1st Speaker: He (Heather) He, "The Demand and Development of Business Data Analysts: Evidence from Current Job Market and Business Schools in the UK"
Data Analytics (DA) is an integral part of planning and decision-making in business. This study focuses on the UK market and business schools. It discusses the background of DA, the demand for trained DA professionals, and the provision of DA curricula in universities. The study attempts to identify the gap between the skills that the business institutes are looking for and the skills that business schools are helping graduates obtain before making suggestions for developing the business DA curriculum.

Prior to this position, Heather was a doctoral researcher at the Centre for Risk Research, University of Southampton, UK. Her research interests are so far focused on (i) applied data science for finance & business analytics, (ii) behavioural risk-taking & decision-making, and (iii) financial technologies. Heather’s research work has been presented at international conferences and workshops including INFORMS and ACM International Conference on AI in Finance (ICAIF). Heather has interests and a track record in developing and delivering data science and business analytics programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
