trivial Generally the concept of bigdata refers to datasets who size is beyond the ability of typical databasesoftware tool to capture, store, manage, and analyze (Manyika et al., 2011).This definition is incorporation a moving definiton of how big a datasetneeds be considered as big data With another definiton, Big Data is acollection of massive and complex data sets and data volume that includethe huge quantites of data, data management capabilites, social mediaanalytics and real-time data (Anuradha, 2015) Data is something so hugeand complex that it is impossible to use traditonal analytics tools to processand work on them The big data term has been used to refer to increasingdata volumes in the mid-1990s And now, big data is very where The BigData phenomenon has rapidly become pervasive across the spectrum ofdifferent industries and sectors (McAfee et al., 2012; Davenport, 2013).Figure 2 presents the ease of capturing big data’s value, and themagnitude of its potential, vary across sectors The big data value potentialinto account a sector’s competitve conditons, such as market turbulence,performance variability; structural factors, such as transacton intensity andthe number of potential customers and business partners; and the quantity
Trang 37of data available The ease of-capture index takes stock of the numberof
Trang 39Big data encompasses unstructured and structured data thatcorrespond to various activites Structured data entails data that iscategorized and stored in a file according to a particular format description,where unstructured data is free-form that takes on a number of types(Kudyba, 2014) Big data is often characterized by volume, velocity, andvariety (the three Vs) (McAfee et al.,
2012; Lycett, 2013; Goes, 2014; Wixom et al., 2014; Hashem et al., 2015).Researcher have also extended big data characteristics include veracity(Gillon et al., 2012; Goes, 2014) and value (Hashem et al., 2015) to make five
Vs (Patnaik et al., 2015)
We can classify the five Vs of big data into two subgroups base on thehierarchy as Data Information Knowledge Intelligence (Goes,2014) It means data has been processed to extract knowledge andintelligence from data information The Figure 3 shows five distnctvecharacteristcs of big data and its processing Big data can be easilydistnguished from traditonal form of data used in analytcs (Akter andWamba, 2016) The following is detail about five Vs as describing withexample in Table 1
