Snappy Data Management

Hands-on Data Management and Artificial Intelligence Lessons for Business and Social Science Students

About the Book

It's clear that the world is changing due to the widespread adoption of data-driven decision making and artificial intelligence. Snappy Data Management is designed for “non-technical” people who want a hands-on introduction to data and the way it is changing the world.

This book introduces readers to emerging topics related to data in organizations and teaches 11 lessons using Excel, Tableau, ArcGIS, and the Python Pandas data science environment. The book's approach is to succinctly blend cutting-edge academic research related to digital transformation and business-world know-how in a way that is accessible to a general audience.
