Abstract

This study aims to introduce the potential of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) as a framework to explain the characteristics of current wicked policy risks. We also analyse how big data informatics help us to overcome volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous wicked policy risks in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, presenting a VUCA framework, this study illustrates how policy risks disturb policy results based on selected cases. Additionally, we argue that big data analytics has become an increasingly significant and feasible instrument for managing policy risks. We discuss potential challenges concerning skepticism about continued politics in policy decisions and implementation processes, and limitations of informatics and the nature of big data, which is often possibly biased and incomplete.

大流行时代使用大数据分析管理政策风险:VUCA和邪恶的政策问题

本研究旨在引入波动性、不确定性、复杂性和模糊性(VUCA)的潜力作为一个框架来解释当前邪恶政策风险的特征。我们还分析了在2019冠状病毒病大流行背景下，大数据信息学如何帮助我们克服不稳定、不确定、复杂和模糊的不良政策风险。具体而言，本研究提出了一个VUCA框架，并基于选定的案例说明了政策风险如何干扰政策结果。此外，我们认为大数据分析已经成为管理政策风险的越来越重要和可行的工具。我们讨论了潜在的挑战，包括对政策决策和实施过程中持续政治的怀疑，以及信息学的局限性和大数据的性质，这些通常可能是有偏见和不完整的。版权所有©2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd。

期刊介绍： The IJPP proposes and fosters discussion on public policy issues facing nation states and national and supranational organisations, including governments, and how these diverse groups approach and solve common public policy problems. The emphasis will be on governance, accountability, the creation of wealth and wellbeing, and the implications policy choices have on nation states and their citizens. This perspective acknowledges that public policy choice and execution is complex and has ramifications on the welfare of citizens; and that, despite national differences, the actions of nation states are constrained by policies determined by supranational bodies, some of which are not directly accountable to any international body.
