Making Decisions in Groups: Characteristics, Process, Benefits, And Dysfunctions Groupwork : the work done by two or more people together A group performs a task Members may be located in different places Group members may work at different times Group members may work for the same organization or for different organizations A group can be permanent or temporary A group can be at one managerial level or span several levels …

Why Groupwork / Collaborate?

Characteristics of Group Work Group member located in different places/organizations Work at different times Group work can be permanent or temporary Group members can be from different managerial levels Group can create synergy (or not!) Process gains versus process losses Group work may lead to (or required to be completed in a very short time (more people = less time to finish?) Physical meetings may be cost prohibitive, …. more

Group Decision-Making Process Types of Decisions Made by Groups Groups are usually involved in two major types of decision making: Making a decision together. Supporting activities or tasks related to the decision-making process. For example, the group may select criteria for evaluating alternative solutions, …

Overview of Group Support Systems Technology that helps groups to collaborate effectively These technologies are called G S S (Group Support Systems) G S S enablers: Internet and its derivatives (intranets, internet of things [ IoT ], and extranets) The Web is the common infrastructure for G S S Recently communication and collaboration tools have received more attention due to Their increased capabilities Save time and money Expedite decision making

Time/Place Framework (1 of 2) Same time / same place. Participants meet face-to-face, as in a traditional meeting, or decisions are made in a specially equipped decision room. Same time / different place. Participants are in different places, but they communicate at the same time (e.g., with videoconferencing or I M). Different time / same place. People work in shifts. One shift leaves information for the next shift. Different time / different place . Participants are in different places, and they send and receive information at different times.

Collective Intelligence and Collaborative Intelligence (1 of 4) Collective intelligence ( C I) refers to the total intelligence of a group. It is also refers to as the wisdom of the crowd M I T center for collective intelligence ( cci.mit.edu ) Benefits of C I, see 50Minutes.com Types of Collective Intelligence Cognition Cooperation, and Coordination Computerized support to collective intelligence

Collective Intelligence and Collaborative Intelligence (2 of 4) Example 1: The Carnegie University Foundation Supports Network Collaboration Content is stored and shared in one place (the “cloud”) Asynchronous conversations using discussion boards Facilitating social collaboration and problem solving Example 2: How Governments Tap IoT for Collective Intelligence Governments are using IoT to support decision making and policy creation The IoT collect ideas and aspirations of the citizens How Collective Intelligence May Change Work and Life

Collective Intelligence and Collaborative Intelligence (3 of 4) Having people to collaborate is difficult Collaborative intelligence requires: (1) willingness to share, (2) knowing how to share, (3) being willing to collaborate, (4) knowing what to share, (5) knowing how to build trust, (6) understanding team dynamics, (7) using correct hubs for networking, (8) mentoring and coaching properly, (9) being open to new ideas, and (10) using computerized tools and technology. For another list of success factors, see thebalancecareers.com/collaboration-skills-with-examples-2059686

Collective Intelligence and Collaborative Intelligence (4 of 4) How to Create Business Value from Collaboration: The I B M Study Groups and team members provide ideas and insights. The study presents three major points: Enhances organizational outcomes by correctly tapping the knowledge and experience of working groups (e.g., customers, partners, and employees). It is crucial to target and motivate the appropriate participants. Needs to address the issue of participants’ resistance to change.

Crowdsourcing as a Method for Decision Support Crowdsourcing - outsourcing tasks to a large group of people (crowd). Goal – to leverage the wisdom of a crowd Viewed as a method of collective intelligence Essentials of crowdsourcing… Tutorial on crowdsourcing and examples, watch the video youtube.com/ watch?v = lXhydx S S N O Y

Major Types of Crowdsourcing Collective intelligence (or wisdom). People in crowds are solving problems and providing new insights. Crowd creation. People are creating various types of content and sharing it with others (for pay or free). Crowd voting. People are giving their opinions and ratings on ideas, products, or services, as well as evaluating and filtering information presented to them. Crowd support and funding. People are contributing and supporting endeavors for social or business causes, such as offering donations, and micro-financing new ventures.

The Process of Crowdsourcing (1 of 2) Identify the problem and the task(s) to be outsourced. Select the target crowd (if not an open call). Broadcast the task to the crowd. Engage the crowd in accomplishing the task (e.g., idea generation, problem solving). Collect user-generated content. Have the quality of submitted material evaluated by the management, by experts, or by a crowd. Select the best solution (or a short list). Compensate the crowd (e.g., the winning proposal). Implement the solution.

