Book launch:

Viktor Mayer-Schõnberger and Kenneth Cukier

“Big Data – A Revolution That Transforms How We Live Work and Think”

Which paint colour is most likely to tell you a used car is in good shape? How did Google searches predict the spread of the H1N1 flu outbreak? The key to answering these questions and many more is “big data”—our newfound ability to crunch vast collections of information analyze them instantly and draw sometimes-profoundly surprising conclusions from them.

Viktor Mayer-Schõnberger and Kenneth Cukier co-authors of Big Data explain why big data may be on par with the Internet (or perhaps even the printing press); how it will change the way we think about business health politics education and innovation; and how we can protect ourselves from its hazards from the end of privacy as we know it to the prospect of being penalized for things we haven’t even done based on big data’s ability to predict our behavior.

Talented programmer award-winning software developer successful entrepreneur and acclaimed author Viktor Mayer-Schonberger is now Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation at the Oxford Internet Institute of the University of Oxford and also a faculty affiliate of the Belfer Center of Science and International Affairs at Harvard University. Leading expert on new economy and information society issues his advice is sought after by government think tanks and international media alike.

Kenneth Neil Cukier Data Editor of The Economist and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations has worked for years on business finance and technology matters for the Economist as well as the Wall Street Journal. An innovation intellectual property and Internet governance wizard he is regularly asked to speak to the world’s leaders and to comment on current matters in the media worldwide.

Distinguished Speaker Seminar

Saïd Business School 

5.30pmThursday 28 February 2013 Nelson Mandela Lecture Theatre

Doug Morris CEO Sony Music Entertainment

"From Adele to Zeppelin: Managing Creativity and Change in the Music Business"

 

Doug Morris is Chief Executive Officer of Sony Music Entertainment. Widely regarded as the most influential music executive in the industry he is responsible for guiding the overall global activities of the world’s second largest music company.
 
Prior to joining Sony Music in 2011 Mr Morris was Worldwide Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Music Group (UMG) the world’s largest music company. Under his direction UMG became the music industry’s most successful music company leading the industry in market share for 14 consecutive years. During that time he oversaw UMG’s rapid evolution from a record company into a full-fledged music entertainment company.
 
A graduate of Columbia University Doug Morris began his music career as a songwriter for music publisher Robert Mellin Inc. His credits include the Chiffons’ 1966 hit “Sweet Talkin’ Guy” and producing such hit records as Brownsville Station’s “Smokin’ in the Boys Room.” He joined Laurie Records in 1965 as a writer and producer and was eventually named Vice President and General Manager. Later he launched his own label Big Tree Records which was distributed and eventually acquired by Atlantic Records in 1978. At this time Doug Morris was named President of ATCO Records beginning a 17-year association with Warner Music.
 
In 1980 Doug Morris was appointed President of Atlantic Records and assumed the position of Co-Chairman and Co-CEO (with Ahmet Ertegun) of the Atlantic Recording Group in 1990. At Atlantic he played a key role in transforming the label into the number one company within the Warner Music Group and the premier company within the music industry. As part of his strategy for growth he revamped the division labels into completely autonomous units (each supporting a variety of imprints); established co-venture deals with such renowned labels as Interscope Rhino and Matador; and created Time Warner Audiobooks in partnership with Warner Books. He also established Atlantic Nashville launched EastWest Records and created A*Vision Entertainment a leading home entertainment unit. Doug Morris was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of Warner Music US in 1994 and soon after was named Chairman.
 
Doug Morris began his association with the MCA Music Entertainment Group (now Universal Music Group) in July 1995 by forming the joint venture Rising Tide Entertainment. Upon his appointment as Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group in November 1995 the joint venture became wholly owned by Universal Music Group and was re-named Universal Records. The full-service label under the direction of Doug Morris quickly became one of the industry’s most successful start-up recording companies.
 
While leading Universal Music Group Doug Morris energised the company by attracting and recruiting many of the music industry’s most talented executives. With the acquisition of PolyGram in 1998 Doug Morris was directly involved with the restructuring and integration process to create the world’s largest music company.  Under his leadership Universal Music Group dominated the musical charts as the industry’s leader setting new records for revenues and market share in the US and on a global basis with a roster of superstars such as Lady Gaga U2 Black Eyed Peas and Kanye West along with successful newcomers Rihanna and Justin Bieber.
 
Throughout his career Doug Morris has worked in many different capacities with some of the most popular and influential artists of the past four decades including The Rolling Stones Phil Collins Pete Townsend Led Zeppelin Stevie Nicks Bette Midler Tori Amos INXS Mariah Carey Jay-Z Stevie Wonder and U2 among many others.

Daphne Koller Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and Co-Founder/Co-CEO of Coursera will give a Distinguished Speaker Seminar at Saïd Business School at 5.15pm on Monday 28 January 2013 entitled "The Online Revolution: Education for Everyone." 

 

The Seminar will be followed by a drinks reception.

 

Synopsis

We are at the cusp of a major transformation in higher education.  In the past year we have seen the advent of MOOCs - massively open online classes (MOOCs) - top-quality courses from the best universities offered for free.  These courses exploit technology to provide a real course experience to students including video content interactive exercises with meaningful feedback using both auto-grading and peer-grading and rich peer-to-peer interaction around the course materials.  As of December 2012 MOOCs have reached over 2 million students from 196 countries.  The courses offered start from bridge & gateway courses all the way through graduate courses and span a range of topics including computer science business medicine science humanities social sciences and more.  In this talk I'll report on this far-reaching experiment in education and why we believe this model can provide support to an improved learning experience for on-campus students via blended learning and to provide unprecedented access to education to millions of students around the world.
 

Speaker

Daphne Koller is a Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and the co-founder of Coursera a social entrepreneurship company that works with top universities to make the best education freely accessible to everyone. In her research life Koller works in the area of machine learning.  She is the author of over 200 refereed publications in venues that span a range of disciplines and has an H-index of 80. She has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship the ACM/Infosys award and membership in the National Academy of Engineering. She is an award winning teacher who pioneered many of the ideas that underlie the Coursera user experience. She received her BSc and MSc from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and her PhD from Stanford in 1994.

Professor Tulin Erdem will present a seminar on “Brands and Religion.”

Monday 18th February 2013 from 14:00 - 15:30

The seminar will be followed by a drinks reception at Saïd Business School

By invitation only.

Abstract: Are brands the “new religion”? Practitioners and scholars have been intrigued by the possibility but strong theory and empirical evidence supporting the existence of a relationship between brands and religion is scarce. In what follows we argue and demonstrate that religiosity is indeed related to “brand reliance” i.e. the degree to which consumers prefer branded goods over unbranded goods or goods without a well-known national brand. We theorize that brands and religiosity may serve as substitutes for one another because both allow individuals to express their feelings of self-worth. We provide support for this substitution hypothesis with U.S. state-level data (field study) as well as individual-level data where religiosity is experimentally primed (study 1) or measured as a chronic individual difference (study 2). Importantly studies 1 and 2 demonstrate that the relationship between religiosity and brand reliance only exists in product categories in which brands enable consumers to express themselves (e.g. clothes). Moreover studies 3 and 4 demonstrate that the expression of self-worth is an important factor underlying the negative relationship. Religion is a powerful force in many people’s lives impacting decisions about life death and everything in-between. It may be surprising then to learn that something as seemingly innocuous as brand name products can undermine an individual’s commitment to religion. We demonstrate that when brands are highly salient individuals are more likely to devalue religious commitment than when brands are not salient. We find that this is true when brands are incorporated into one’s expression of the self and are thus able to satisfy similar self-expressive needs as religion.
