Business problems need to be jointly addressed by managers and data analysts. Decisions based on analytics need to be made by managers, which they can do only if they understand the data science tools and techniques. Generally, the programmes offered in this domain have focused more on some specific tools and techniques while the business context in which these tools have been applied have received less attention. Hence, a comprehensive programme that focuses both on business knowledge and technical expertise is needed. The IIT and IIMs ‘Master’s in Data Science and Management’ programme will provide better education to future data scientists. The programme will cover general concepts on algorithms, data structures, big data infrastructure, big data analytics life cycle, data security and management, contemporary management thoughts including behavior elements.
