Intelligent Industrial Internet Systems: Architecture, Deployment and Applications
by Shui Yu Xiaolong Xu Wanchun DouIn the process of transforming modern manufacturing into intelligent manufacturing, more and more manufacturing processes are being deployed digitally on the Internet. As a novel digital industrial infrastructure and new application ecology, Industrial Internet could integrate the novel information and communication technology into various industrial manufacturing processes, through the safe and reliable intelligent interconnection of factors concerning people, machines and things. It aims at significantly improving the digitalization, networking and intelligence of manufacturing processes through the comprehensive interconnection of all manufacturing factors. To deploy and run traditional manufacturing processes on Industrial Internet efficiently, corresponding digital technical means are called for. These technical means play an important role in many potential applications of intelligent manufacturing, e.g. integrating product lifecycle data, strengthening industrial chain cooperation, providing decision-making service information oriented on the production organization process, and providing data support for product optimization and upgrading.This book focuses on the theory, techniques and means for integrating intelligent Industrial Internet applications deployed via mobile edge computing. Concretely, it mainly studies the intelligent theory, techniques and means from a problem-driven and demand-driven perspective, which supports collaborative design, agile manufacturing, remote operation and maintenance on Industrial Internet. These technologies primarily include Industrial Internet-centric intelligent resource scheduling methods, various types of industrial data privacy protection, intelligent version management technologies supporting digital twin applications, various data mining algorithms for intelligent execution of business processes, etc. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable theoretical and technical resource for project managers, technical developers, researchers, educators and students at colleges and universities.

Intelligent Internal Control and Risk Management: Designing High-Performance Risk Control Systems
by Matthew LeitchMany people in organizations resent internal control and risk management; these two processes representing unwelcome tasks to be completed for the benefit of auditors and regulators. Over the last few years this perception has been heightened by the disastrous implementation of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which is generally regarded as having been too expensive for the benefits it has brought. This important book offers a way of improving this prevailing perception and increasing the value of control and risk management by bringing creativity and design skills to the fore. The value of risk and control activities is often limited by the value of the control ideas available and so Matthew Leitch provides an arsenal of 60 high performance control mechanisms. These include several alternative ways to design controls and control systems, as well as providing controls for monitoring and audit, controls for accelerated learning, and techniques for finding and recovering cash. This design material is combined with insights into the psychology of risk control, strategies for encouraging helpful behaviour and enabling change, and a surprisingly simple integration of internal control with risk management. The book is realistic, practical, original, and easier reading than most in the field. The material is not specific to any one country and has international appeal for internal auditors and all those concerned with risk management, corporate governance and security.
Intelligent Investing
by Guy Fraser-SampsonIntelligent Investing is a one-stop-guide for investment professionals who need to better think though their investment rules, behaviour or procedures before allocating capital. History (and the collapse of several pension funds) has shown us that a high percentage of investments fail, and that more consideration needs to be put into key decisions such as passive vs. active management, dynamic vs. active asset allocation and manager selection and monitoring. Written by a seasoned finance practitioner, this book will guide readers through everything they need to consider in the investment planning process, from identifying the risk/return profile (i. e. the type of investor you are), to understanding the key concepts alpha, beta, liquidity and volatility, and rebalancing an investment portfolio. Readers will come away with clear and practical guidance on how to carry out a full strategic review of their investment plans, allowing them to better allocate their resources for maximum investment returns within their own defined risk parameters.

Intelligent Leadership
by John Potter Alan HooperThe need for high-quality leadership in all areas of business and organisational activity has never been greater. A myriad of interlinked factors mean that styles of leadership that were appropriate in the past are now no longer working. These factors include new technologies, more questioning attitudes to authority, the arrival of the "virtual organization" with its network of contributors, and the unprecedentedly high expectations of customers and employees. In Intelligent Leadership, Alan Hooper and John Potter look at how changes affect people in businesses and organisations, using specific case studies of individuals. They propose practical ways for leaders to provide effective leadership in a quickly changing and confusing work environment. The focus is on winning hearts and minds, on leadership as an emotional and psychological commitment to the people being led, and on the idea of emotional intelligence.

Intelligent M & A
by Chris Brady Scott MoellerAlmost 70% of mergers fail, yet deals are essential for growing world-class companies. Therefore they must use all the tools and techniques at their disposal to improve their chances of success. Applying the techniques advocated in this book can help managers beat the odds - and employees themselves - to have an impact on whether a deal will be successful both for the company and for themselves.This book looks at the process of a merger or acquisition and pinpoints the areas where business intelligence can raise the odds of success in each phase of the deal. Using techniques developed by governmental intelligence services and a wide range of recent case studies, quotations and anecdotes, the expert authors from the renowned Cass Business School show how to build success into any M&A situation.The first edition of Intelligent M&A was written in 2006 and published in 2007. This preceded the peak year (2007) of the last merger wave, including the excesses in a number of industries and deals (e.g., financial services with RBS' dramatically failed acquisition of ABN AMRO as a key example), and the global economic downturn that led to a completely new way of operating for many industries and companies.Therefore, there is a need to update the book to incorporate not just more relevant and up-to-date case studies of deals but to show the 'new' way of operating in a post-Lehman environment. Chapters will be comprehensively re-written and populated with new and relevant case studies.

