Study Notes
Decision-Making Approaches
- Logical approach evaluates expected outcomes against objective criteria.
- Heuristic approach uses simplified strategies and does not follow a strict sequential process.
Dual-Process Theory
- Distinction between System 1 (intuition/non-rationality) and System 2 (reasoning/rationality).
- System 2 encapsulates rational intelligence and analytical thinking.
- System 1 is characterized by quick, automatic responses and emotional reasoning.
Data-Driven Decision-Making
- Concept emphasizes the significance of data in informing decisions and comprehending human behavior.
- Common perception among managers: data-driven decision-making is seen as more reliable than intuition.
- Some managers believe human judgment is crucial and can sometimes surpass data-driven approaches.
Big Data in Organizations
- Importance of leveraging big data is highlighted for effective organizational decision-making.
- Managers have varying views on the role of data and analytics, often seeing them as critical tools.
- Certain perspectives on data-driven decision-making are not addressed, such as potential ethical concerns.
Analytics Generations
- Third Generation of analytics characterized by greater autonomy and predictive capabilities.
- Fourth Generation of analytics is often represented by smart systems that integrate AI.
- First Generation of analytics features historical data analysis and basic reporting mechanisms.
- Shift towards system autonomy marked by advancements in algorithms and machine learning.
- Second Generation of analytics focuses on predictive analytics and data modeling.
Historical Context
- Personal Computing era marked a significant advancement in data-related systems, influencing access and usage of technology in analytics.
