This study adopted the quantitative method of research with a cross-sectional technique. This study employed a questionnaire to gather the data as a research instrument. This study has used the purposive sampling method by keeping in mind the context of the study. Employees of the Chines SMEs that were at least 10 years old were the population of the current study. The research model was being analyzed by employing the “Partial Least Squares” technique through statistical software the Smart PLS 3. The results are in line with the proposed hypothesis. The present study contributed to the literature by suggesting characteristics that promote or prevent the organization to successfully implementing big data and pointed out that showing resistance in information management system implementation may have different effects on the organization. Besides, the study also discussed the relationship between such information systems and the organization. Findings of these two factors provide insights for the practitioners and researchers in assessing the success or failure of organizations for using big data.
