Case 3_Netflix Forum Discussion
Please read related case information in your textbook and write one paragraph revolving around one or all the discussion questions. This assignment is graded purely on effort. It replaces what is typically in-class discussion about how we study is evident in the real world. Everyone needs to participate/post in AT LEAST THREE case discussions (e.g., Case 1, Case 2, and Case 3) throughout the semester.
While you post in the discussion forum, please follow the below rules:
Read relevant case materials and questions thoroughly. You may Google or Wikipedia extra information if needed.
Think before you post. Try to post some constructive ideas and feedback instead of simple words like “yes, I agree” or “no, I don’t agree.”
Use appropriate language, grammar, and spelling, and treat your peers respectfully.
Watch this presentation below by Caitlin Smallwood, VP of data science and analytics at Netflix, especially beginning at around the 11 min mark. What are the stages where Netflix uses data for decision-making? At which stages in the process is data-driven decision-making faster and more accurate, and why? What sources of data are mined? How does Netflix convince skeptical managers that the “black box” of machine learning can be helpful? What additional data insights have managers gained from using Netflix tools? (You can also check the textbook/Chapter 5 or Internet sources, if needed).
