Algorithms are being increasingly deployed in organizational processes. Such algorithms are based on machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. They learn from past data to predict and execute business decisions such as loan approval and product recommendation, and societal decisions such as medical triage and social classification. They give rise to new forms of work such as app-based car sharing and task execution. Indeed, given the current accelerated digitalization of almost every industry and government sector, algorithm mediated tasks are expected to dramatically increase in both the organizational and societal contexts. This course will introduce you to research that examines the emerging and distinctive Information Systems phenomena associated with the deployment and use of algorithms, in organizational and societal contexts.
This course is open to doctoral students in the Isenberg School of Management.
