MGT 411 - Communicating Business Insights and Ethics in Big Data

Institution:

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Management

Description:

This course tackles two critical issues in the business analytics field. The first one deals with how to present information derived from data analysis effectively to distinct stakeholders in either a written or oral way. This skill, i.e., clearly translating analytical results to valuable business insights with visual aids, is highly sought after in the business world now. Specifically, students will learn how to generate visual displays through a chosen computer software, how to engage audiences with storytelling techniques, and how to apply basic design principles to generate reports for specific audiences. The second issue concerns an increasingly rising interest in how business can leverage insights from business analytics in an ethical way. We will discuss ethical issues rising from business operations of data collection, data management, and data presentation. This section will equip students with a stronger ethical mindset in this increasingly data-driven business world.
