The recent COVID-19 global pandemic exemplifies the need for efficient, reliable, and real-time tools and technology for forecasting and predicting healthcare disasters as well as for helping to restrict subsequent spread and fatality of deadly diseases. This new book discusses many of the innovative and state-of-the-art tools and technology that can help meet the challenges of predicting such disasters. The chapters offer a plethora of useful information for designing healthcare disaster management systems that can be dynamically configurable with implementation of today’s modern technology, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, IoT, data analytics, and machine learning. These can increase effectiveness in remote sensing technologies, data analytics, data storage, communication networks, geographic information system (GIS), and global positioning System (GPS), to name a few. The book discusses mathematical models using graph-based approaches for analyzing dynamic, heterogeneous, and unstructured data for applications in epidemiology. The authors also address the use of mobile applications for communication efforts and remote monitoring for gauging health and the effectiveness of preventive healthcare measures. The chapters discuss influencing factors that directly or indirectly target public health infrastructure that can lead to or exacerbate global health crises, such as extreme climate changes, refugee health crises, terrorism and cyberterrorism, and technology-related incidents. The book further looks at efficient methods to analyze disasters and how to deliver healthcare in areas of conflict and crisis. This important volume, Global Healthcare Disasters: Predicting the Unpredictable with Emerging Technologies, provides a bounty of useful information for health professionals, academicians, researchers, governmental agencies, and policymakers across the world to predict, mitigate, and manage global health disaster with emerging technologies.

The changing dynamics of business worldwide have led organizations to look beyond traditional managerial practices while at the same time attempting to retain their core competitive advantages. This development has called upon academicians and practitioners alike to reassess the different aspects of business management such as macroeconomic variables, the nature of the market, the changing features of the workplace, the new work ethos, and/or employer-employee exchanges. In this context, the book provides essential insights on industry innovations, academic advances and policy movements with regard to recovering markets in India and around the globe. The individual papers highlight potential avenues that could allow industry to better understand and respond to the global crisis. The book collects research papers presented at the Global Conference on Managing in Recovering Markets (GCMRM), held in March 2014. Seven international and 120 national business schools and management universities were represented at the conference, the first in a series of 13 planned under the GCMRM agenda for 2014–17. The book includes more than 30 research papers chosen from a pool of 118 presented at the conference, all of which have undergone a rigorous blind review process.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Information Systems, Technology and Management, ICISTM 2011, held in Gurgaon, India, in March 2011. The 35 revised full papers presented together with 4 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 106 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on information management, information systems, information technology, healthcare information management and technology, business intelligence, applications, as well as management science and education.

In this era of Information and Communication Technology, Information System plays a vital role and act as back bone for the success of any organization. The successful development of any Information System depends on the selection and application of an appropriate Software Development Model. This book covers a study of various Software Development Models and the different phases of Software Development Life Cycle from the perspective of both Developers' and Users' working in selected organizations in Indian Electronics industry. The book would be useful for the researchers as well as practitioners working in Information System.

Today, business operations and information systems are so tightly integrated with each other that it would be almost impossible to improve business processes unless corresponding information systems effectively supported the change. Realizing the importance, ability and need of information systems, this book covers the planning, implementation and control aspects of Information Systems in the selected public enterprises in India and brings out many insights. The findings and conclusions thereof would provide a framework for initiating actions for further research and for policy decisions in the area of Information Systems.

Technological improvements are responsible for majority of innovations in banking over past few decades. It started with introduction of personal computers and came a long way with computerized banking, Internet banking, ATMs, and CRM as the latest buzz. Customer Relationship Management Systems are adopted by the banks in order to achieve the success in the business and also business strategies can be formulated based on the predictions given by the intelligent data mining tools. CRM systems are implemented by banks to gain competitive edge over their competitors. Also, business strategies can be formulated based on the predictions given by the intelligent data mining tools. The book intends to present the CRM implementation with data mining, methods of implementation, success factors for the same and impact of data quality on data mining and CRM. A case study of Indian banks is also presented.
