It also introduces increased data-driven marketing techniques with many new examples covering digital analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. This latest edition also links marketing theory with practical business experience to help you understand digital marketing in the real world through case studies from market-leading and cutting-edge companies such as ASOS, Spotify, and L'Oreal. Many useful features include self-assessment exercises and discussion questions to self-test your knowledge and understanding of the topics. With the 'Essential Digital Skills' boxes guiding you into developing key skills you will later need in the workplace, this leading textbook is a must-have guide for students and professionals.

Abstract: This book revisits a distinction introduced in 1921 by economists Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes: that between statistically predictable future events ('risks') and statistically unpredictable, uncertain events ('uncertainties'). Governments have generally ignored the latter, perceiving phenomena such as pandemics, natural disasters and climate change as uncontrollable Acts of God. As a result, there has been little if any preparation for future catastrophes. Our modern society i ...; [Read more...] This book revisits a distinction introduced in 1921 by economists Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes: that between statistically predictable future events ('risks') and statistically unpredictable, uncertain events ('uncertainties'). Governments have generally ignored the latter, perceiving phenomena such as pandemics, natural disasters and climate change as uncontrollable Acts of God. As a result, there has been little if any preparation for future catastrophes. Our modern society is more interconnected and more globalized than ever. Dealing with uncertain future events requires a stronger and more globally coordinated government response. This book suggests a larger, more global government role in dealing with these disasters and keeping economic inequalities low. Major institutional changes, such as regulating the private sector for the common good and dealing with special harms, risks and crises, especially those concerning climate change and pandemics, are necessary in order to achieve any semblance of future progress for humankind.

Abstract: Semantic Network Analysis in Social Sciences introduces the fundamentals of semantic network analysis and its applications in the social sciences. Readers learn how to easily transform any given text into a visual network of words co-occurring together, a process that allows mapping the main themes appearing in the text and revealing its main narratives and biases. Semantic network analysis is particularly useful today with the increasing volumes of text-based information available.

Readers learn how to easily transform any given text into a visual network of words co-occurring together, a process that allows mapping the main themes appearing in the text and revealing its main narratives and biases. Semantic network analysis is particularly useful today with the increasing volumes of text-based information available. It is one of the developing, cutting-edge methods to organize, identify patterns and structures, and understand the meanings of our information society. The first chapters in this book offer step-by-step guidelines for conducting semantic network analysis, including choosing and preparing the text, selecting desired words, constructing the networks, and interpreting their meanings. Free software tools and code are also presented. The rest of the book displays state-of-the-art studies from around the world that apply this method to explore news, political speeches, social media content, and even to organize interview transcripts and literature reviews.

Abstract: Dall’indipendenza del 1957, la Malesia ha raggiunto risultati importanti, segnati da passaggi storici. Ha esteso il suo territorio, strutturato la sua base produttiva, superato di cili tensioni interne, avviato una vivace dialettica parlamentare. La dolorosa separazione con Singapore è stata pienamente assorbita e oggi la Malesia è uno dei paesi più importanti e prosperi dell’ASEAN. La crescita economica è stata contemporaneamente causa ed e etto di questi progressi.

Ha esteso il suo territorio, strutturato la sua base produttiva, superato di cili tensioni interne, avviato una vivace dialettica parlamentare. La dolorosa separazione con Singapore è stata pienamente assorbita e oggi la Malesia è uno dei paesi più importanti e prosperi dell’ASEAN. La crescita economica è stata contemporaneamente causa ed e etto di questi progressi. Il paese si è ben inserito nei circuiti della globalizzazione, nelle catene del valore internazionali, nell’emersione epocale del secolo asiatico. Questo percorso ha tuttavia bisogno di consolidarsi, nella ricerca di assetti che reggano l’urto di crisi imprevedibili. La risposta al Covid-19, come spesso è avvenuto in Estremo Oriente, ha tutelato congiuntamente i cittadini e l’economia. Il paese ambisce a una sofisticazione produttiva, a settori specializzati, alla trasformazione delle sue preziose materie prime. L’Italia può svolgere un ruolo redditizio, mutualmente fertile e lungimirante. Le presenze e gli scambi tra i due paesi sono già intensi ma certamente non esauriti. Il terreno di incontro non presenta asperità e approda in ambiti istituzionali, culturali, economici, aziendali. Questo libro intende farli conoscere e analizzarli.

Abstract: The field of knowledge graphs, which allows us to model, process, and derive insights from complex real-world data, has emerged as an active and interdisciplinary area of artificial intelligence over the last decade, drawing on such fields as natural language processing, data mining, and the semantic web. Current projects involve predicting cyberattacks, recommending products, and even gleaning insights from thousands of papers on COVID-19.

Current projects involve predicting cyberattacks, recommending products, and even gleaning insights from thousands of papers on COVID-19. This textbook offers rigorous and comprehensive coverage of the field. It focuses systematically on the major approaches, both those that have stood the test of time and the latest deep learning methods.
