In the 3rd seminar, the professor talked about the wisdom of crowds. From James' research, it shows individual may behave different if they are in a team, because they have more consideration such as the role and responsibility in the team. when i took the subject "human resource management", it introduced the topic of organisation behaviour which briefly mention this kind of group phenomenon as well...
whether group performance is better or worse than the individuals, i think it is case by case. The professor gave 2 examples which illustrate that the more people from different background may have different perspective and considerations, and the overall decision can be more balanced with minimized individual bias. in this scenario, the collective wisdom outperforms individuals.
But if the status of group member is not equal, what they say may not be what they think. this reservation and distortion of their true think can severely undermine the wisdom of crowds. when more people are in a team, the effectiveness and efficiency of implementing a task are likely reduced significantly.
as technology is progressing so fast, it generates lots of business opportunity. this course teaches us to be visionary enough to discover and seize these opportunity, and try to implement it to generate profit. For example, the mobile-commerce, it can provide customized service. the main point is that from their movements, it can predict customer's need, and initiate value-added information and services to enhance customers' satisfactory. many new ideas from the professor really interested me very much. although it still have some technical difficulties and cooperation barriers to apply them in real business right now, it outlines the future development of this industry. as the competition between all the inform-communication companies are intense, only the one mastering and provideing mobile-services can stand out and survive in this mature market.
