Data analysis
In his study of the data revolution in international development, Social Sciences Professor at UC Davis, Martin Hilbert, argued that the natural next step from information societies, fueled by ICT, since the late 1990s are knowledge societies informed by Big Data analysis. Decision-making informed by big data analysis has improved both efficiency and productivity in the developed world. Hilbert examines the challenges and potential of the data revolution on "the unruly world of international development."
