How do data scientists and managers influence machine learning value creation?

Humberto Ferreira, Nova SBE's Alumni, has recently co-authored a research paper on corporations leveraging machine learning to create business value.

Abstract


Corporations are leveraging machine learning (ML) to create business value (BV). So, it becomes relevant to not only ponder the antecedents that influence the ML BV process but also, the main actors that influence the creation of such value within organizations: data scientists and managers. Grounded in the dynamic-capabilities theory, a model is proposed and tested with 319 responses to a survey. While for both groups, platform maturity and data quality are equally important factors for financial performance, information intensity is an equally important factor for organizational performance. On one hand, data scientists care more about the catalytic effect of data quality on the relationship between platform maturity and financial performance, and the compatibility factor for organizational performance. On the other hand, managers care more about the feasibility factor for financial performance. The findings presented here offer insights on how data scientists and managers perceive the ML BV creation process.

Coronavirus and the opportunity for the digital transformation of social services

The coronavirus crisis has pushed social enterprises to seek digital alternatives to their processes and intervention models. As we leave the emergency phase, it would be wasteful not to take advantage of this momentum to accelerate digital transformation within these organizations.

Data Science vs. Humans: who do we trust in the decision-making process?

There is no doubt that data science applications are becoming a part of organizations’ lives and, consequently, the lives of us all. As technology itself evolves and becomes more effective in detecting patterns and preferences, should we let it tell us which direction to follow? Will data science algorithms make human intuition obsolete?

From health aid to stock management, which makes artificial intelligence

Health and retail are two of the sectors that stand out for applying the so-called artificial intelligence in Portugal, in contrast to banking, which is more "afraid" because it is a more regulated sector. It can help more accurate diagnoses, and, in the future, it will change the way we move.‍
