Book cover of 失控的數據:數字管理的誤用與濫用,如何影響我們的生活與工作,甚至引發災難
by 傑瑞‧穆勒(Jerry Z. Muller), 張國儀(Gloria Chang)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: July 1, 2019

錯誤的量化評鑑正逐漸扭曲我們的認知, 成為操弄人心的手法! ★ 諾貝爾經濟學獎得主喬治‧艾克羅夫 大師推薦 ★ 哈佛商學院院長拉凱許‧古拉納 強力推薦 ★ 2019年海耶克圖書獎決選入圍 醫院拚三十天內的術後存活率,於是想盡方法讓病人活到第三十一天才過世?! 銀行集團拚業績,竟演變成集體詐欺案,造假、盜用客戶個資樣樣來**?!** 警方為降低犯罪率,可能淪為大案不抓、專查小案,好讓數字更漂亮**?!** 大學教員犧牲研究、教學時間,製作各式厚重卻未必有人認真看的評鑑資料**?!** 慈善組織為達公開透明的標準,反而陷入「低支出」、「高產值」的惡性循環**?!** 企業為滿足季營收目標,改將資源轉移到短期項目上,擱置長期發展計畫**?!** 這些案例若令你感到荒謬,別笑,它們都是現在進行式。 在許多情況下,根據標準化評量來做出決策,確實比根據個人經驗與專業所做的判斷要好得多。然而世人對於數字管理和量化數據,已經到了盲信的地步,不僅常忽略數據背後的演算法是否合理,也往往無視這些指標到底有沒有實質意義。 傑瑞‧穆勒教授透過本書,解析人們沉迷量化評鑑機制帶來的後果,書中整理醫療、教育、企業、政府、軍警、金融投資、慈善事業等不同領域的案例,帶領讀者了解數據的誤用如何影響、甚至宰制了我們的生活。比方說,當我們太在乎醫院的開刀成功率時,是否變相造成重症病人被拒收的悲劇?當我們太過相信「好的績效必須立即可見」時,反而助長短視主義,長遠規劃可能被評為效益不彰,而沒有人想做? 作者並非反對使用數據,而是指出我們不該忘記,數據是用來輔助我們做判斷的工具,不是直接替代專業經驗的資訊,書末並提供何時和如何使用指標的提醒。對於活在大數據時代的我們來說,想從數字管理中受益不受害,本書值得借鑑並做為警惕。 各界推薦 黃益中(公民教師、《思辨》作者)、 黃捷(高雄市議員)、 萬惡的人力資源主管(作家)、 齊立文(《經理人月刊》總編輯)、 歐陽立中(作家‧教師)、 顏聖紘(中山大學生物學系副教授)、 顏擇雅(出版人‧作家)、 蘇書平(先行智庫/為你而讀執行長) ──共同推薦 穆勒真實再現「數字評估」造成的種種危害,不管是在學校、醫院、軍隊以及商場中,本書指出一個重大的問題。──喬治‧艾克羅夫(George...
