It will not decrease the humanity of production.

Explanation:

Big data analytics is useful for unraveling hidden patterns and correlations. Big data analytics is sometimes linked to be a direct descendant of Frederick Winslow Taylor's scientific management and recently it is the most recent iteration of the quantitative approach to management.

Big data is used in management in activities that includes humans or individuals therefore it will not reduce the humanity of production in organizations.