Intelligent Open Finance: Intelligente und integrierte Plattformlösungen im Banking
by Gerrit Heinemann Sebastian Bleil Jana BartholomäusDieses Buch beantwortet die Schlüsselfragen, inwiefern Pandemie und Dauerkrisen das Kaufverhalten der Konsumenten in bankenfremden Branchen verändert haben und welche Auswirkungen das auf das Kundengeschäft von Banken und Sparkassen haben wird.Als Booster der digitalen Revolution stellt derzeit die generative KI in Kombination mit neuen EU-Regulierungen den Bankensektor auf den Kopf. Die Payment Services Directive 3 (PSD3) wird die bisherige PSD2 verschärfen und mit einer Payment Services Regulation (PSR) aktualisiert werden. Darüber hinaus wird mit dem Framework for Financial Data Access (FIDA) ein neuer rechtlicher Rahmen für alle Bereiche der Finanzbranche etabliert. Mit der FIDA möchte die EU-Kommission den Datenaustausch jenseits von PSD3/PSR im Sinne von Open Finance ausweiten. Sie ermöglicht Finanzdienstleistern Datenzugriffe auf zusätzliche Datenquellen, wie z. B. Sparkonten, Depots, Hypotheken und Versicherungen bei Wettbewerbern. Dadurch soll der Wettbewerb verstärkt und die Teilnahme von Nichtbanken am Zahlungsverkehr erhöht werden. Dieses bedeutet für die Bankenwelt eine enorme Zäsur. Für die Banken und Sparkassen geht es nunmehr darum, mit einer eigenen wettbewerbsfähigen Plattformlösung zu reagieren. Dabei erhöhen die aktuellen Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der generativen KI den Handlungsdruck, da sie effizientere, kundenzentriertere Lösungen ermöglichen. Das Werk liefert Banken bzw. Sparkassen wichtige Handlungsoptionen und unterstützt sie dabei, die in anderen Branchen gemachten Fehler bei der Umsetzung der Plattformökonomie zu vermeiden. Dabei werden die wichtigsten Trends und Entwicklungen aus anderen Branchen aufgezeigt, die für Banken und Sparkassen relevant sind. Dazu zählen vor allem mobile-basierte Plattformmodelle und KI-Anwendungen.

Intelligent Residential Buildings and the Behaviour of the Occupants: State of the Art (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Nuno M.M. Ramos João M.P.Q. Delgado Pedro F. PereiraThis book presents the state of the art of two areas: intelligent residential buildings and the behaviour of their occupants. These areas need to be treated together in order to develop new concepts for buildings, which are more efficient, more comfortable and more healthy. The concept of intelligent building is associated with the creation of a management system that takes into account the requirements of the occupants in terms of thermal comfort and their daily activities, maintaining good indoor air quality and minimizing energy consumption. In commercial or office buildings, these systems are already at an intermediate stage of implementation. However, in the residential sector they have yet to be significantly implemented. In mild climates, where the interactions of the occupants with the building mechanisms are the primary way to ensure adequate comfort and ventilation, the importance of occupant behaviour studies and their incorporation in the algorithms of the intelligent buildings becomes even more crucial. This book offers new concepts on how to bring these aspects together.
Intelligent Retail: Die Zukunft des stationären Einzelhandels
by Gerrit HeinemannDieses Buch zeigt dem stationären Einzelhandel einen Weg auf, wie er sich nach Corona neu erfinden kann, um gegen die starke Konkurrenz des Online-Handels bestehen zu können. Im Zentrum stehen die zentralen Themen, die den Handel der Zukunft prägen. So muss vor allem der stationäre Einzelhandel heute mit intelligenten Systemen datenbasiert arbeiten und Methoden übernehmen oder sogar übertreffen, die die großen Online-Marktplätze schon sehr lange und erfolgreich einsetzen. Diesbezüglich spielt auch künstliche Intelligenz im Einzelhandel eine große Rolle. Dabei geht es nicht bloß um Automatisierung und um die Übernahme von Tätigkeiten durch Roboter, sondern in eigentlich allen Handelsfunktionen auch darum, dass Instrumente und Maschinen in der Lage sind, selbst zu lernen und Schlüsse zu ziehen. Dieses wird immer schwieriger, denn unser Einkaufs- und Suchverhalten ändert sich fortwährend. Ein Kunde sollte deswegen im Geschäft intelligente Empfehlungen erhalten, die auch auf seinen bereits bekannten Interessen und Verhaltensmustern beruhen. Gerrit Heinemann zeigt, wie intelligentes Handeln den stationären Einzelhandel in den Innenstädten und in Shopping-Centern retten kann. Der Inhalt• Vom stationären Einzelhandel zum Intelligent Retail• Bedrohungen des stationären Einzelhandels• Basisvoraussetzungen und Erscheinungsformen des Intelligent Retail• Beispiele für intelligenten Einzelhandel der Zukunft• Risiken für Intelligent Retail
Intelligent Retail: The Future of Stationary Retail
by Gerrit HeinemannThis book shows stationary retail a way to reinvent itself after Corona, in order to be able to survive against the strong competition of online retail. The focus is on the central issues that will shape the retail of the future. For example, brick-and-mortar retail in particular must now work with intelligent systems based on data and adopt or even surpass methods that the large online marketplaces have been using successfully for a very long time. In this regard, artificial intelligence also plays a major role in retail. This is not just about automation and robots taking over tasks, but also about instruments and machines being able to learn and draw conclusions themselves in all retail functions. This is becoming increasingly difficult because our shopping and search behavior is constantly changing. Therefore, a customer should receive intelligent recommendations in the store, which are also based on his already known interests and behavior patterns. Gerrit Heinemann shows how intelligent action can save stationary retail in city centres and shopping centres.The content - From stationary Retail to intelligent Retail - Threats to the stationary retail trade - Basic requirements and manifestations of intelligent Retail - Examples of intelligent retail of the future - Risks for intelligent Retail
