Today's customer-oriented operational philosophy has forced organizations to face the challenge of transforming into digital businesses to meet growing customer demand. The reality is that power is shifting from institutions to customers, so it's up to providers to master both customer experience and digital operational excellence. However, despite this turn toward digitalization, many businesses struggle to manage their technology base strategically. Disruptive Innovation and Emerging Technologies for Business Excellence in the Service Sector provides an in-depth exploration of options that can assist organizations in developing a consistent and coherent view of various drivers in order to shape their markets and operations as well as how disruptive innovations and emerging technologies can contribute to businesses now and in the future. Covering a wide range of topics such as sustainable transportation and customer service experiences, it is ideal for industry professionals, researchers, academicians, instructors, decision makers, and students.

This book  (proceedings of ISMS 2022)   is intended to be used as a reference by students and researchers who collect scientific and technical contributions with respect to models, tools, technologies and applications in the field of information systems and management science. This textbook shows how to exploit information systems in a technology-rich management field.

In this moving and insightful work, Deepak Singh chronicles his downward mobility as an immigrant to a small town in Virginia. Armed with an MBA from India, Singh can get only a minimum-wage job in an electronics store. Every day he confronts unfamiliar American mores, from strange idioms to deeply entrenched racism. Telling stories through the unique lens of an initially credulous outsider who is "fresh off the plane," Singh learns about the struggles of his colleagues: Ron, a middle-aged African-American man trying to keep his life intact despite health concerns; Jackie, a young African-American woman diligently attending school after work; and Cindy, whose matter-of-fact attitude helps Deepak adapt to his job and his new life. How May I Help You? is an incisive take on life in the United States and a reminder that the stories of low-wage employees can bring candor and humanity to debates about work, race, and immigration.

The Experimental protocols of Immunology & Molecular Biology are presented so as to be readily used at the laboratory bench. Although a number of the procedures described represent the tried and trusted, we have striven to include variants on existing technologies that an experiment can be performed. These step-by-step protocols are intended to be concise and easy to follow. Suggestions to successfully apply the procedures are included, along with recommended materials. A special feature is that, in addition to the protocols, important background information and representative results of applying the methods are given. The aim of this book to provide a self-contained laboratory manual which will be useful to Graduate, Post Graduates & Research Scholars of Life sciences of various universities and colleges.

Research work concerns the seismic interpretation and petrophysical analyses. 3-D seismic data have become the key tool used in the oil and gas industry to understand the subsurface. In the present study, seismic attribute analysis has been done by software SeisWare 6.2. The combination of TWT structural contour maps and attribute analysis suggest the suitable location for drilling targets. After ascertaining the drilling targets petrophysical analysis is necessary to know the possible reservoir intervals, average porosity values, shale volume, formation water saturation and movable hydrocarbon of the study area. In the present project the different horizons of the Sanand area of the Cambay Basin, Gujarat, India have been interpreted on the basis of seismic stratigraphy. Among all these different formations the lithology of the Kalol Formation reconstructed by using wireline logs. The lithology mainly has silt, shale and small amount of sand. Coal beds are main characteristic of the Kalol Formation. The depositional environments of Kalol Formation have been determined by various methods that indicate terrestrial to transient/shallow marine environment.
