by Cengiz Kahraman Selcuk Cebi Sezi Cevik Onar Basar Oztaysi A. Cagri Tolga Irem Ucal SariThis book includes the proceedings of the Intelligent and Fuzzy Techniques INFUS 2019 Conference, held in Istanbul, Turkey, on July 23–25, 2019. Big data analytics refers to the strategy of analyzing large volumes of data, or big data, gathered from a wide variety of sources, including social networks, videos, digital images, sensors, and sales transaction records. Big data analytics allows data scientists and various other users to evaluate large volumes of transaction data and other data sources that traditional business systems would be unable to tackle. Data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches and techniques have been widely used in intelligent decision-making, and they are increasingly attracting attention due to their importance and effectiveness in addressing uncertainty and incompleteness. INFUS 2019 focused on intelligent and fuzzy systems with applications in big data analytics and decision-making, providing an international forum that brought together those actively involved in areas of interest to data science and knowledge engineering. These proceeding feature about 150 peer-reviewed papers from countries such as China, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, India, USA, Spain, France, Poland, Mexico, Bulgaria, Algeria, Pakistan, Australia, Lebanon, and Czech Republic.

Intelligente Echtzeitunternehmen im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb: Multiple Geschäftsmodelle – Hybride Organisationsmodelle – Vernetzte Ökosysteme
by Roland EckertDas Buch zeigt, wie lernende Unternehmen im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb zu intelligenten Echtzeitunternehmen weiterentwickelt werden müssen. Hier geht es dann u.a. um die Gestaltung von multiplen Geschäftsmodellen durch ein Dynamic Business Model Prototyping und um die Ableitung von hybriden Organisationsmodellen: Hierarchien werden durch heterarchische Hierarchien und hierarchische Heterarchien ersetzt. Gleichzeitig wird aufgezeigt, dass der Managementfokus zukünftig stärker auf die drei Innovationshorizonte des Chancenanteilswettbewerbs ausgerichtet werden muss. Dies betrifft sowohl die organisatorische Ausrichtung (u.a. Digitalfabrik, Innovationsfabrik, Schwarmorganisation) als auch den Methodenset (u.a. Innovation Foresighting, Rapid Business Model Design).Mit Fokus auf die Plattformökonomie müssen intelligente Echtzeitunternehmen zum Keystone-Unternehmen weiterentwickelt werden. Entscheidend ist hier aber, die neuen Fähigkeiten mit den bisherigen Stärken zu verbinden.Anwendungsorientierte Beispiele und Handlungsempfehlungen helfen Managemententscheidern, Führungskräften und Innovationsverantwortlichen bei der aktiven Unternehmensentwicklung im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb.
Intelligente Rechnungsverarbeitung: Methodik und Quantitative Analyse einer Rechnungsverarbeitung mithilfe Künstlicher Intelligenz (BestMasters)
by Martin BöhmerHändisches Extrahieren von Rechnungsdaten ist heutzutage ein enorm zeitaufwendiger, monotoner und fehleranfälliger Prozess in vielen Unternehmen. Der Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz in Form von Optischer Zeichenerkennung und Künstlichen Neuronalen Netzen erscheint daher prädestiniert, um den Rechnungsverarbeitungsprozess partiell intelligent zu automatisieren und somit Mitarbeiter*innen zu entlasten sowie Projektmargen zu erhöhen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den Einsatz von KI in der Rechnungsverarbeitung und stellt einen potentiellen Softwareprototypen vor. Außerdem werden empirische Beobachtungen und Experimente zum Testen der Hypothesen durchgeführt, wodurch die zentralen Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, dass eine Verarbeitung mit KI-Unterstützung im Vergleich zu einer rein analog-händischen Verarbeitung signifikant schneller und präziser ist. Dabei profitieren vor allem Mitarbeiter*innen, die weniger Erfahrung mit der Rechnungsverarbeitung haben und durch die KI unterstützt werden. Um die deskriptiv erhobenen Ergebnisse vergleichbar zu gestalten, wird eine Matrix entwickelt, die zukünftig Daten hinsichtlich Zeit und Präzision einer Rechnungsverarbeitung auswerten kann.

Intelliseek
by Allan Friedman Luc WathieuIntelliseek harvests, filters, and mines the content of messages posted by consumers online and on discussion boards and blogs. For any specified consumer product brand, Intelliseek measures the volume of work-of-mouth and its valence (proportion of positive and negative comments) and produces organized sets of quotes in the manner of a focus group report. This "marketing intelligence" company has been successful selling its reports to the car industry, but finds it difficult to achieve client retention in other areas. New initiatives are suggested: (1) to arrange data in problem-specific templates so that it is more "actionable" and (2) to develop industry benchmark metrics against which the metrics can be compared in a more informative manner. The CEO of the company believes that the key to success is a streamlined, standardized approach to the metrics developed for client brands. The CMO believes that Intelliseek should go much further to capitalize on the opportunity to understand customers emerging from what he calls "consumer-generated media."
Intemperate Spirits: Economic Adaptation during Prohibition
by Alice Louise KassensUsing the basic economic principle of making decisions using a cost-benefit framework—and how changes in one or the other can result in a different decision—this book uncovers how various groups responded to incentives provided by the Prohibition legislation. Using this calculus, it is clear that even criminals are rational characters, responding to incentives and opportunities provided by the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act. The book begins with a broad look at the adaptations of the law’s targets: the wine, beer, and liquor industries. It then turns to specific people (Violators, Line Tip-Toers, Enablers, and Hypocrites), sharing their stories of economic adaptation to bring economic lessons to life. Due to its structure, the book can be read in parts or as a whole and is suitable for short classroom reading assignments or individual pleasure reading.

