Registration link:
https://okstate.libcal.com/calendar/events/cadresympsbb
The OSU Spears School of Business recognizes that business
schools are change makers for students, businesses and society.
Data and statistics are important when it comes to establishing
successful businesses.
Researchers within Spears Business are using big data and
data analytics to not only address business challenges,
but to put that research to use for the greater good.
During this symposium, Spears Business faculty will present
on how they are using digital research to create impact on
business and society.
Using social media sites and online web advertising,
researchers are gathering data that can shape everything from
foodservice operations to human trafficking patterns.
The new Spears Center for Social and Business Impact is
intentionally focusing on how more of this research can be
done to have a positive impact on Oklahoma and the
surrounding region.
Discussion will be modified by Dr. Rebecca Eastham, Director, Spears Center for Social and Business Impact
Panelists:
Dr. Miriam McGaugh, School of Marketing & International Business
- Understanding Patterns of Human Trafficking
Dr. Willie Tao, School of Hospitality & Tourism
- Using Big Data in the Foodservice Context
Dr. Matthew Rutherford and Dr. Duygu Phillips,
School of Entrepreneurship
- New Venture Social Media Legitimacy

Data Bytes - Using Open Science Framework for Project Management
Wednesday, March 2nd 3:30-5:00 pm
Registration link:
https://okstate.libcal.com/calendar/events/osf
Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free, open source web
application developed to help researchers of all disciplines
(not just science) manage their workflows.
OSF provides a highly customizable interface, allowing users to
create modules for housing data, research materials,
communication, analysis files, and more.
The system has automatic, built-in version control for all
files and integrates with tools researchers already use such
as Dropbox, Google Drive and GitHub.
It also gives you the means to add contributors with various
levels of read/write permissions.
This interactive workshop will take you through the process
of creating an OSF project, connecting to external services,
adding contributors, and will demonstrate several use cases
and examples.

using the popular GitHub platform for collaboration.
We will describe the mechanics of pull requests, forking,
resolving conflicts, and other GitHub functions.

projects.
