From data mining to big data

In the past few years, data mining has become a popular area in the field of information management. Now big data has shared the charm of data mining.  If you are interested in big data, the Harvard Business Review has very interesting discussion. Here are the examples:

McAfee, Andrew & Brynjolfsson, Erik (December, 2012). Big data: The management revolution (cover story). Harvard Business Review, 90(10), 60-68.

Davenport, Thomas & Patil, D.J. (October, 2012). Data scientist: The sexiest job of the 21st century. Harvard Business Review, 90(10), 70-76.

I won't be surprised to see that iSchool offers course on big data very soon!
