The increasing use of big data within the economics field has led academics and professionals to broaden the investigation of its consequences in corporate decision-making processes. Until now, scholars and managers have been focused only on the technical aspects of big data, without emphasizing the influence they exert on the effectiveness of decision-making systems. Firstly, this paper aims to review the literature which concerns the study of the relationship between the use of big data and its effectiveness i n corporate de ci sion-making system. Secondly, it provides relevant evidence to analyze whether big data acts as a facilitator for the implementation of advanced decision- making models and eventually how. In this aspect, our work identifies the key factors that support the corporate decision-making process by proposing a possible corporate governance model. The theoretical framework that we have adopted relies on big data management studies, with a specific focus on the implications which show that the use of big data can generate the decision-making dynamics of companies and organizations. The current paper provides both theoretical and managerial contributions to the literature on big data and decision making, defining future perspectives to advance knowledge i n this research area.
