Description

This eBook blends together embedded apps for live computation, equivalent coding examples which require no coding experience, and a narrative for applying modern computation to business analytics.

In each chapter, we address a business analytics question using a computational recipe. We hope this book helps you leverage data to gain insights into today's businesses.

Each chapter covers the following:
  • A test kit to understand corporate genes: values, culture, and strategies
  • Handling multiple data types: numbers, text, images, video in a notebook environment
  • Bite-sized computational recipes in the form of short, readable Wolfram Language code (10–15 lines in each chapter)
  • Graphic User Interface (GUI) and real-time live computation, so that you can rerun the modules based on your own input (most of the time your input is as simple as a website URL)
  • 100% replicable and interactive, so that you can experiment further and create your own computational tools
The book requires either Wolfram Player or a Wolfram Language product (Mathematica or Wolfram|One). Wolfram Player allows live computation with the embedded apps, while Mathematica allows experimentation with the underlying code to come up with your own creative analysis ideas.