The Process of Crowdsourcing (2 of 2)

A I Support of Group Decision Making A major objective of A I is to automate decision making and/or to support its process A I can help in the following steps in the process: Meeting preparation Problem identification Idea generation Idea organization Group interaction and collaboration Predictions Multilingual group communications …

Swarm Intelligence and Swarm A I (1 of 2) Swarm intelligence refers to the collective behavior of decentralized, self organized systems, natural or artificial Such systems consist of things (e.g., ants, people) interacting with each other and their environment A swarm’s actions are not centrally controlled, but they lead to intelligent behavior In contrast with animals and other species whose interactions among group members are natural, people need technology to exhibit swarm intelligence Example - Oxford university study on english premier league Swarm A I technology Algorithms for creating the human swarm

Swarm Intelligence and Swarm A I (2 of 2) Swarm A I Predictions - Swarm A I was used by Unanimous A I for making predictions in difficult-to-assess situations. Examples include: Predicting Super Bowl #52 number of points scored Predicting winners in the regular N F L season. Predicting the top four finishers of the 2017 Kentucky Derby. Predicting the top recipients of the Oscars in 2018.

Concepts of Expert Systems ( E S) (1 of 6) E S is a computer-based information system Emulates the decision making and/or problem solving abilities of human experts in complex areas One of the earliest success application areas of A I Expert systems use started in research institutions in 1960s Goal – help nonexperts to make decisions and solve problems that usually require expertise Works well in narrowly defined domains

Concepts of Expert Systems ( E S) (2 of 6) Expert - A person who has the special knowledge, judgment, experience, and skills to provide sound advice and solve complex problems in a narrowly defined area. To be called an expert, one must be able to solve a problem and achieve a performance level that is significantly better than an average person An expert at one time or in one region may not be an expert in another time or region. E.g., a legal expert in New York is not a expert in Beijing Experts have expertise that can help solve problems and explain certain obscure phenomena only within a specific domain

Concepts of Expert Systems ( E S) (3 of 6) Typically, human experts are capable of doing the following: Recognizing and formulating a problem Solving a problem quickly and correctly Explaining a solution Learning from experience Restructuring knowledge Breaking rules and norms, if necessary Determining relevance and associations Can E S do these? Can a machine help a nonexpert perform like an expert? Real experts are rare and hard to find

Concepts of Expert Systems ( E S) (4 of 6) Expertise - The extensive, task-specific knowledge that experts possess. The level of expertise determines the success of a decision made by an expert. Expertise is often acquired through training, learning, and experience in practice. Expertise includes explicit knowledge, such as theories learned from a textbook or a classroom and implicit knowledge gained from experience.

Concepts of Expert Systems ( E S) (5 of 6) Knowledge types (expertise) used in E S applications Theories about the problem domain Rules and procedures regarding the general problem domain Heuristics about what to do in a given problem situation Global strategies for solving of problems amenable to expert systems Meta knowledge (i.e., knowledge about knowledge) Facts about the problem area These types of knowledge enable experts to make better and faster decisions than nonexperts .

Concepts of Expert Systems ( E S) (6 of 6) Expertise often includes the following characteristics: It is usually associated with a high degree of intelligence, but it is not always associated with the smartest person It is usually associated with a vast quantity of knowledge It is based on learning from past successes and mistakes It is based on knowledge that is well stored, organized, and quickly retrievable from an expert who has excellent recall of patterns from previous experiences.

Benefits of E S Perform routine tasks (e.g., diagnosis, candidate screening, credit analysis) that require expertise much faster than humans. Reduce the cost of operations. Improve consistency and quality of work, reduce human errors. Speed up decision making and make consistent decisions. May motivate employees to increase productivity. Preserve scarce expertise of retiring employees. Help transfer and reuse knowledge. Reduce employee training cost by using self-training. Solve complex problems without experts and solve them faster. See things that even experts sometimes miss. Combine expertise of several experts. Centralize decision making (e.g., by using the “cloud”). Facilitate knowledge sharing.

