| "Shaping Work of the Future" |
| "Are you concerned about the impact of new technologies will have on the workforce? Are you interested in what you can do to build a better work for yourself and the next generation? If we take the right actions, we can shape the future of work in ways that meet the needs of workers, families, and their economies and societies. To do so, we first have to understand how work is changing, how firms can prosper and support good jobs and careers, and how to update the policies, institutions, and practices governing the world of work. The goal of this course is to understand the relationship between new technologies, work and society and develop plans of action for improving the job and career opportunities for today and tomorrow's workforce. We'll start by looking at the challenges we face today and in the near future in regards to globalization and technology change, as well as the unique opportunities that they present. Then we will take a deep dive into the history of work and employment to understand how the it affects us today, as well as to look at solutions that worked well in response to similar problems. We'll look at the impact advances in technology are having across industries, and the ways in which these technologies are transforming the nature of human work and skills needed. We will explore ways in which we as a society can and should shape and catalyze these new technologies to complement and augment human work, rather than replace it. We'll also take you on a personal journey, where you will learn what employers expect in today's world of work--the skills, flexibility, and knowledge that are crucial for success in the contemporary workplace. We'll examine what has to happen in order for employers, workers, governments, and educators to come together to forge new policies, rules, and understandings for governing the world of work in the 21st century, and together as a class forge a new social contract of work as well as a personal action plan to implement it. Many colleagues and groups around the world share our deep concern for these issues and are studying how to address them in their specific settings. We invite each of you to join us and to share your insights and ideas about how we can make work, work better for all in the years ahead. In this spirit we will draw on our own expert group here--ourMIT Task Force on Work of the Future. Together we can make a difference for the next generation workforce, our economies, and our societies."

| "El núcleo del Diseño de Modelo de Negocios se encuentra en las habilidades y liderazgo del manager emprendedor. Requiere un enfoque disciplinado para buscar oportunidades, asi como reunir y alinear recursos para alcanzar objetivos importantes. En este curso, los alumnos fortaleceran dos habilidades importantes: la intuición y el pensamiento visual, a la vez que aplican métodos cuantitativos aprendidos en otros cursos, como Finanzas, Economía e Inteligencia Financiera. El enfoque de este curso se encuentra en cuatro pilares: La observación como un elemento clave para descubrir patrones de negocios. La organización de la complejidad, el arte de la síntesis usando pensamiento visual, mapeo y diseño de sistemas. El concepto de espacio en blanco como las ""actividades potenciales no definidas o mencionadas en el modelo de negocios actual"". Storytelling y establecer contacto. La observación es un aspecto clave para descubrir patrones de negocios. Los alumnos aprenderan, a traves de distintos casos y metodologias -algunos ya vistos-, como identificar los elementos clave de un modelo de negocios. Esto incluye la naturaleza de una empresa de negocios integrada en la que definimos el Modelo de Negocios. ¿Qué sería diferente si los managers pensaran como diseñadores? Aunque mucha gente de negocios aprecia el poder del diseño, un proceso formal para practicarlo había sido elusivo: hasta ahora. En este curso, la meta es encontrar la manera de organizar la complejidad, el arte de la síntesis usando pensamiento visual, mapeo y diseño de sistemas, para conectar elementos tan distintos como las ideas, recursos, transacciones, valores y redes. De acuerdo con Mark Johnson, el espacio en blanco se refiere a ""las actividades potenciales no definidas o mencionadas en el modelo de negocios actual de la compañia; esto es, las oportunidades que existen fuera de su núcleo y mas alla de sus adyacencias, y que requieren un modelo de negocio distinto para poder aprovecharlas"". Un componente importante del Diseño e Innovacion del Modelo de Negocios es el Storytelling y establecer contacto. Usar la tecnologia para conectarse con la audiencia es clave. Como parte de los entregables a calificar, los líderes emprendedores deben saber sobre medios sociales y los contenidos impulsados por tecnología, concentrando ambos en modelar la manera de usar estas tecnologías para conectarse y comunicarse con otros y como lograr pasion a traves de redes."

You can better retain R when you learn it to solve a specific problem, so you'll use a real-world dataset about crime in the United States. You will learn the R skills needed to answer essential questions about differences in crime across the different states. We'll cover R's functions and data types, then tackle how to operate on vectors and when to use advanced functions like sorting. You'll learn how to apply general programming features like ""if-else,"" and ""for loop"" commands, and how to wrangle, analyze and visualize data. Rather than covering every R skill you might need, you'll build a strong foundation to prepare you for the more in-depth courses later in the series, where we cover concepts like probability, inference, regression, and machine learning. We help you develop a skill set that includes R programming, data wrangling with dplyr, data visualization with ggplot2, file organization with UNIX/Linux, version control with git and GitHub, and reproducible document preparation with RStudio.

You will learn concepts necessary to define estimates and margins of errors and learn how you can use these to make predictions relatively well and also provide an estimate of the precision of your forecast. Once you learn this you will be able to understand two concepts that are ubiquitous in data science: confidence intervals, and p-values. Then, to understand statements about the probability of a candidate winning, you will learn about Bayesian modeling.

The motivation for this course is the circumstances surrounding the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Part of what caused this financial crisis was that the risk of some securities sold by financial institutions was underestimated. To begin to understand this very complicated event, we need to understand the basics of probability. We will introduce important concepts such as random variables, independence, Monte Carlo simulations, expected values, standard errors, and the Central Limit Theorem. These statistical concepts are fundamental to conducting statistical tests on data and understanding whether the data you are analyzing is likely occurring due to an experimental method or to chance. Probability theory is the mathematical foundation of statistical inference which is indispensable for analyzing data affected by chance, and thus essential for data scientists."

Rarely are all these wrangling steps necessary in a single analysis, but a data scientist will likely face them all at some point. Very rarely is data easily accessible in a data science project. It's more likely for the data to be in a file, a database, or extracted from documents such as web pages, tweets, or PDFs. In these cases, the first step is to import the data into R and tidy the data, using the tidyverse package. The steps that convert data from its raw form to the tidy form is called data wrangling. This process is a critical step for any data scientist. Knowing how to wrangle and clean data will enable you to make critical insights that would otherwise be hidden."
