Course Description
The last two decades have witnessed a tremendous explosion in ways that firms use to track consumer behavior. This was aided considerably by the precipitous fall in the price of electronic storage media as well as computing power. Despite access to valuable data on purchase behavior and consumer characteristics, very few firms actually condition their strategies on the data they have. This may be attributed to at least two factors. First, firms now have so much information that it is often very costly for them to get to the data that can be meaningfully used to devise their strategies. Second, many firms just don’t know what to do with the data. The course addresses both these issues. The course will introduce students to analytical techniques that will assist in data reduction and consumer segmentation. Additional techniques to uncover the characteristics of the different consumer segments will be developed. The latter half of the course will apply these techniques to some marketing problems – devising communication strategies, catalog marketing etc.

As most research in social sciences is aimed at quantifying relationships among variables that either measure the outcome of some process or are likely to affect the process, where the process in question could be any economic, business, or management process of interest to the social scientist. The quantification of the process may be as simple as determining the degree of association or as complicated as estimating the parameters of a detailed nonlinear system. Regardless of the complexity of the model, the most powerful and widely used statistical method for estimating the parameters of interest is the method of least squares. Researchers choose the most appropriate model for the project at hand, the parameters of the model are then estimated such that model predictions and the observed data are in as good agreement as possible as measured by the least squares criterion, minimization of the sum of squared differences between the predicted and the observed points.

This course has two aims. First to provide a comprehensive and multidimensional overview of innovation including its historical, biological, economic, philosophical, cultural, and practical features. Second to offer a unified, integrated perspective of science and art as a mechanism for inspiring innovation and achieving scientific excellence. There has long been a wellknown divide between the humanities and the sciences. C.P. Snow famously called this “The Two Cultures” and since then there have been numerous efforts to bridge this gap. And we all know how some of history’s finest scientists, Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Franklin and others were steeped in art and likewise some of the world’s greatest artists and thinkers have made scientific contributions such as Samuel Morse, Ramón y Cajal, and, of course Leonardo da Vinci among others. In this course we aim to provide a unified synthesis of art, science and music through the vehicle of a close study of Waves, a 21st century version of Faust which develops the legend in its modern setting exploring the implications of bioelectromagnetics.

Course Description
Disruptive technology is an innovation which radically changes the way businesses or industries operate. Through the acceleration of technological innovation, societies and economies must adjust in a radical manner, as organic change is an unlikely sustainable tactic.

This course will give students a better understanding of how digitization creates new, or disrupts, business models and how to effectively deal with such disruptive trends through the use of strategies and tools, such as design thinking. In this course, students will be offered hands-on experience through several business simulations and case-studies to better understand the roblem-solving, culture-building and extended impacts of digital transformation.
