Boost your Big Data IQ! Gain insight into how to govern and consume IBM’s unique in-motion and at-rest Big Data analytic capabilities Big Data represents a new era of computing—an inflection point of opportunity where data in any format may be explored and utilized for breakthrough insights—whether that data is in-place, in-motion, or at-rest. IBM is uniquely positioned to help clients navigate this transformation. This book reveals how IBM is infusing open source Big Data technologies with IBM innovation that manifest in a platform capable of "changing the game." The four defining characteristics of Big Data—volume, variety, velocity, and veracity—are discussed. You’ll understand how IBM is fully committed to Hadoop and integrating it into the enterprise. Hear about how organizations are taking inventories of their existing Big Data assets, with search capabilities that help organizations discover what they could already know, and extend their reach into new data territories for unprecedented model accuracy and discovery. In this book you will also learn not just about the technologies that make up the IBM Big Data platform, but when to leverage its purpose-built engines for analytics on data in-motion and data at-rest. And you’ll gain an understanding of how and when to govern Big Data, and how IBM’s industry-leading InfoSphere integration and governance portfolio helps you understand, govern, and effectively utilize Big Data. Industry use cases are also included in this practical guide.

The preceding process of globalization and the continuously rising competitive pressure on manufacturing companies in more developed economies unveiled the limits of classical site-focused optimization approaches. The focus of network optimization shifts ever more towards an integrative view of manufacturing networks, striving for a harmonization of the strategy-, configuration- and coordination levels. This book presents such an integrative approach to the strategic management of manufacturing networks. Besides strategic network requirements, this book discusses the derivation of an optimal global footprint and the optimization of network coordination activities. Special attention is paid to the site roles concept, especially to the concept of 'lead factory'. A large number of up-to-date cases from the producing industry enrich the book and provide the reader with vivid examples for the application of the presented concepts. Hence, this book is a must-read for both practitioners and academic researchers.
This chapter completes the book – for the time being – with a look at the
institutionalisation of network management and a short recap. Regarding
institutionalisation, we want to cover the role of process owners in particular,
which could play a key role in establishing network management organisationally
, much like OPEX initiatives. As was noted previously, we provide a further
collection of case studies from industry projects carried out by us in the appendix,
to help illustrate the ...
In the postmodern age there is no such thing as rule-by-objective-truth. The modern, scientific republic has lost its modern philosophical foundations. If all human thought and action is tradition-bound we must construct a more democratic approach to government while understanding that democracy itself is a tradition with metaphysical underpinnings. In Neopopulism as Counterculture Tom Dahlberg and Erick Kaardal construct the democratic countercultural artifacts which will be required to deconstruct the modern, liberal, managerial state (a mythological scientific republic) which can no longer legitimately monopolize the means of cultural production including education, the courts, and policy-making science. In the postmodern age democratic counterculture will inevitably deconstruct most if not all of what liberalism has constructed including its completely relative account of reason.
