Abstract:
|
Due to our ever expanding, data-driven society, the availability and quantity of data to decision-making people in the business sector is growing rapidly. The emergence of the field of analytics has started a culture shift in how businesses view the role of the data analyst. This roundtable will discuss some of the current issues by both industry and academia to adjust to this changing culture. Topics to be discussed may include: the new role of the data analyst, the expectations of companies for business focused statisticians, academia's preparation of students for this changing field, and options for students to be prepared for this new culture of analytics.
