Abstract: In the contemporary digitalised age, big data analytics have enabled organisations to automate and analyse multiple sources of data and information quickly such that it facilitates optimised decision making process that help in achieving organisational goals. While, from a strategic perspective analysing of the data for eventual analysis is vital, given the availability of varieties of data that can be accessed from multiple media sources makes big data management highly challenging. Moreover, given that big data analyses data very fast, it enables access to data-information which could compromise (either inadvertently or deliberately) individual privacy, be misused, etc. raising ethical issues concerning the sharing and usage of data. To address these concerns on ethicality in big data management, this study proposes to use a simple 'stakeholders-ethics-framework' to develop a 'stakeholder analysis approach framework' suggestive be linked to sustainability guidelines that help towards a sustainable big data industry, is assumed.

Keywords: big data analytics; large data management; ethical in big data; stakeholder analysis approach; stakeholder ethics framework; sustainability.
