Title: A Multidisciplinary Perspective on Big Data

An increasing number of Asian countries have adopted Internet economic conductive to rapid growth and a presence in different business industries. In the age of the Internet of Things, the development of big data technology has brought significant changes in recent years. For instance, in China, consumers are exposed to an expanding, fragmented array of management touch points across digital media and sales channels, little is known the challenges faced by businesses in this regard. Powered by the integration of social media, e-commerce, cloud computing ,and mobile computing, big data technologies provide fundamentally new insights into business's effect on revenue. Therefore, big data analytics is increasingly recognized as an emerging approach for integration between pubic/private sector organisations and as a way to identify new business opportunities in the region. In a world where data volumes are ever growing and the environment of global business is constantly evolving gaining deeper insight into the processes, their stability, and underlying patterns is invaluable. This seminar will provide an overview of this embryonic filed an open discussion of where next awaits.

The Suzhou Executive Academy (SEA) is a unique education platform created by International Business School Suzhou (IBSS) at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) for business leaders in the Yangtze River Delta region. SEA events bring together a community of like-minded business and academic professionals and offer a global insight into a variety of business issues, as well as the unique access to a high-level executive network.

China's multifaceted economy combined with a complex and changeable regulatory environment is a mix of both opportunities and challenges for those who are doing business, working and studying in China. Thus, the SEA's mission is to seek out and to debate the most pressing and relevant business, economic and social issues nationally and internationally. Then, combine all of this with the latest academic points of view (created through in-depth knowledge and research) and the practical know-how of key individuals from public and leading private organisations.

The SEA is organized in regular evening seminars – one every three to four weeks from 6pm to 8:30pm - during which a topic is presented and debated among the participants in a friendly academic environment which allows managers and entrepreneurs to meet peers representing different industries in an open platform created to debate and discuss together common points of interest.

The SEA aims to become the focal point of the business community of Suzhou and the Yangtze River Delta region!
