I came across this question on a job portal and wanted to ask you all. So far, I haven’t read any business-related books.
Can you recommend any useful business books that might benefit someone pursuing a career in data science? Do they provide any insights that could help with preparing for a data science interview?
The book Moneyball tells the story of how they do it, but its main focus is on how to model something that is perceived as highly subjective (talent scouting).
In our line of business, knowing how to measure and model things is really helpful.
“Thinking in Systems” by Donella Meadows is a book about how to understand and study complicated systems. It’s a useful skill for data scientists who need to understand how data fits into a bigger business picture.
