The research synopsis is below.
There has been a vast expansion of data usage in
recent years. The requirements of database systems to provide a variety of
information has resulted in many more types of database engines and approaches.
A once simple management task has become much more complex. Challenges exist
for database managers to make the best choices of practices and procedures to
satisfy the requirements of organisations.
This research was aimed at understanding how the
management of database systems is undertaken, how best practices and procedures
form a part of the management process, and the complex nature of database
systems. The study examined the adoption of best practices and how the complex
interactions between components of the database system affect management and
performance.
As part of this research, an innovative method was
developed in which thematic analysis of the resulting data was deepened through
the use of systems thinking and diagramming. Taking this holistic approach to
database systems enabled a different understanding of best practices and the
complexity of database systems. A ‘blueprint’, called a CODEX, was drawn up to
support improvement and innovation of database systems. Based on a
comprehensive assessment of the individual causal interactions between data
components, a data map detailed the complex interactions.
