Mang barn ELSKER bøker om FAKTA! I en periode SLUKER de all KUNNSKAP de kommer over. Mange synes OPPFINNELSER er ekstra spennende. Dette er er bok om VERDENS STØRSTE OPPFINNELSER. Hvert oppslag presenterer én oppfinnelse: Med detaljerte, fargerike, spennende illustrasjoner og enkle beskrivende og fengende tekster. Visse du for eksempel at det var i Kina de fant opp papiret, og at kinesiske papirmakere ble tatt til fange i et forsøk på å stjele hemmeligheten om hvordan man lager papir! Visse du at budeiene og kuene var en viktig brikke i løsningen på hvordan man lager vaksiner! Visse du at kruttet ble oppfunnet ved en feiltakelse, de forsøkte nemlig egentlig å lage et serum for EVIG LIV! Trodde du datamaskinen var en morderne oppfinnelse? Ideen til datamaskinen ble tenkt ut for 200 år siden! Dette er oppfinnelsene dere kan lære mer om i boka: Hjulet, kompasset, papir, klokka, KRUTTET, dampmotoren (TOGET), Vaksinen (dessverre et aktuelt tema nå), datamaskinen, den elektriske motoren (LYSPÆRA), telefonen, bilen, flyet, plast (ikke bare en smart oppfinnelser), atombomben (store oppfinnelser er ikke alltid gode ideer), INTERNETT. Denne boken er næring til barnets kunnskapstørst og et springbrett for mer læring. Fin å lese sammen, fin å lese selv.

Business Intelligence Strategy and Big Data Analytics is written for business leaders, managers, and analysts - people who are involved with advancing the use of BI at their companies or who need to better understand what BI is and how it can be used to improve profitability. It is written from a general management perspective, and it draws on observations at 12 companies whose annual revenues range between $500 million and $20 billion. Over the past 15 years, my company has formulated vendor-neutral business-focused BI strategies and program execution plans in collaboration with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, logistics companies, insurers, investment companies, credit unions, and utilities, among others. It is through these experiences that we have validated business-driven BI strategy formulation methods and identified common enterprise BI program execution challenges. In recent years, terms like “big data? and “big data analytics? have been introduced into the business and technical lexicon. Upon close examination, the newer terminology is about the same thing that BI has always been about: analyzing the vast amounts of data that companies generate and/or purchase in the course of business as a means of improving profitability and competitiveness. Accordingly, we will use the terms BI and business intelligence throughout the book, and we will discuss the newer concepts like big data as appropriate. More broadly, the goal of this book is to share methods and observations that will help companies achieve BI success and thereby increase revenues, reduce costs, or both.
