BUSINESS SCIENTISTS - the future. Get ready for Data Nerds and Computer Nerds to control the future of Business !!!

A scientist is defined as "a person engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. A scientist is an individual who uses the scientific method. The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science." 

Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms.

I wish the word "Business Scientist" was more popular. Of course, we have the terms "Business Research", "Business Analytics", "Business Intelligence", and "Business Science" - but not "Business Scientist" in popular usage.

Here is a nice article about a Business Scientist called "Are you a Business Scientist?": http://www.gr-us.com/are-you-a-business-scientist/

Here is a nice article: "Is starting / running a business an art or a science?": http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/222795

Here is an article about Data Scientists: http://blogs.cio.com/business-intelligence/17184/desperately-seeking-data-scientists

Here is one more article glorifying Data Scientists - with regards to how number crunching improved LinkedIn business model: http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/it/is-data-scientist-the-sexiest-job-of-our-time

One thing is for sure - Mathematics and computers will play a large role in businesses in the future. Ignore at your own peril. People who are not data-savvy and computer-savvy may have difficulty in the future. These are days when computers fly planes and surgeons with robotics can perform surgery from a different continent, and drone in Asia can be controlled from the desert iin North America real-time, and computers invest in stock markets skimming cents (High Frequency Trading) and dollars in multitude, and making money. These are the days when a computer and machine can solve the rubix cube in seconds (Rubix Cube Solver Robot). The bottom line - Business Scientists are the future - are you ready for the future?!
