On this episode of Columbia Bizcast we’re back in the classroom to learn about Analytics in Action, an innovative master class that brings together MBA and engineering students with representatives from companies such as Viacom and Citigroup to solve real business problems in real time.
Now in its third year, Analytics in Action reflects Dean Costis Maglaras’s initiative to bring together a diverse set of thought leaders from across Columbia’s campus. Following a visit to class, we talked with professors Daniel Guetta and Brett Martin about the history and value of the class and with MBA student Michael Rodio and engineering student Sanjana Rosario, who shared their perspectives and the lessons they learned after analyzing problems from each other’s point of view.
