The intermediating role of organizational culture and internal analytical knowledge between the capability of big data analytics and a firm’s performance

• Critical Analysis of the existing Big Data Analytics Capability Model (BDAC). • Introduction of Organisational Culture as a mediating variable. • Examination of the conversion process of Tacit Knowledge present in Internal Analytical Knowledge and Organisational Culture. • Extending the existing literature in the process of validating the BDAC.

The findings bring into focus that CL plays the role of complementary mediation between BDAC and KN to positively impact firm performance (FP); BDAC also plays a similar mediatory role between CL and the performance of a firm
