Bill Drew:

Here are a few additional references related to big data. I think many of
us would appreciate receiving the bibliography you compile based on your
query and further search; please post to this list or send separately.

Thanks,

> number, and are therefore hard to identify, recruit, use effectively and
> retain ; (2) Managers and leaders don't know why or how to effectively use
> big data.
