The objective of this project is to provide insights into the mechanisms and barriers related to the internalization of data in organizational and decision-making contexts. The aim is to identify and delimit a future practice based, empiric research project within the SMEs and identify the ontology for further studies. It will provide a sound basis for an interventional and collaborative study involving practitioners and companies, by providing insights into the organizational, governance, compliance issues of transitioning into data-drivenness for the resource constrained SMEs, that do not necessarily have the organizational capacity,
competences and knowledge to transition to a higher data maturity level to begin with.
Research Question:
How can data practices in SMEs in Central Denmark Region be characterized?
What characterizes the attitudes towards data quality, compliance and data governance in
top management, middle management and operations?
