The most important takeaway is to understand how important data is and how much it affects our daily lives. First, I believe data analysis is going to continue to improve and the way we use data in the future will be very different. Therefore, I would not explain to a future MIS0855 scholar about any data software or systems because they may have…[Read more]

I used to work part-time at Brother’s Auto Repair. The business used a software called Mitchell Manager, which keeps track of customers and their car repairs. When depicting this information on a spreadsheet, the column will be the individual customers and the rows will consist of their information.

The one mistake that I made was to work on a database without doing a full backup first. After making changes, I saved the new draft but realized I was missing some numbers that I needed because I deleted it. Now, I was stuck with a full analysis with incorrect data because of the fact that I did not save the first draft. If I had the first draft,…[Read more]

The most important principle is the “simplify” principle. One thing I learned throughout business school is to make what I want to convey concise. The reason for this is because people want to get to the point. By having too much information, people will skim through important parts. Therefore, a data visualization should be simplified to the…[Read more]

The most important take away for me from the conversation we had on data biases and signal problems is that you have to take everything with a grain of salt. Do not believe everything you see because more data are usually needed. For example, when looking at Yelp one has to account for the user who posted, the amount of reviews the search has, and…[Read more]

Conventional Wisdom – “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.”
Data that can prove this wrong
– Companies’ reports on innovation of products and how the products saved money or increased revenue through improvements
– Maintaining (minor fixes that are necessary) a car before it gets totaled and not maintaining a car before it gets totaled
