In conversation: Allen Higgins and Anabela Soares I am delighted to be joined today by Anabela Da Silva Filipe Soares. Anabela is a Senior Lecturer in Strategy & Operations Management at the University of the West of England and a member of the Business Analytics Educators Forum. · To start, Analytics educators come from all kinds of professions. Can you share a little about your own background and your perspective on data analytics? · How is analytics used in your original profession’s day-to-day work? [e.g. accounting, sociology, psychology, marketing, economics, engineering, computing, medical specialism, etc.] · And how is analytics used in academic research? · Can you talk a little about how academic research differs from industry research? · How does analytics influence research design? · What do people mean by “good quality data”? How do you produce good quality data? · As a self-declared 'questionnaire geek' can you share three tips for someone designing a questionnaire? · To close out the interview... What are your favorite podcasts or video channels? · And, can you share a geeky secret? Well, we’ll wrap up there. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us today.
