Abstract

Organizations are investing in data science capabilities to gain competitive

advantages. Yet not much is known about how organizational context shapes data

science capabilities to create value. This paper is based on a set of case studies.

By conducting semi-structured interviews, this study shows that cross-functional

collaboration, openness towards external data sources, coordination of data

curation tasks, innovation orientation, organizational mindset and agility

influence the development of data science capabilities. Our findings have

implications for the IS literature on data science by showing the importance of

organizational arrangements.
