Considering the Data Analytics Revolution and Lessons for Christian Business Faculty

Abstract

Data is playing an increasingly important role in business. The demand for skilled data analysts and data scientists is growing rapidly. In response, universities and colleges are creating new programs to meet the swelling demand and distinctively Christian universities and colleges, too, are adding programs in data analytics. This paper comments on the trend toward data-driven decision making and offers both exhortation and caution to Christian educators and practitioners moving in this direction.
