Data Science for Business

This is not a book about algorithms, nor is it a replacement for a book about algorithms. We deliberately avoided an algorithm-centered approach. We believe there is a relatively small set of fundamental concepts or principles that underlie techniques for extracting useful knowledge from data. These concepts serve as the foundation for many well- known algorithms of data mining. Moreover, these…

Data Analysis with Open Source Tools

Businesses sit on data, and every second that passes, they generate some more. Surely, there must be a way to make use of all this stuff. But how, exactly—that’s far from clear. The task is difficult because it is so vague: there is no specific problem that needs to be solved. There is no specific question that needs to be answered. All you know is the overall purpose: improve the busin…

THE FINANCE OF FOREIGN TRADE

Tins is an unconventional book practical rather than theoretical. The methods of financing foreign trade described in it may not follow exactly the ordinary accepted rules laid down by writers on economics, but they are those to which the importer and exporter have to conform when seeking financial facilities from bankers. " If you would only tell us how you do the business, and what it…

Cyber security best practices

The incidence and cost of cyber crime is escalating, and no business is immune. Attacks are more sophisticated and more successful, because hackers collaborate and share tools and techniques. So we must collaborate, too. In 2014, we sponsored a series of chief information security officer (CISO) roundtables, where participants shared experiences and enterprise security best practices. Through t…

Fact and Value in Emotion

David Hume famously claimed that one cannot derive an ‘ought’ from an ‘is,’ or in less poetic terms, one cannot derive a value from a fact. Hume was arguing that the imperatives given to our preferences, goals and actions are derived from emotion and not from logical reasoning. Emotion, therefore, had a prominent place in Hu -me’s thinking.

MANAGING RISK AND CREATING VALUE WITH MICRO FINANCE

when World Bank staff members meet with representatives of a country’s microfi nance sector, microfi nance institution (MFI) managers often assume that they will receive some kind of new fi nancing—credit lines, guarantees, or grants—to support their development eff orts. Th ey do not expect the Bank to provide technical assistance or best-practice information. More recently, however,…

Confessions of an IT Manager

During my career as an IT professional, strange things have always seemed to happen to me. The true incidents I describe in the chapters that lie ahead are those that are intended to illustrate a point about working in IT. There are many such incidents that I cannot talk about because, in doing so, I would reveal my true identity. Many cannot be used because they are unrelated to the themes of …

Without doubt, the center of the knowledge revolution is the Internet’s World Wide Web (web) which has opened up unprecedented opportuni…

Urban Government and Politics

We will do this in part by looking at cities historically, focusing especially on the development of cities during the 20th century. As you will learn, many of the problems faced by contemporary cities have their origins in policies and practices that were initiated many years ago. Only by understanding the…

MONETARY POLICY IN THE UK

We argue in this contribution that the institutional dimension of the Bank of England (BoE) monetary policy and the role the UK HM Treasury assumes in this framework are both firmly based on the New Consensus in Macroeconomics (NCM), a theoretical framework upon which also the Inflation Targeting policy element is firmly based. This paper discusses these aspects of the UK monetary policy, a…

Computers at Risk: Safe Computing in the Information Age

Computer systems are coming of age. As computer systems become more prevalent, sophisticated, embedded in physical processes, and interconnected, society becomes more vulnerable to poor system design, accidents that disable systems, and attacks on computer systems. Without more responsible design and use, system disruptions will increase, with harmful consequences for society. They will also re…

Essentially, e-government has influenced nations on all corners of the earth to dif- ferent degrees. The discussion of e-government does not necessarily…

Communications and Technology for Violence Prevention

The past 25 years have seen a major paradigm shift in the field of violence prevention, from the assumption that violence is inevitable to a recognition that violence is preventable. As evidence-based interventions increasingly demonstrate measurable impacts on the prevalence of violence, those who work in the field of violence prevention face the challenge of finding new ways to disseminate in…
