Business education, Operations Research, Data Science, Management ScienceAbstract
The business students are usually related with the social sciences; however, a more competitive world demands professionals with a formation highly oriented towards competitivity and efficiency; and that implies a higher capacity of harnessing numerical and computational methods that quantitatively support the decision-making process. In this paper an area of opportunity for the decision-making process, cornerstone of management, is identified as demanded at international level and an academic proposition is presented to broaden the opportunities of the future professionals of business. The goal of this research is to expose an analysis that raise awareness in those responsible of the education of business students about the validity of the need for those students to be competent in take advantage of numerical and computational methods that sustain and expedite the decision-making process to achieve efficient and well informed decisions.