Structure and Process of E S Consultation Environment (use of E S via G U I) Development Environment Component of an E S Knowledge acquisition (from humans and others) Knowledge representation (if-then-else rules) Knowledge base (knowledge repository) Inference engine (control/search structure) User interface Justifier/explanation module Knowledge refinement system

General Architecture of an E S

Recommendation Systems Recommendation system, also known as recommender system or recommendation engine Recommending/suggesting one-to-one targeted products or services Predict the importance (rating or preference) that a user will attach to a product or service Based on the prediction, specific products and services are recommended to the user Top applications include movies, music, and books. However, there are also systems for travel, restaurants, insurance, and online dating.

Benefits of Recommendation Systems Benefits to customer: Personalization Discovery Customer satisfaction Reports Increased dialog with seller Benefits to seller: Higher conversion rate Increased cross-sell Increased customer loyalty Enabling mass customization

Methods for Recommendation Systems Collaborative filtering Building a model that summarizes the past behavior of shoppers in a multi-dimensional manner Makes recommendations on the new customers based on the similarity to previous shoppers Uses A I/machine learning to predict the preferences Content-based filtering Allows vendors to identify customer preferences by the attributes of the product(s) that customers have bought Recommend new products with similar attributes Several other filtering methods also exists

Chatbots Chatbots (chat robots) emerged in the last decade A computerized service that enables easy conversations between humans and humanlike computerized robots or image characters Some chatbots are equipped with N L P abilities for better understanding, and some with A I/machine learning for learning and improving Chatbot services are often available messaging services such as Facebook Messenger or WeChat , and on Twitter

Types of Bots Regular bots. These are essentially conversational intelligent agents (Chapter 2). They can do simple, usually repetitive, tasks for their owners, such as showing their bank’s debits, helping them to purchase goods online, and to sell or buy stocks online. Chatbots . In this category, we include more capable bots, for example, those that can stimulate conversations with people. Intelligent bots. These have a knowledge base that is improving with experience. That is, these bots can learn, for example, a customer’s preferences (e.g., like Alexa and some robo advisors).

Process of Chatting with a Chatbots

Chatbots Representative Chatbots from Around the World RoboCoke , Kip, Walnut, Taxi Bot, ShopiiBot , B O.T, Hazie , Green Card, Zoom, Akita, … For more, please see chatbots.org/ and botlist.co/bots/ Major Categories of Chatbots ’ Applications Chatbots for enterprise activities, including communication, collaboration, customer service, and sales (such as in the opening vignette) Chatbots that act as personal assistants Chatbots that act as advisors, mostly on finance-related topics These are explained in the following sections

Essentials of Internet of Things ( IoT ) (1 of 2) IoT refers to a computerized network that connects many objects (people, animals, devices, sensors, buildings, items) each with embedded microprocessor Connections are made wirelessly via Internet IoT allows communication and exchange of data among the object and their environment Connections are made anytime, anyplace IoT uses ubiquitous computing

Essentials of Internet of Things ( IoT ) (2 of 2) Analysts predicts that by 2025, more than 50 Billion objects (devices) will be connected to the Internet, creating the backbone of IoT applications It is a disruptive technology Changing the business models Join the conversations at iotcommunity.com Allows extensive communication and collaboration between users and items Devices can connect each other directly Increasing productivity and automation Unlimited use cases…

Definitions and Characteristics of IoT (1 of 3) “The Internet of Things means sensors connected to the Internet and behaving in an Internet-like way by making open, ad hoc connections, sharing data freely, and allowing unexpected applications, so computers can understand the world around them and become humanity’s nervous system.” Kevin Ashton, Creator of the term Internet of Things “The IoT is a network of connected computing devices including different types of objects (e.g., digital machines). Each object in the network has a unique identifier ( U I D), and it is capable of collecting and transferring data automatically across the network.” Our working definition

Definitions and Characteristics of IoT (2 of 3) IoT allows people and things to interact and communicate at any time, any place, regarding any business topic or service. IoT Characteristics (Miller, 2015) Large numbers of objects (things) can be connected. Each thing has a unique definition/ I D ( I P address). Each thing has the ability to receive, send, and store data automatically. Each thing is delivered mostly over the wireless Internet. Each thing is built upon machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. Internet connects people to each other using computing technology, while IoT connects “things” (physical devices and people) to each other and to sensors that collect data

IoT Ecosystem The IoT ecosystem refers to all components that enable users to create IoT applications E.g., gateways, analytics, A I algorithms, servers, data storage, security, and connectivity devices Platforms Software, hardware, connectivity, … Building blocks Interfaces, platforms, 3D, … Applications Personal, home, vehicle, industrial, enterprise See Figure 13.1 for a full picture of the IoT ecosystem

IoT Ecosystem Figure 13.1 The IoT 2016 (Ecosystem).

