Abstract
Big Data, henceforth (BD), enables governments to produce and accumulate huge amounts of structured
and unstructured data through their everyday activities. Due to the types of data produced and the
volume, velocity and complexity of the data, government organisations need to find innovative ways to
analyse it. Government organisations have since realised the potential to derive value from BD and,
therefore, a need to adopt BD into their data activities. Currently, South African governmental
organisations have not fully committed to adopting BD because they are unsure if they are adequately
equipped, and additional empirical research is required to understand the salient factors that influence
BD adoption.
