Synopsis

Data is the new oil, and data science is the key to leveraging this new natural resource. At the center of The Data Resource, Angela Teng puts forth two core frameworks designed to galvanize organizations to foster a data science competency as well as inspire individuals to leverage the power of data science. Through a combination of interviews, research, and anecdotes, Teng empowers a more heterogeneous cohort of data scientists and encourages the exploration of technological innovations in emerging countries. Inside, you will learn how data science applies to a variety of industries -- including healthcare, transportation, and agriculture -- as well as what impact your data has on the economy. The Data Resource was written with leaders in government, technology companies, and academic institutions in mind, as well as aspiring data scientists and individuals who are interested in unlocking the potential of the field. See real evidence of the impact of data science on emerging markets and learn how to harness it as the asset that it is.
