❗️ CBS IS CLOSING CAMPUS ON WEDNESDAY ❗️

The increase in COVID-19 infections in Copenhagen has led to a governmental shut down of campus as of Wednesday 9 December.
This means that all classes and other activities on campus are cancelled. When possible, classes will go online instead – keep yourself posted on my.cbs.dk, Canvas and Calendar 😷

All written sit-in exams on Tuesday 8 December will be carried out as planned, but if your exam was to take place on 9 December or later, it may be postponed until January or February. And it will most likely be carried out in a different way. If your exam has already been converted to an online activity, it will be carried out as planned 👩‍💻

You will find specific information about your exams on my.cbs.dk as soon as it is available, and no later than 16 December. So stay posted! 📜

We are very much aware of the uncertainty this new situation might cause, and we recommend that you contact Student Hub, if you have any questions or need someone to talk to.

Seminar on Fake News 21 November 2019 💭🗣

The problem of Fake News is one of our time’s most pressing challenges - it is widely believed to have played a major role in the election of Trump and Brexit, and in general, threatens the healthy functioning of news media in a modern democracy. In this seminar, The Platform for Digital Transformation brings together practitioners and academic scholars to better understand the phenomenon and to develop research strategies to address it.

Today, we had the pleasure to welcome Professor Joey F. George from Iowa State University. During our renowned scholars seminar series, he presented his research on "Culture, Media & Deception".

Abstract:

Deceptive communication has been studied for decades, but within that vast body of work, relatively little research has been done regarding the roles of cultural or media differences and their effects on deception and its detection. Even less research has been done where culture, media and deception intersect. This presentation describes a study of deception detection, where judges from various countries have been asked to detect deception among people from outside their culture and who speak different languages. In addition, the judges were asked to judge the veracity of people across four different media. The research questions: Can people detect deception among members of other cultural groups? And what is the role of computer-mediated modes of communication in successful deception detection?

Copenhagen Business School has established a new Centre for Business Data Analytics ( ) at the Department of IT Management. cbsBDA’s vision is to turn big data sets into business assets by generating meaningful facts, actionable insights, valuable outcomes, and sustainable impacts.

The new centre is led by our Professor Ravi Vatrapu and consists of 2 assistant professors, 9 PhD students, 5 research assistants, and 11 collaborating faculty from CBS and beyond. The research project (http://riotilroskilde.dk) is one of 4 projects already underway at our new centre with competences in the computational social science, theoretical computer science, data mining, machine learning, text analytics, information systems, econometrics, psychology, marketing, and public health.

cbsBDA aims to operate in the “Pasteur’s Quadrant” by its pioneering research on set-theoretical big data analytics as well as developing novel organisational applications that realise business value and create societal impact.

On Friday, we welcomed Professor Kevin Crowston from Syracuse University (http://crowston.syr.edu). During our renowned scholars seminar series, he presented his research on "Citizen Science: Learning to Effectively Contribute in Virtual Organizations".

Abstract:

Virtual citizen science projects such as the Zooniverse (http://zooniverse.org) provide tools and opportunities for public engagement in scientific research, thus providing an increasingly important venue for informal science education. However, these projects raise the question of how new contributors to such open online collaborative projects learn to participate. Many studies of informal learning apply the framework of situated learning, which emphasizes novices observing and participating in practice as well as interacting with more experienced participants. However, online citizen science projects offer participants only limited forms of engagement with practice. To explain how newcomers learn in such restricted settings, we extend the notion of situated learning and suggest that volunteers exploit varied modes of access to practice, feedback and relationship building. In current work, we are extending this work by exploring how machine learning systems can be used to support learning by newcomers.

On Friday, we welcomed Dr. Hamid Ekbia (Indiana University Bloomington) to our renowned scholars seminar series. He gave a talk on the topic "Heteromation and Other Stories of Computing and Capitalism".

Abstract:

The computerization of the economy has shifted the landscape in terms of the relations of human persons and digital machinery, systematically moving a large majority of people toward economically essential but marginal roles. In this new division of labor, much of the work undertaken by humans is hidden, uncompensated or poorly compensated, and naturalized as part of what it means to be a “user” of digital technology. In my work with Bonnie Nardi, we examine instances of this kind of participation in economic production, which we dub “heteromation.” Heteromation is a new logic of capital accumulation, which extracts economic value from low-cost or free labor in computer-mediated networks. I will present a précis of our book with the above title (2016, MIT Press), where we study the mechanisms, drivers, and value contributions of a wide variety of heteromated labor.

Our Associate Professor Chee-Wee Tan has a new paper in MIS Quarterly (co-authored with Izak Benbasat and Ronald Cenfetelli). Congratulations Chee-Wee!

Title: An Exploratory Study of the Formation and Impact of Electronic Service Failures

http://misq.org/an-exploratory-study-of-the-formation-and-impact-of-electronic-service-failures.html?SID=t1pc1lea8j62djo5ruv6rvp7m5

Chee-Wee: "We are very happy that our paper has been accepted for publication in MIS Quarterly (MISQ). The paper explores how electronic service failures manifest on e-commerce websites and their impact on consumer behavior. Throughout the review process, we are extremely appreciative of the time and effort expended by our Senior Editor Ron Thompson, Associate Editor J. J. Po-An Hsieh, as well as two anonymous reviewers to continuously provide constructive feedback and invaluable advice to assist us in improving the paper. It is a humbling and inspiring experience to work with the review team to develop the manuscript and see it mature over time :) "

Yet, there is a paucity of studies that investigates how such failures manifest on e-commerce websites and their impact…

Today, we officially start a new research project at ITM "Big Data Analytics for Social Business" funded by the Danish Industry Foundation (Industriens Fond). The formal project kick-off is on 23-Oct-2015 (http://www.industriensfond.dk/data).

The project team is led by ITM’s Professor Ravi Vatrapu (Computational Social Science) with co-PI’s from ITM and three other departments at CBS: Daniel Hardt (Computational Linguistics), Lisbeth la Cour (Time-Series Econometrics), Torsten Ringberg (Marketing) and Per Østergaard Jacobsen: Business Analytics).

Two assistant professors and two PhD fellows are hired at ITM on the grant and CBS co-financing. We welcome Raghava Rao Mukkamala (Formal Methods and Set Theory), Abid Hussain (Data Science and Design Research), Niels Buus Lassen (Statistics and Predictive Analytics) and Benjamin Flesch (Visual Analytics and Computational Set Analysis) to the ITM family.

The project will systematically collect, combine, and analyse business data and social data to (a) advance research in Computational Social Science, (b) create value for Danish companies in terms of tools for social product innovation, dashboards for corporate social responsibility and sales forecasters, and (c) train employees and managers for data-driven decision-making.
