Digital Transformation From Data Science

In this chapter, concepts of data science definition and market business agility with strong support of digital transformation paradigm are discussed. The intention is to provide the reader with a consistent, proposedly not finished view of this powerful, actual, and potential association, which presents a new fashion for entrepreneurship, leading also to organizational changes which imply, in their way, a redefinition of professional works, technology application, risk and project management, and strategic planning. The chapter describes these concepts, develops their relationships, and leaves an “open door” for the reader to perceive not only the conceptual application for competitive scenario description, but also as an associative and integrative methodology to be used, beyond other perspectives, to appreciate the evolution of the context developed by the chapter itself, updating it in the time ahead. In the final part of the text, study cases are discussed as to affirm chapter objectives, findings, and proposed integrative base.
