Harnessing big data for business and society

Business and society are being fundamentally reshaped by major technological transitions. Key among these is the near-ubiquitous rise of digital business and state administrative operational processes which are producing more, and richer, data at an unprecedented rate. In this integrating unit, you will apply critical, creative, ethical, and analytical thinking to discover how ‘big data’ can be harnessed for the good of business and society at large. You will be challenged to examine the opportunities and risks that big data offers across a broad range of areas including finance, economics, business, education, health, justice and the environment.
