This is the eBook version of the study guide to support your studies for the core module Commercial Data Management (L6M7) which forms part of the CIPS Level 6 Professional Diploma in Procurement and Supply qualification.
Until recently big data was seen as a technical issue that had to be addressed; however, organisations now view it as a business opportunity that can significantly contribute to competitive advantage and are now exploiting big data in all of its forms to discover facts that they did not know before. Given this propensity for data and the associated gathering and storage activity, supply chain cyber security is now a key requirement. This module is designed for procurement and supply leaders who require a clear knowledge of the concept of big data and of the impact of data integrity and cyber security.
