The conference seeks answers to the following questions: Do effective management decisions come from experience, intuition, genes or from analytical data-driven approaches? Supposedly, it takes nearly 10 thousand hours of practice and learning to gain expert knowledge and skills. Can such experience be replaced by scientific analysis of big data, personality traits, or psychology in decision making?
