This book is a comprehensive, step-by-step learning guide towards understanding an entire value chain of Business Analytics, its interrelated components and its role in business decision-making in India and globally. The book has been written with an interdisciplinary approach that triggers strategic as well as routine, thought-provoking ideas to cut across data from several business domains globally. Business Analytics Value Chain deals with the end-to-end journey from planning the approach to a data enriched decision-problem, to communicating results derived from analytics models to clients. Using current cases from all aspects of a business venture (finance, marketing, human resources, and operations), the book helps the readers to develop the capabilities of evaluating a business case scenario; understand the business problem; identify the data sources and data availability; logically think through problemsolving; use analytics techniques and application software to solve the problem; and be able to interpret the results. Case studies have been carefully designed to represent business scenarios from varied business domains, both local and global, such that they guide the students to making informed fact-based decisions during collaborative planning, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating outcomes for data-enriched problem scenarios. The book will be useful for students, researchers, and instructors from the fields of Business Management, Data Analytics, Commerce, and Economics. It will also be an indispensable companion to the professional working in the field of data analytics.

Agrarian transition, exploitative production relations, bondage in the agriculture and informal sectors, food insecurity, and poverty are among the central concerns that have marked the work of the eminent economist and author Utsa Patnaik. She has sought to seek and define alternative economic models that address these concerns and that are therefore emancipatory in nature. This festschrift attempts to engage with the theoretical frameworks, historical analyses, and developmental questions that her remarkable academic contributions have raised. The volume delves deep into issues such as the agrarian question in contemporary India, the issue of primitive accumulation, displacement and land rights, the crisis of employment generation and women’s work under present economic regimes, the challenge of environmental sustainability, and environmental constraints to development, left politics, issues of secularism and the social challenges of communalism—all of which are contradictions faced in the development process today. The editors hope that the volume will be useful to all whose praxis and work are anchored on the motivation to build a better and just world.
