When it come making a strategic decision or strategies in a global market, sometimes it will become tough to exaggerate the value manager intuition and experience. The situation gets worse especially when data is not at hand in the form of paper. Big data analytics solve that problem and make it possible to possess terabytes of information in hand at the legible cost.

Second article is from the Harvard Business Review paper in which authors defines a framework for strategic decision making through using different choices from the official history. Leaders play a significant role in the success of the organization. Authors explain how a determination of decision-making context helps in the ordered, unordered, complicated and complex strategic decisions. If leaders assume different meaning like if a context is complex and simple where they can easily predict cause and effect relation they should make the decision-based upon facts. On the other hand, if a context is chaotic and complex leaders can use unordered approach for making decisions. They should make their strategies based on the emerging pattern and trends present in the market. In such contexts, similar analytical methods and data mining are most applicable solution for making decisions. Every decision should make after analysis that is impossible without the deployment of current advanced technologies while present in the global market ( Snowden &  Boone, 2007).
