Summary
With the rise in data science development, we now have many remarkable techniques and tools to extend data analysis from numeric and categorical data to textual data. Sifting through the open-ended responses from a survey, for example, was an arduous process when performed by hand. Using a case study approach, this book was written for business analysts who wish to increase their skills in extracting answers for text data in order to support business decision making. Most of the exercises use Excel, today's most common analysis tool, and R, a popular analytic computer environment. The techniques covered range from the most basic text analytics, such as key word analysis, to more sophisticated techniques, such as topic extraction and text similarity scoring. Companion files with numerous datasets are included for use with case studies and exercises. FEATURES: Organized by tool or technique, with the basic techniques presented first and the more sophisticated techniques presented laterUses Excel and R for datasets in case studies and exercisesFeatures the CRISP-DM data mining standard with early chapters for conducting the preparatory steps in data miningCompanion files with numerous datasets and figures from the text.The companion files are available online by emailing the publisher with proof of purchase at info@merclearning.com.

Summary
This book provides much-needed guidance in making sound business decisions for the business leader or decision maker, especially investment appraisal practitioners such as strategic planners, business analysts, financial partners, and supply chain experts. By "supply chain", the authors mean the network of retailers, distributors, transporters, storage facilities and suppliers that participate in the sale, delivery and production of a particular product. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of decision making under uncertainty and the forces driving the business. A gap in the current knowledge is then discovered as it arises from an analysis of the profitability indicators that are currently being used. With hands-on experience in decision making within the supply chain environment, and coupled with leading-edge mathematical and business formulations, the authors propose how to enrich quantitative and qualitative decision-making measures. This further leads to a decision-making framework and process, supported by a ready-to-use tool (PADOVA).

Summary
The book is structured around a series of "lessons" for unlocking and applying swarm creativity in organizations to build greater creativity, productivity, and efficiency. It explains how to harness an organization's natural ability to self-organize new processes spontaneously, and explains the traits that characterize collaborative members and community behavior. For business, these processes can result in successful development of products in R & D through lead-user innovation; better customer relationships by finding influencers and early adaptors; and better project management processes by finding gatekeepers and hidden leaders. The applications transcend sectors and organizations. It is about finding what is "cool" and putting that to productive use, whether by a small group of individuals or a large corporation.

Summary
Catastrophic failure is all around us. From the disastrous Post Office software, which led to a multimillion-pound lawsuit, to the mix-up at the 2017 Oscars Awards ceremony, these errors are the unfortunate ramifications of our dizzyingly advancing world. But what causes such ruinous mistakes? And can we do anything about them? In Meltdown, world-leading experts in disaster prevention, Chris Clearfield and Andras Tilcsik, use real-life examples from around the world to reveal the errors in thinking, perception, and system design that lie behind both our everyday errors and disasters like the Fukushima nuclear accident. But most crucially, Meltdown is about finding solutions. It reveals why ugly designs make us safer, how a five-minute exercise can prevent billion-dollar catastrophes, why teams with fewer experts are better at managing risk, and why diversity is one of our best safeguards against failure. The result is an eye-opening and empowering book - one that will change the way you see our complex world and your own place in it.

Summary
Hidden behind the prestigious labels of our greatest wines are all the ingredients of a pitiless world of rivalries, intrigue and back-stabbings. If oil is black gold, wine is the red gold of today. Our top wines have abandoned their outdated charm, and metamorphosed into real blockbusters that change hands at fabulous prices on a globalised marketplace. For the first time ever, over the course of a year, cameras have penetrated this inner, closed circle to follow its workings, denounce its excesses and reveal the way it functions. We see the world of wine as never before, with its complexity, its amazing knowhow - but also all its most embarrassing secrets. Pesticides in our finest wines? Suspect classifications? 'Appellations' with mysterious criteria? This is an in-depth look into the maze of this world, where critics have become like courtesans, and where 'winemakers' have taken the place of winegrowers.
