In these environments, human beings interact with information in various ways. This unit introduces principles of cognitive science relevant to understanding how human beings process information and make decisions. In addition, the unit presents relevant frameworks to understand what information really is. Understanding both of these aspects is necessary for modern organizations to be able to exploit their data for effective decision making.
