White Paper: Cameron’s Coffee
In the final section, we will cover technology and communication. The Signature Assignment is a culmination of the previous seven weeks.
Big Data is gaining momentum due to emerging technologies such as Cloud Computing, analytics engines, and social networks. Big Data refers to volumes of data, which are so massive that a conventional database system cannot process it. Analyzing Big Data can reveal hidden insights such as what influences customers to purchase. When Facebook offers a recommendation to you, it comes from analyzing Big Data. Big Data is associated with Cloud Computing because analyzing the data must be done instantly from many sources and requires the distributed processing capability of the Internet. Big Data and Cloud Computing, as with most trends, have pros and cons (strengths and weaknesses).
Social media is one of the fastest growing areas in marketing. Experts affirm the importance of a strong social media presence in building an organization’s reputation and customer base. The “Big Three” social media networks are: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Other growing social media platforms and services include Flickr, Pinterest, Instagram, and Yelp, among others.
According to Jacquelyn Smith at Forbes.com, two of the fastest growing careers from 2014 through 2020 are market research analysts and marketing specialists, second in growth only to software developers. As cited in Smith’s (2012) article, “According to the BLS, these professionals “study market conditions in local, regional, or national areas to examine potential sales of a product or service” (para. 9). They also help companies understand and identify the products people want, who will buy them, and at what price. Additionally, the BLS notes that top research positions often require a master’s degree. This profession is expected to grow by 41 percent between 2010 and 2020.
