Furthermore, the paper investigates the challenges and barriers that organizations may encounter in aligning big data analytics with business objectives, such as data quality issues, skill shortages, and cultural resistance to change. Strategies and best practices for overcoming these challenges are also discussed, drawing on real-world examples and case studies. Ultimately, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on big data analytics by highlighting the critical role of business alignment in maximizing the value of analytics investments.
