“Big data” is changing the way organizations function and the way individuals make decisions. This course examines organizational behavior and decision-making research as massive data becomes a bigger part of organizations. In particular, the focus is on data science from a psychological perspective, and its impact on how organizations function, and how leaders and managers make decisions. As organizations aggressively collect and analyze massive amounts of data, decision-makers are inundated with information they need to understand. This course will examine the practical implications of big data on several major issues, including leveraging lessons from big data to solve existing organizational issues/problems, recognizing new organizational issues caused by the rise of big data, and collaborating across technical and non-technical colleagues to solve organizational problems using analytical insights derived from big data.
