The objective of this book is to showcase recent solutions and discuss the opportunities that AI, blockchain, and even their combinations can present to solve the issue of Internet of Things (IoT) security. It delves into cuttingedge technologies and methodologies, illustrating how these innovations can fortify IoT ecosystems against security threats. The discussion includes a comprehensive analysis of AI techniques such as machine learning and deep learning, which can detect and respond to security breaches in real time. The role of blockchain in ensuring data integrity, transparency, and tamper- proof transactions is also thoroughly examined. Furthermore, this book will present solutions that will help analyze complex patterns in user data and ultimately improve productivity.
Building information modelling (BIM) uses a combination of technologies and resources to capture, manage, analyse, and display a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A Geographic Information System (GIS) offers tools for visualising and analysing built and natural environments and their impacts on infrastructure systems, such as land use, transportation, etc. This book offers a framework for how the geospatial and surveying industry can create and integrate BIM with GIS. Through practical implementation methods, readers will learn to merge GIS data with design and BIM data to enable digital twins. This book presents the following features: Inte...
The convenience of online shopping has driven consumers to turn to the internet to purchase everything from clothing to housewares and even groceries. The ubiquity of online retail stores and availability of hard-to-find products in the digital marketplace has been a catalyst for a heighted interest in research on the best methods, techniques, and strategies for remaining competitive in the era of e-commerce. The Encyclopedia of E-Commerce Development, Implementation, and Management is an authoritative reference source highlighting crucial topics relating to effective business models, managerial strategies, promotional initiatives, development methodologies, and end-user considerations in the online commerce sphere. Emphasizing emerging research on up-and-coming topics such as social commerce, the Internet of Things, online gaming, digital products, and mobile services, this multi-volume encyclopedia is an essential addition to the reference collection of both academic and corporate libraries and caters to the research needs of graduate-level students, researchers, IT developers, and business professionals. .
Envy is a vicious and shameful response to the good fortune of others, one that ruins friendships and plagues societies—or so the common thinking goes, shaped by millennia of religious and cultural condemnation. Envy’s bad reputation is not completely unwarranted; envy can indeed motivate malicious and counterproductive behavior and may strain or even tear apart relations between people. However, that is not always the case. Investigating the complex nature of this emotion reveals that it plays important functions in social hierarchies and it can motivate one to self-improve and even to achieve moral virtue. Philosophers and psychologists in this volume explore envy’s characteristics in different cultures, spanning from small hunter-gatherer communities to large industrialized countries, to contexts as diverse as academia, marketing, artificial intelligence, and Buddhism. They explore envy’s role in both the personal and the political sphere, showing the many ways in which envy can either contribute or detract to our flourishing as individuals and as citizens of modern democracies.
Loyalty is one of the main assets of a brand. In today’s markets, achieving and maintaining loyal customers has become an increasingly complex challenge for brands due to the widespread acceptance and adoption of diverse technologies by which customers communicate with brands. Customers use different channels (physical, web, apps, social media) to seek information about a brand, communicate with it, chat about the brand and purchase its products. Firms are thus continuously changing and adapting their processes to provide customers with agile communication channels and coherent, integrated brand experiences through the different channels in which customers are present. In this context, und...

随着我国经济的迅速发展, 环境保护、食品安全以及员工权益保护等问题日益增多, 企业社会责任失范的案例频频曝光。 社会责任风险拓宽了企业的风险边界,提升了企业的风险等级, 严重制约企业的可持续发展。那么, 是什么导致了企业社会责任缺失现象愈演愈烈? 一个重要的原因在于许多企业尚未构建系统完善并有效运行的社会责任内部控制系统。 我国《内部控制应用指引第4号———社会责任》将社会责任风险控制作为重要内容, 但缺乏理论基础架构和更为具体的实务细则及分行业操作指南。 现阶段, 我国只有石油石化、汽车等少数行业引入了发达国家的 HSE (Health Safety Environment) 或 QHSE (Quality Health Safety Environment) 管理系统, 大部分企业内部控制主要是基于合规性和效益性的考量, 仅依靠法律法规来控制企业社会责任风险, 存在滞后性和高风险, 有必要建立或健全社会责任内部控制系统, 有效管控企业社会责任风险,促进企业的健康可持续发展。
