The master in Data Science of Politecnico di Bari has been established to meet the growing demand from the industrial world of Data Scientist: experts in data science. The Data Scientist is a figure at the crossroads of computer, legal, managerial and economic skills. The data are at the heart of the current economic revolution. They have become a fundamental corporate resource and corporate leaders want to know how much information they hold is worth. But their value is linked to the way they are used and by whom. A data cannot produce anything or can provide the key to starting a new product line or solving a scientific question. It could only affect a small percentage of a company’s revenue today, but it could be a growth engine in the future.
Generally speaking, companies report that finding the right talent in the Data Science world is the greatest obstacle they face in an attempt to integrate data and analysis into their existing operations. In a recent McKinsey & Company survey, about half of the managers of different geographical areas and sectors have reported greater difficulty in recruiting analytical talents than covering any other role.
