To achieve it, a quantitative approach was employed to collect and analyze primary data from 304 telecommunications companies, which was then utilized to test hypotheses related to the targeted phenomena. A structural equation model was proposed to analyze the effects of Big Data Analytics (BDA) on achieving a competitive advantage. The results indicated that BDA improves electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) and electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM). Furthermore, it was found that BDA improves social media platforms. In addition, e-WOM, e-CRM, and social media were found to improve market performance, ultimately boosting competitive advantage. This research underscores the significance of analyzing BDA to achieve a competitive advantage among competing telecommunication firms.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Research Program from the Faculty of Education, Economy and Technology of Ceuta.
