Overview
Key facts
London School of Economics and Political Science's Management Analytics in the Age of Big Data course offers students an overview of the economic potential of Big Data and AI. It begins by describing the rise of Big Data and the burgeoning field of AI, and proceeds to consider the implications of these new technologies for managers and for society as a whole.
With this foundation, students will examine managerial decision-making using data analytics. Big Data does not solve all of managers’ problems; even with increasing amounts of data and better AI, managers still need to make decisions under incomplete information (solve statistical inference problems) and to distinguish between correlation and causation (solve causal inference problems). Finally, students will learn how to apply their new understanding of statistical and causal inference to the construction of regression models.The course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the foundational elements of data analysis and the use of statistical thinking in the context of managerial decision-making in today’s age of big data.Programme Structure
Courses include:
- The rise of big data and AI technology and the role of managers in shaping their impacts on firms and society.
- The challenges that remain even in the presence of big data: statistical inference and causal inference.
- A statistical approach to managerial decision-making under uncertainty (applied statistical inference).
