Hiroko Kudo · 2018
This paper investigates into a question through a failure case. The research question is; why we often fail to use the existing information and knowledge, including big data to design and/or implement public policies? The case is; the ticketing data, which was collected during the London Olympic Games and its so far under usage to design public policy related to health, well-being, and physical activities of the citizens. The research adopts qualitative analysis, including analysis of primary documents and semi-directive interviews. There is a limitation of single case study: however the case well represents the research question to provide preliminary investigation and to generate hypotheses for further studies.
