Strategic analytics is a relatively new field in conjunction with strategic management and business intelligence. Generally, the strategic management field deals with the enhancement of the decision-making capabilities of managers. Typically, such decision-making processes are heavily dependent upon various internal and external reports. Managers need to develop their strategies using clear strategy processes supported by the increasing availability of data. This situation calls for a different approach to strategy, including integration with analytics, as the science of extracting value from data and structuring complex problems. Using Strategy Analytics to Measure Corporate Performance and...
This volume presents a selection of papers from the 2nd International Conference on Computational Methods in Manufacturing (ICCMM 2019). The papers cover the recent advances in computational methods for simulating various manufacturing processes like machining, laser welding, laser bending, strip rolling, surface characterization and measurement. Articles in this volume discuss both the development of new methods and the application and efficacy of existing computational methods in manufacturing sector. This volume will be of interest to researchers in both industry and academia working on computational methods in manufacturing.
It docs remind us of our legendary golden sparrow, our original values and lessons that our Gurus, saints and spiritual leaders taught us. It does remind us of barbarians who we abhorred, for they killed civilians, including women and children. Their barbarism enslaved us and snuffed out our conscience. Thus, because of our ego-stricken in righting, we did not come together to push those marauders out of our country. We could also not punish those who took over the reigns from those marauders of yore. The author introduces readers to SaMule, an avatar from Panchatantra or Aesopís Fables (if you allow me to say so). The running commentary of SaMule digs into your sides. So, you laugh to your heart's content! Read Samule's comments carefully, though.

Society is woven by strands of people who inhabit it, it's culture, traditions and by it's politics. All these would collectively fail to hold it together had there been no stories to bind them. Most of them were real. These were stories which were narrated down generations, over a bonfire, sipping rum, toddy or whatever else they liked to drink. Gelato Ice Cream and Coffee parlor is like a roadside room with a view. It is located in Sector 8 in the heart of, Chandigarh, an otherwise sleepy city of India. The stories in this book are generated from the parlor itself and with passing time, these will be talked about as stories from Chandigarh. Thus S.P.S. Oberoi,Gullu, Priya Rajvansh, Sam Panwar, Raja the langoor, Angry Sad and Sad Sad come alive as the book progresses.
Against the Nation invites readers to explore South Asia as a place and as an idea with a sense of reflection and nuance rather than submitting to conventional understanding of the region merely in geopolitical terms. The authors take the readers across a vast terrain of prospects like visual culture, music, film, knowledge systems and classrooms, myth and history as well as forms of politics that offer possibilities for reading South Asia as a collective enterprise that has historical precedents as well as untapped ideological potential for the future.
Blockchain technology provided a buzz-seeking opportunity for all industries to implement improved corporate procedures and trust-building. Still, some industries, such as the banking sector, may view it as a disruptive technology that must be adopted. A transaction ledger’s contents can be verified, maintained, and synchronized by community members using blockchain technology. A transaction can never be changed or removed from the blockchain; updates may only be made by participants in the system. Its distributed database cannot be manipulated, disrupted, or hacked in the same manner as conventional, user-controlled access systems and centralized databases. Building Secure Business Models...
