Emerging technologies have become both crucibles and showrooms for the practical application of artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and cloud computing, and for integrating big data into everyday life. Is the digital world optimized and sustainable using intelligence systems, machine learning, and cyber security methods? This complex concoction of challenges requires new thinking of the synergistic utilization of intelligence systems, machine learning, deep learning and blockchain methods, data-driven decision-making with automation infrastructure, autonomous transportation, and connected buildings. Effective AI, Blockchain, and E-Governance Applications for Knowledge Discovery and Management provides a global perspective on current and future trends concerning the integration of intelligent systems with cybersecurity applications, including recent advances and challenges related to the concerns of security and privacy issues in deep learning with an emphasis on the current state-of-the-art methods, methodologies and implementation, attacks, and countermeasures. The book also discusses the challenges that need to be addressed for implementing DL-based security mechanisms that should have the capability of collecting or distributing data across several applications. Topics covered include skill development and tools for intelligence systems, deep learning, machine learning, blockchain, IoT, cloud computing, data ethics, and infrastructure. It is ideal for independent researchers, research scholars, scientists, libraries, industry experts, academic students, business associations, communication and marketing agencies, entrepreneurs, and all potential audiences with a specific interest in these topics.

The implementation of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has been the focus of scholars for the past few decades. The tool is viewed as vital for transmission of business data electronically. Despite the substantial benefits, only a fraction of companies Worldwide have implemented EDI. Thus, this research is intended to examine the actual scenario of EDI implementation by focusing on manufacturers in Malaysia. The key objectives of this research are to identify EDI barriers, benefits, determinants and present integration levels; to discover the differences existed in EDI barriers, benefits, determinants and integration level based on demographic variables; to examine the influence of barriers, integration level and determinants towards the extent of received or perceived benefits; and to investigate influence of benefits on the improvement in firm performance, based on users' perception.

This book illustrates a model for entrepreneurs to start globalization of their new venture by recognizing international opportunities in the international markets. This book is the result of four years research on Malaysian SMEs and it could help entrepreneurs learn to do not limit themselves to their resources for internationalization but first focus to recognize the international opportunity and then overcome their resources limitation for going to international market. With the help of presented model in this book, entrepreneurs can follow their dreams of becoming successful entrepreneurs and expand their business internationally. Chapters include: Introduction, Review of the literature, Methodology, Results, and finally Conclusions and Recommendations.
