With the advent of the era of big data, how to manage the data becomes a serious problem in the business world.Many companies have large amountsof data but struggle to analyze them to get the most benefit. A recent study by Gartner Research indicates that less than five percent of e-commerce companies use big dataor predictive analytic software. Typically, only the biggest companies such asAmazon.com, China's Alibaba and Japan's Rakuten are serious about putting in the money to make this happen.Currently, most of the data is only used to identify trends and increase sales by driving morecustomers to their online stores. As such there are great opportunities for academics to analyze the data in different ways to extract information useful to companies to improve their competitive position.

To understand the success of these emerging Chinese enterprises better, we need to develop a new research perspective.
