Organizational Resilience and Big Data Analytics: Could Analytical, Automatic, Adaptive and Agile Information Systems Open the Cage?

In current turbulent times, organization need to be resilient in order to adapt to changing environment. Yet, organizations, in order to be flexible and resilient, need to not focus on rigid architectures. However, at the same time, organizations need rigid infrastructure such as information systems capable to collect and analysed data from environment. In this sense, while literature has stressed out how information systems may represent a burden for organization pursuing resilience, this paper try to highlights how Big Data Analytics (BDA) capable information systems may foster resilience. In this perspective, this theoretical paper try to propose some implications on the topic to scholars and practitioners.
