Discussion: HBR Reading
First, read this week’s assigned reading: “Making Advanced Analytics Work for You” (Harvard Business Review) (Links to an external site.).

This is a great article because it discusses what it takes to go from knowing you need to use analytics to post-implementation. It’s also full of a lot of anecdotes that should add some color to all of our discussion about what happens when we go live with analytics will people use it? Will we develop brilliant insights instantly? What are the obstacles?

Share your thoughts on this reading. If somebody else in the class shared a similar thought, reply to their post with your own take

 To write the paper you will answer each of the following three questions separately, and additional insight suggested further below.   Each answer should be 400-500 words long and provide concrete examples to flesh out your ideas.
Your three questions:
* What role does media currently play in your professional, personal, and/or political life? Consider the following as you answer this question: How do you utilize it to influence others, to what ends or purposes? How does it influence your behavior, practice, or understanding of your professional, personal, and/or political life?
* Specify a handful of values that are important to you in your professional, personal and/or political lifehow does the media support and hamper your attempts to live out those values?
* As you look towards the future, 20 years out, what challenges and opportunities do you currently believe media will provide for you professionally, personally, and/or politically?
Additional insight for the paper:
You want to think of the media at this point as a whole language system that uses sounds, images, and printed words and images to package information in time and space to influence others.

You are not required to use any external source or readings, but you can use the book applying communication theory since it has very helpful definitions, theories, etc  that may help.

s the GDP Still Accurate in the Digital Age?
GDP is the sum of all income earned in a country during a year.Alternatively,it can be thought of as the value of all production in an economy during a year.But do income and production measure happiness? The way we measure GDP can both overstate and understate peoples happiness and well-being.It understates economic activity and well-being when it doesnt take into account production that is not exchanged in a market(grandma providing free baby-sitting)and leisure time.It overstates well-being when two otherwise identical activities are measured the same even though one produces more pollution.

Reply to these questions to begin your discussion:

Should we continue to measure GDP as we do now?After all, the current way of measurement has been used over time, so we can make historical comparisons. But are there problems with GDP that should be fixed? If you dont think GDP should be changed,explain your reasoning.If you think it should be changed,what changes would you recommend,and why?