Structure of IoT Systems (1 of 2) IoT Technology Infrastructure (four major blocks) Hardware physical devices, sensors, and actuators where data are produced and recorded Connectivity Via hubs, gateways and Internet/Cloud) Software backend The logic/process implementation that manages data, often in the cloud) Applications The use of the generates data  information for some specific of purposes

Structure of IoT Systems (2 of 2) Figure 13.2 The Building Blocks of IoT . Implementations often utilize IoT Platforms Amazon A W S IoT , Microsoft Azure IoT suite, Predix IoT Platform by General Electric ( G E), I B M Watson IoT platform Teradata Unified Data Architecture

How IoT Works (1 of 2) IoT is not an application. It is an infrastructure, platform, or framework that is used to support applications. A simple view to hot IoT works: The Internet ecosystem includes a large number of things Sensors and other devices collect information from the ecosystem The collected information can be displayed, stored, and processed analytically (e.g., by data mining) This analysis converts the information into knowledge and/or intelligence Expert systems or machine learning may help in turning the knowledge into decision support (made by people and/or machines), which is evidenced by improved actions and results… leading to new applications and use cases.

How IoT Works (2 of 2) Figure 13.3 The Process of IoT .

Sensors and Their Role in IoT How Sensors Work with IoT In large-scale applications, sensors collect data that are transferred to processing in the “cloud” Sensor Applications and Radio-Frequency Identification ( R F I D) Sensors Sensors can measure many things: humidity, temperature, etc. A well-known type of sensor that plays an important role in IoT is radio-frequency identification R F I D in conjunction with other sensors play a major role in IoT applications

Technology Insight 13.1 R F I D Sensors R F I D - a generic technology that uses of radio-frequency waves to identify objects Part of a family of automatic identification technologies that also includes ubiquitous barcodes and magnetic strips R F I S stores richer identification data Use of R F I D spread by retailers’ supply-chains R F I D works with tags and readers Active vs passive tags (long/short range)

Use of R F I D and Smart Sensors in IoT Basic R F I D tags, active or passive, are not sensors Purpose: determine the location of the object, couple it with the time of detection R F I D sensors – tags enhanced with on-board sensors Purpose: determine the location, time, and measurements of the environmental conditions Smart Sensor - Senses the environment and processes the input it collects by using its built-in computing capabilities

Smart Homes and Appliances A smart home is a home with automated components that are interconnected such as lights, appliances, security, and entertainment that are able to communicate each other Designed to provide their dwellers with comfort, security, low energy cost, and convenience Most existing home are not smart, but the can inexpensively be equipped with partial smartness See techterms.com\definition\ smart_home Protocols: X I O, U P B, Z-Wave, EnOcean , … These products offer scalability, so more devices can be connected

Smart Homes and Appliances Typical Components of Smart Homes Lighting and T V Energy management (e.g., Nest) Water control ( watercop.com ) Smart speaker and chatbots (e.g., Alexa ) Home entertainment Alarm clock Vacuum cleaner Camera Refrigerator (and other appliances) Home security and safety …

The Components of a Smart Home

Smart Homes and Appliances Example: iHealthHome Provides real-time information to caregivers and physicians (and loved ones) Reminds seniors of daily appointments and when to take their medicine Smart appliances are appliances enhanced with sensor and communication technologies They comminute with other devises and people through the home network and Internet Google Nest, and other Nest products ( nest.com ) Popular kits for smart homes include Amazon Eco, Google Home

Smart Cities and Factories Smart cities use digital technologies (mostly mobile based) to facilitate better public services for citizens, better utilization of resources, and less negative environmental impact. Smart Buildings: From Automated to Cognitive Buildings I B M’s Cognitive Building learns the behavior of a building’s system in order to optimize it Doing so autonomously by integrating with the IoT devices and sensors Uses IoT and sensors to monitor, analytics to learn, robots to act …

Smart Building - Example Figure 13.5 I B M’s Cognitive Building Maturity Framework. Hong Kong has a project called a smart mobility for the improvement of road safety.