Intending the World: A Phenomenology of International Affairs
by Ralph PettmanHow we look at the world is informed mainly by our assumptions and the ways in which we rationalise them. Seldom do we rely—or allow ourselves to rely—on 'gut thinking' or intuition.Intending the World shows how rationalism, which is our primary approach in thinking about world affairs, is in crisis. By studying the world rationalistically, we objectify it and we look at it as detached from ourselves. But in doing so, we cease to see that we are using a perspective that limits as well as enlightens.In a disciplinary first, Ralph Pettman provides an account of twenty-first century international relations in terms of phenomenology—one of the main philosophical attempts to compensate for these limits. He explores how this re-embedded use of reason can successfully describe and explain world affairs in ways unused by rationalists.Intending the World follows the lead of the German philosopher Edmund Husserl. It looks at the world not only in terms of things-in-themselves, but also in terms of why it is we keep willing the world the way we do.
Intense Group Behavior and Brand Negativity: Comparing Rivalry in Politics, Religion, and Sport
by Cody T. HavardIn previous books, the author has investigated rivalry in the context of sport and non-sport settings. This book investigates how rivalry and group member behavior manifests in the setting of politics, religion, and sport, three settings of intense group member bias. Building on the author’s Hierarchy of Out-group Derogation (HOD) and Out-group Derogation Spectrum (ODS), it discusses the potential of common interests to drive out-group cooperation. The work ends with a call for future research to better understand how to decrease out-group derogation and negativity. Incorporating research from marketing, psychology, political science, and sociology, this book offers researchers in several fields a new understanding of how setting and group membership influences the ways people view and behave toward out-groups.

Intensive Variable and Its Application
by Xinqi Zheng Chunlu Xue Zhiyuan YuanThere are still insufficient general theories on the law of diminishing returns, despite 100 years of development. Starting with intensive variables theory, and by utilizing tools of spatiotemporal correlation and intensive functions, moving on to the integrated curve of diminishing returns and intensive theory, and even more importantly, using a combination of static and dynamic GIS, and integrating numerical calculation and spatial optimization, this book not only creates a unique theoretical framework and methodology for the evaluation of land use effect, but also addresses the long-standing lack of universal theories and methods on the law of diminishing returns. It will have far-reaching impacts on the development of this area and its practical application. The book covers a wide range fields in geography, land science, geographic information science, management science and related areas. Novel theoretical perspectives illustrated with many detailed case studies offer an easier way for readers to expand their research, ensuring that both academic and business audiences will benefit. Prof. Xinqi Zheng works at the China University of Geosciences (Beijing), People's Republic of China.

Intention: The Surprising Psychology of High Performers
by Mike James Ross Sekoul Theodor Krastev Dan PilatA science-backed recipe for creating engagement, fulfillment, and achievement We're stuck. Stuck to the couch. Stuck scrolling. Stuck at work. Stuck in worn-out paths of habitual action. Stuck in patterns and echo chambers of thought. Stuck in carefully curated lives where we've traded our agency for endless comforts that wrap us in existential ennui. As our eyes fixate on a constant parade of images meant to engage us, we notice something in the periphery. We see folks who are just like us, except they are actually, deeply happy and fulfilled. They seem to go through life with ease and grace, overcoming obstacles and making amazing things happen for themselves. Peering closer, we see that these aren't gods or superhumans. They're just people who have chosen to not be stuck and decided to become the main characters in their own lives. Their success (as they define it!) is not a birthright bestowed upon a lucky few, but the result of lives lived with intention. And that's what this book is about — a practical guide on infusing purpose into life in a deliberate and evidence-based way. Through a combination of inspiring stories about unlikely high performers and evidence from the bleeding edge of behavioral science, we present you with a toolkit for learning intention — not as a fluffy concept, but as five very trainable skills. Get your copy of Intention today and live your potential.

Intentional Integrity: How Smart Companies Can Lead an Ethical Revolution
by Joan O'C. Hamilton Robert ChesnutSilicon Valley expert Robert Chesnut shows that companies that do not think seriously about a crucial element of corporate culture—integrity—are destined to fail.“Show of hands—who in this group has integrity?”It’s with this direct and often uncomfortable question that Robert Chesnut, General Counsel of Airbnb, begins every presentation to new employees. Defining integrity is difficult. Once understood as “telling the truth and keeping your word,” it was about following not just the letter but the spirit of the law. But in a moment when workplaces are becoming more diverse, global, and connected, silence about integrity creates ambiguities about right and wrong that make everyone uncertain, opening the door for the minority of people to rationalize selfish behavior. Trust in most traditional institutions is down—government, religious organizations, and higher education—and there’s a dark cloud hovering over technology. But this is precisely where companies come in; as peoples’ faith in establishments deteriorates, they’re turning to their employer for stability.In Intentional Integrity, Chesnut offers a six-step process for leaders to foster and manage a culture of integrity at work. He explains the rationale and legal context for the ethics and practices, and presents scenarios to illuminate the nuances of thinking deeply and objectively about workplace culture. We will always need governments to manage defense, infrastructure, and basic societal functions. But, Chesnut argues, the private sector has the responsibility to use sensitivity and flexibility to make broader progress—if they act with integrity."Rob is an insider who's combined doing good with doing business well in two iconic Silicon Valley companies. His book contains smart, practical advice for anyone looking to do good and do well.” —Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling

Intentional Living: Choosing a Life That Matters
by John C. MaxwellJohn C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters in INTENTIONAL LIVING. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference.The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life.In INTENTIONAL LIVING, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.
