On the other hand, Cole, Nelson, & McDaniel (2015) hold that employees are a driving force that ensures continuous operations in any organization. In this regard, increased customer churn rates pose critical risks that might result in the collapse of an organization. As explained by Cole, Nelson, & McDaniel (2015), the increased customer churn rate reduces the total market share of an organization rendering it uncompetitive. A study by El Khatib and Shurab (2016) indicated that reliance of digital technology strategies, such as online self-service impact customers positively as they are involved in the service delivery process. Similarly, high employee attrition leads to low-quality service delivering hindering an organization from meeting its objectives.

Consequently, the research by Almeida (2017) concludes that the adoption of big data analytics prevents the risks associated with increased customer churn rates and employee attrition. By applying big data analytics, organizations collect numerous information based on different customer segments. The company counters the risks of high customer churn rates by identifying various factors that hindering customer satisfaction (De Mauro et al., 2018). Additionally, high attrition rates among employees can be easily detected, analyzed, and manipulated by using big data analytics. The adopted big data analytics identify the specific needs of employees and formulates ways of fostering retention.

2.4. Big Data Analytics Foster Operational Assessment and Enables Organizations to Manage Various Forms of Digital Risks

Big data technology enables organizations to collect, store, analyze, and apply big chunks of data in the course of assessing and managing different forms of risks. Operational risks are some of the common threats facing organizations in the contemporary world. Companies experience different risks originating from different organizational processes (De Mauro et al., 2018). Ineffective management of these risks threatens the stability of any organization. In this regard, the adoption of big data analytics has proved to be effective in handling various operational management threats. According to El Khatib et al. (2022c), reliance on the digital technologies also contributes to improvement of service quality dimensions, including reliability and security, which are integral components of risk management. Similarly, research by Vassakis et al. (2018) revealed that adopting digital technology has led to the existence of several risks in the contemporary world. However, Jin and Wagman (2021) established that relying on big data analytics has proved to be effective in dealing with various threats associated with digitalization.
