MGMT 8408 - Computational Social Science for Organizational Research (2 Cr.)
Course description
This seminar will provide a general introduction to the field of computational social science, with an emphasis on applications for research on organizations and management. The course will begin
with an examination of the benefits of computational methods and their relationship to other, more established research approaches. Subsequently, we will consider several broad categories of
topics, theories, and tools, including, for example, social network analysis, simulation, and natural language processing. In addition to providing an overview of the emerging field of computational
social science, the course will help you gain hands on experience with using the methods discussed through lab demonstrations and a research project.
