授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

Analytics and big data are the new frontier, circa 2021. They will be for a long time. AI, machine learning---all these terms will be de-mystified in this course.

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

What is the analytics and big data frenzy all about? Each time we watch Netflix or a Tiktok, or merely walk around the mall with our smartphone (location: on), we are being big-data-dissected and “predicted,” i.e., led to what we need to buy or watch next, whether we like it or not. The business press has added to the frenzy with jargon like “Digitization,” “AI,” “algorithms,” etc. We are awed and blinded by the science.

In this course students will learn about the foundations of data and analytics. We dive beneath the jargon into the how-tos and applications of analytics. We do practical in-class exercises on data analytics. We should no longer feel the intimidation.

The class will get a brief refresher on the a few statistical concepts, and focus on two predictive tools, recommender systems and regression, the foundations for many big data applications. No worries, non-numeric people! We will simplify and get into the practical understanding. No, you will not be a data scientist from this course (do you really want to?), but you should be able to intelligently talk to, and even manage, data scientists.

The class will then appreciate how analytics and big data fit into business models. Where do these fit on platforms and two-sided models like AirBnb and Uber? More generally, how does digitization enable business models?

Finally, the class will study the limits to analytics and big data: of fake news, of information overload and bias, and information fatigue. (We will take recent incident like Gamestop and dissect what happened.)

The course is about class discussions. I will grade your participation in both class discussions and possibly learning team breakout rooms. How actively do you participate by sharing your ideas with others, collaborating with teams, and contributing insights to the group? The most rigorous students will read all assigned texts. Other students should at least browse alternative readings on the web (provided in each section) as background reading.

評価の留意事項 Notes on Evaluation Criteria

I will reward in-class contributions during case discussions. These include starting the case, summarizing others’ viewpoints, creating debate with others, concluding. I like good questions and how you clarify difficult concepts. I like active group participation, but participation must be positive, building, and collaborative—not attacking or criticizing. I will assign a final term paper, 1000 words limit, to be submitted January 30, 2022. The topic will be assigned in class.
