Welcome to MAD

Professor David Pauleen, Dr. Nazim Taskin, A/Prof. Shane Scahill and Dr. Ali Intezari founded the special interest group called ‘Management, Analytics and Decision-Making’ (MAD) from the School of Management, Massey Business School at Massey University, which now includes Professor David Pauleen, Professor James Arrowsmith, Dr. Kasuni Weerasinghe, Dr. Shafiq Alam, Dr. Christine Tan, Dr. Gloria Liu, two PhD students, New Zealand, twenty former PhD students, and international associate members.

The focus of our research is to understand the human dimension of community and business computing; the adoption and diffusion of technology within society and the effect of the digital divide.

A few of our most recent projects include:

• Evaluating the effects big data, analytics, and related technologies may have on managerial decision making
• Examining how managers think big data and analytics can be used in individual and organizational decision making, and how managers use (or do not use) analytics in their current decision making
• Developing undergraduate, graduate and professional courses in management, analytics and decision-making
