Introduction.
Data science is the process of transforming data into information with different levels of details depending on the audience of that data. E.g. data science includes interpreting business rules into system requirements, modelling the data for development teams.
Data scientists have these main roles: data architecture, data acquisition, data analysis, and data archiving. (Stanton, 2012: 4)
Generally speaking any information system has four main stakeholders and they are: Client (The person who’s funding the project), development team, users (usually the client’s employees), project manager, and the executive management of the developing company.
Each of the above mentioned stakeholders need to know some information about and/or

According to (Microsoft, 6) application lifecycle has five stages, which are: requirement gathering, design, development, testing, and maintenance. Here I will be describing how data science is involved in these stages.
In system development data scientist deal with data from the earliest stages of system development i.e. analysing and converting business rules into system requirements.
As stated above that information has different levels of details for different audience, at this stage the level of detail would be broad/technical enough for system development team i.e. technical audience. This level of detail will include analysis diagrams like use case diagrams, Entity Relation Diagram, State diagram etc.
E.g. from a business rule that states that a customer can purchase item(s) data scientists can draw this UML use

According to (Philip, 2013) data science work flow consists of four main phases which are: preparation, analysis, reflection and dissemination.
Preparation:
The preparation phase encapsulate two sub-phases in it.
Acquire data: As presented on the image above the first step on the preparation phase is to acquire data. As simple as this task sounds like in reality it can be very complex and time consuming. One of the most important things to consider when acquiring data is how reliable that data and is it up to date. In system development data scientists usually perform this task by questionnaires, interviews, watching user performing their daily tasks, observing how the previous/current system works.
Reformat and clean data: As presented on the introduction that data is usually prepared for different audiences and depending on the audience data has to be presented up to a certain degree of detail. On this stage raw data might almost be meaningless or misleading to a programmer because it would probably be missing lot of required technical details such as entities. Data scientists reformat and clean data by writing scripts and/or convert business rules to system requirements using analysis diagrams such as UML
1. 1. Data scrubbing is which of the following? A. A process to reject data from the data warehouse and to create the necessary indexes B.
One of biggest roadblock that companies have to face is to invest a lot of money on implementing a software system and have employees ignore it and keep trying to do the task in their own way. This the reason why the provider that you choose for implementing your software have to be a natural fit for the organization. If the owners and employees have the same passion and understanding of the product that they would implement the result would be a success (Phillips, 2016).
In developing a database, one of the first things one must know is how the database(DB) will be used within the organization. Seconda,y what type of data will be required to develop the database and how it will enhance productivity and reliability to the organization. All the information is gathered in the first phase of the database life cycle, which is planning. In the planning phase, you are gathering information on the need, cost and feasibility of the database within the organization. Also within this phase you would look to see if there are databases within the organization that can meet the requirements.
Task 6 Evaluate the influence different stakeholders exert in one organisation. In this task, I’ll be evaluating how the different stakeholders will influence Sainsbury’s. Within Sainsbury’s it has many stakeholder which includes customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, competitors, governments, trade union and local and national communities. Also, from the list I’ve made above this lead me to ranking each stakeholders from 1 to 8 and their importance to the business.
One is to “articulate the research problem and objectives”. Two is to “develop the overall research plan”. Three is to “collect the data or information”. Four is to “analyze the data or information”. Five is to “present or disseminate the findings”.
In this assignment I am going to discuss the stakeholders of two contrasting businesses. Stakeholders of Cancer Research- Owners- For a charity the owners of the business will eventually want the firm to expand and grow over a certain amount of years, this will lead to the firm becoming more recognised and they can offer their service not just nationally but internationally.
The stakeholders that are part of this issue would include the employees who's records have been accesses, the employees that accessed the records, the IT administrator, as well as the company its self. Human resources, if the company has a human resources department, as well as upper management while not directly connected to the issue are also included as stakeholders since they will be included as part of the solution, and the people that employees that had their information accessed will hold accountable.
The who can be considered anyone, starting from the top of the organization right down to the customers, or even the owner of the building (Kubasek, 2012, pp. 24). Therefore, Chris and the representative of Novelty Now should have gotten with all the relevant stakeholders, so they could have evaluated all the different aspects that the substitute chemical could have on the public safety. The values, or the purpose of the decision, is the goal of making good decisions, and what the decision seeks to obtain. Even though the substitute chemical did not require the FDC approval however, being up front and honest with all the stakeholders will go a long ways. Therefore, Novelty now should have implemented the “Golden Rule, that we all should interact with other people the way that we would like them to interact toward us”(Kubasek, 2012, pp. 26).
This detailed design should be easily converted to programming logic. It is at this stage the technology specifications for implementing the solution, logical structure of the application, design of WebPages, database designs etc are finalized. Test plans and test cases for the application are devised at this stage. Implementation phase – 5 weeks This stage involves implementing the design documentation using the technologies and platforms decided .For
In this assignment I am going to discuss the stakeholders of two contrasting business’. Sainsbury’s: One important stakeholder is owners. The owners of Sainsbury’s they have it in their best interest to make the business as successful as possible by setting aims and objectives for themselves and their employees. They want to make the most profit they possibly can whilst keeping their customers and suppliers happy.
Computers permit large amounts of data to be stored, either on the computer's hard disk or in portable diskettes. Data Manipulation and Processing Data manipulation and processing are performed to obtain useful information from data previously entered into the system. Data manipulation embraces two types of operations: operations needed to remove errors and update current data sets and operations using analytical techniques to answer specific questions formulated by the user. The manipulation process can range from the simple overlay of two or more maps to a complex extraction of disparate pieces of information from a wide variety of sources. Data Output Data output refers to the display or presentation of data employing commonly used output formats that include maps, graphs, reports, tables, and charts, either as a hard-copy, as an image on the screen, or as a text file that can be carried into other software programs for further analysis.
Every stake holders has its own needs and demands from the organization. Every stakeholder which are directly attached to the company requires the information as it required and his role. These are the persons, groups or other company which have legitimate interest in the company and its functions. These persons or the group directly or indirectly communicate with the company. Stake holder analysis is done below to understand the needs and demands of the stakeholders.
3. Stakeholders: Definition:A person, group or organisation that has interest or concern in an organisation. Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the organisation 's actions, objectives and policies. Some examples of key stakeholders are creditors, directors, employees, government (and its agencies), owners (shareholders), suppliers, unions, and the community from which the business draws its resources. Not all stakeholders are equal.
Ethical Issues in Child Labor What is Child Labor? Child labor is work that children should not be doing, work that may harm their health and keeps them without education. While working children have no time for attending schools and get education that is the most important thing for their future life and success.
Altinay and Miles (as cited by Appiah, 2016) suggested that stakeholders are a uniform group who display individual forms of stakeholder relationships. Many theorists have identified stakeholder groups, along with the expectations they hold according to Connolly; Johnson & Scholes; Kuratko,
