Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Business Management
The focus of this book is to introduce artificial intelligence (AI)
and machine learning (ML) technologies into the context of business
management. The book gives insights into the implementation and
impact of AI and ML to business leaders, managers, technology
developers, and implementers. With the maturing use of AI or ML in
the field of business intelligence, this book examines several
projects with innovative uses of AI beyond data organization and
access. It follows the Predictive Modeling Toolkit for providing
new insight on how to use improved AI tools in the field of
business. It explores cultural heritage values and risk assessments
for mitigation and conservation and discusses on-shore and
off-shore technological capabilities with spatial tools for
addressing marketing and retail strategies, and insurance and
healthcare systems. Taking a multidisciplinary approach for using
AI, this book provides a single comprehensive reference resource
for undergraduate, graduate, business professionals, and related
disciplines.

Purple sweet potato (PSP) is a special type of sweet potato with
high concentration of anthocyanin pigment in the root. It is rich
in starch, sugar, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants like
phenolics, -carotene, and has a strong prospect as substrate for
alcoholic fermentation. The low cost of sweet potato and its
prospective usage in the production of alcoholic beverages make it
viable for commercialization. The book reviews the use of the roots
of PSP for the production of three novel products, i.e. anthocyanin
rich wine (red wine), herbal/medicinal sweet potato wine, and
anthocyanin rich beer which have higher health benefit than other
wines and beers. The book elucidates the use of novel technologies
in the preparation of this non-conventional wine and beer,
processing, biochemical and organoleptic quality of the finished
products and health implications. It will be of interest to
innovators, researchers and students. The novel technologies in
wine and beer making described in the book will set a precedence
for production of other alcoholic beverages from starchy sources.
This book discusses the various open issues of blockchain
technology, such as the efficiency of blockchain in different
domains of digital cryptocurrency, smart contracts, smart education
system, smart cities, cloud identity and access, safeguard to
cybersecurity and health care. For the first time in human history,
people across the world can trust each other and transact over a
large peer-to-peer networks without any central authority. This
proves that, trust can be built not only by centralized institution
but also by protocols and cryptographic mechanisms. The potential
and collaboration between organizations and individuals within peer
networks make it possible to potentially move to a global
collaborative network without centralization. Blockchain is a
complex social, economic and technological phenomenon. This
questions what the established terminologies of the modern world
like currency, trust, economics and exchange would mean. To make
any sense, one needs to realize how much insightful and potential
it is in the context and the way it is technically developed. Due
to rapid changes in accessing the documents through online
transactions and transferring the currency online, many previously
used methods are proving insufficient and not secure to solve the
problem which arises in the safe and hassle-free transaction.
Nowadays, the world changes rapidly, and a transition flow is also
seen in Business Process Management (BPM). The traditional Business
Process Management holds good establishment last one to two
decades, but, the internal workflow confined in a single
organization. They do not manage the workflow process and
information across organizations. If they do so, again fall in the
same trap as the control transfers to the third party that is
centralized server and it leads to tampering the data, and single
point of failure. To address these issues, this book highlights a
number of unique problems and effective solutions that reflects the
state-of-the art in blockchain Technology. This book explores new
experiments and yields promising solutions to the current
challenges of blockchain technology. This book is intended for the
researchers, academicians, faculties, scientists, blockchain
specialists, business management and software industry
professionals who will find it beneficial for their research work
and set new ideas in the field of blockchain. This book caters
research work in many fields of blockchain engineering, and it
provides an in-depth knowledge of the fields covered.
This book covers innovations in starter culture, production of
health beneficial fermented food products, technological
intervention in beer, wine and spirits production, marketing of
alcoholic beverages, modernization of dairy plants for production
of fermented dairy products, non-diary probiotics, development of
automatic fermenters, and packaging technology. Furthermore, it
includes genetic engineering for improved production and quality
improvement of food and beverages, which allows forecasting of the
quality of the final product. Specifically this includes
applications of hybrid methods combining multivariate statistics
and computational intelligence, the role of consumers in innovation
of novel food and beverages, and IPRS in respect to food and
beverages. Innovations in Technologies for Fermented Food and
Beverage Industries is a resource for students, researchers,
professionals in the industry, as well as governments in their
efforts to adopt technologies of their interest.
