DATA SCIENCE IS CATALYZING BUSINESS AND INNOVATION Elvis Muyanja
Today, data science is enabling companies, governments, research centres and other organisations to turn their volumes of big data into valuable and actionable insights. It is important to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, market trends, customer preferences and other useful business information. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, the U.S. alone could face a shortage of about 190,000 data scientists and 1.5 million managers and analysts who can understand and make decisions using big data by 2018. In coming years, data scientists will be vital to all sectors —from law and medicine to media and nonprofits. Has the African continent planned to train the next generation of data scientists required on the continent?
Machine Learning is the new buzz word and AI is the slang word these days. What does happen in this exiting field in Europe? Is AI common ground for all businesses or the exclusive territory for a few? Who has managed to validate a business model for autonomous vehicles or chatbots? What does data-driven or API-first business models look like?
Comparing approaches: Running database workloads on Dell EMC and Microsoft hy...Principled Technologies
Cloud adoption is no longer a question of “if” an organization can implement and make use of the cloud to advance digital transformation initiatives, it’s a matter of “when.” For many, leveraging the on-demand aspects of off-premises public cloud may seem like the fastest way to get to cloud, but your organization can wind up overpaying by settling on this approach exclusively. We found that a Dell EMC on-premises Microsoft hybrid cloud solution could reduce your cloud costs by as much as 46 percent over five years, while enabling greater flexibility in overall cloud strategy. The savings gained in our scenario could pay off the CapEx investment in as few as 29 months. Additional cloud financing options from Dell Technologies can offset large capital expense, potentially making hybrid cloud implementation more manageable. A Dell EMC on-premises Microsoft hybrid cloud solution can accelerate business initiatives and prepare your organization for the future with a cost-efficient approach that saves money while bringing much needed flexibility to your workloads and applications.

Understanding Metrics In Agile Methodology
Abstract
For a long time in the software industry, agile methodologies have become the market leader in the software development process due to its better return on investment (ROI) and risk-driven behavior. Agile has several methods like DSDM, Scrum and XP (Extreme Programming). Scrum is one of the most common methods in agile for its flexibility and simplicity. We can define Scrum as an iterative framework for complex scope of work in the development process. Metrics in scrum focuses on risks, predictability, productivity and progress by using various burn-down and velocity metrics. Scrum has established concrete metric system to analyze the progress of the software development at any given time in the software process. This helps in early risk mitigation, good project management, constant monitoring and controlling and accurate predictions about schedule, budget, and work results.
In the project, we will discuss different metrics available in the scrum method and why they are beneficial for measuring the process. In addition, we would like to study different case studies to understand how these metrics help in better deliver for the product within short time and effective cost.

Similar to EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT & RETENTION: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE (20)
The last decade has presented a new global economic scenario lead by emerging markets. BRICS countries (comprised by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) have been at the forefront in this phenomenon.

Strategic management managing mergers and acquisitionsIJBBR
In this paper we have discussed what mergers and acquisitions are and how they are a part of any
organizations strategic planning policy. Organizations ‘merge’ generally with similar organizations or
‘acquire’ weaker organizations, and the essence as to why they do so is that the value of two is greater than
one. They basically merge with or acquire each other’s strengths and try to overcome one another’s
weaknesses thus leading to increased market shares and profitability. We have discussed the various
rationales for mergers and acquisitions like the strategic rationale, speculative rationale, management
failure rationale etc, along with their types that include vertical integration, horizontal integration and
conglomeration. We have also put light on how companies go strategically about mergers and acquisitions.
The merger and acquisition life cycle aided by real examples (case studies) will offer a vivid understanding
of these concepts to the reader.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS
The studies in this study revealed that in 21st
century it has been a very crucial and difficult task
to manage and retain the employees. So the management need to know and understand the
perception and mobility of employees dynamically because preference can change rapidly. So
proper attention has to be made to reduce employee turnover rates by applying new and
competent retention strategies all the time. As said by Cappelliit’s not about managing a dam but
to manage the entire river. So the HR professionals must have a concise vision and mission with a
continuous flow of strategies and people thought so that knowledge is being transferred have to
assess the need of employees.
7. SUGGESTIONS

The existing studies shows the different aspects of employee engagement and retention. After
analyzing various research papers a definition of engaged and retained employee came out that an
engaged employee is one who is motivated, highly dedicated, ambitious, strive to for an extra
edge and always lead by the example to others and align his goals toward organizational goals.
The studies concerned with employee engagement revels that factors like level of employee
engagement in highly correlated the nature of job, communication ease, leadership styles, and
trust level and job autonomy, level of motivation, work involvement, support from organization,
performance appraisal, quality of work life, level of involvement in decision making, opportunity
to grow are the strongest drivers of employee’s engagement. The various studies on employee
retention postulated some aspects of it mainly includes level of training & development facilities,
culture of organization , leadership quality, feedbacks, compensation structures determines the
tenure of the talented employees certainly affects the tenure of employees with dedication.In this
era of tough competition it is on the card for the HR professionals to apply a mix and match of
employee retention & engagement strategies to engage and retain talented workforce for longer
period of time. For the future concern an Additional theory/practical approach has to be required
to analyse and determines the various employee retain and engagementstrategies. The
HRstrategies&practices analyzed in the study suggested and recommended for better
competitiveedge for the organizations.This study will restoring and pilot further future research
and establish the significance HRM of practices and align them strategically for employee
engagement & retention.
