Summary "In a variety of sectors ranging from defense to business to political parties there has been an increasing interest in the use of analytics to predict future trends, calculate outcomes, increase efficiency, assess risk, and optimize decisions. Analytics and Modern Warfare delves directly into the various types of analytics and the way in which they are utilized so that the reader can precisely describe what has happened and what is happening, predict future or otherwise unknown events with great accuracy, and develop custom strategies which guarantee that goals are met and operations reach their maximum potential. Utilizing these methods, organizations of any sort can develop customized strategies that give them a substantial advantage over their opposition. When done properly, analytics by themselves can be an immensely beneficial core competency, if one is only aware of what is possible"-- Provided by publisher
"The skill with which one wields quantitative analytics defines their success. This book details very simply and for even the most novice of potential analysts not only how to perform analytics which describe what is happening, predict what is going to happen, and optimize responses, but also places these analytics in the context of proactive strategy development"-- Provided by publisher
