Big data analytics is critical in modern operations management (OM). In this study, we first
explore the existing big data‐related analytics techniques, and identify their strengths,
weaknesses as well as major functionalities. We then discuss various big data analytics
strategies to overcome the respective computational and data challenges. After that, we
examine the literature and reveal how different types of big data methods (techniques,
strategies, and architectures) can be applied to different OM topical areas, namely …
