Abstract:

The exponential growth of data, expected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, has surpassed traditional tools, driving industries toward advanced analytics. Big Data Analytics Capabilities (BDAC), rooted in IT capability, integrate technological and organisational resources to generate value. While BDAC has transformed sectors like manufacturing and banking, its integration into healthcare—particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh—remains limited due to regulatory and stakeholder complexities. This thesis explores the impact of BDAC on sustainability performance in healthcare supply chains, with a focus on public procurement optimisation as a mediating factor. It addresses a critical research gap by examining how BDAC can enhance sustainability in resource-constrained environments. The study aims to: (1) assess BDAC’s role in improving supply chain sustainability, (2) evaluate its influence on sustainability-related decisions across economic, social, and environmental dimensions, and (3) analyse the mediating role of procurement optimisation. Adopting a positivist paradigm and quantitative approach, survey data were collected from 225 stakeholders in Bangladesh’s healthcare and procurement sectors. Findings reveal that higher BDAC levels significantly enhance sustainability performance, with procurement optimisation mediating this effect. The study validates relevant models and offers practical guidance for managers and policymakers in similar developing contexts.
