Therefore, there is a significant emphasis on setting up an efficient process for renewal. In this study, a machine learning technique was followed to improve contract renewal rates. In addition to this, key factors affecting renewal rates were also studied in detail. The solution presented in this study used an unsupervised machine learning technique to segment high-risk resellers with relatively lower probability of renewal, which was further actioned upon by a proactive contact strategy soliciting a contract renewal. This solution was tested and monitored for a period of three quarters. It resulted in an incremental improvement in the renewal rate for the company. As part of the implementation, a user interface application was also developed, which enabled the sales specialist to list and contact high-risk (or underperformer) resellers quarter-on-quarter.","PeriodicalId":36417,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Analytics","volume":"114 1","pages":"14 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84180230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classifying cybersecurity threats into four types – physical threats, personnel threats, communication and data threats, and operational threats – this study examines organisational responses to such threats. Using textual data on cybersecurity threats and response gathered from the 10-K reports published by 87 organisations, topic modelling was conducted to assess the threats and response. A cross-sectional time-series regression model fitted on the topic weights showed that cybersecurity response was influenced by cybersecurity threats, beyond the time-invariant control and period variables. Specifically, physical threats and operational threats influenced the technical response; physical threats, communication and data threats, and operational threats influenced the non-technical response; and personnel threats influenced the overall response. Implications for research and practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":36417,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Analytics","volume":"6 1","pages":"26 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83412940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using scoring performance data from ESPN FC, we fit a Bayesian multilevel-nested model to the parameters in our proposed hierarchical model of HA, allowing information obtained from the season level to inform the inferences about scoring capabilities at the upper team, league, and sport levels. Our analysis reveals that much of HA is attributed to the nature of the sport of interest as well as teams playing the sport. The results seem to endorse the view that home advantage is mainly characteristic of the sport and participating teams, while league grouping can be safely ignored as a credible contributing source. Finally, we discuss the implications of our proposed two-source model of HA for future research at the inter-sport level.","PeriodicalId":36417,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Analytics","volume":"20 1","pages":"67 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83508531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This excitement however does not imply that companies, currently, have a solid understanding how data science creates value. Management rely on data scientists for the value delivery of advanced analytics. Objectives of data scientists and management are not necessarily aligned. Choices made by data scientists might be suboptimal from a wholistic corporate perspective. Conversely management might lack technical expertise. This situation is an example of a principal-agent problem. AstraZeneca is making significant investments in analytical capabilities. AstraZeneca beliefs that investment decisions should not be strictly determined by monetary objectives, instead corporate Core Values should be used as guiding principles. The relationship between objectives and attributes are captured in an objective hierarchy network. This model reduces the information asymmetry between data scientists and its leaders by creating clarity regarding the objectives pursued by AstraZeneca.","PeriodicalId":36417,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Analytics","volume":"59 1","pages":"122 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83586310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a company, being ranked below its competitors indicates that customers are dissatisfied with its products, signalling the need for a review of its strategies. Existing state-of-the-art methods for ascertaining a company’s rank do not utilise the valuable data available on social media or most smart technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence. This study develops a new method to estimate a company’s rank using company-deployed intelligent software agents and social IoT(SIoT) objects. The company objects collect real-time feedback about one or more of the company products from social networks for storage and analysis. These company objects are equipped with questionnaires with important metrics such as the Customer Happiness Index, opinion on features of competitive products, expectations in upcoming models of the product. Then neutrosophic numbers have been used to determine truthiness, falsity and indeterminacy of each opinion and based on such opinions, rank of a company is determined.","PeriodicalId":36417,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Analytics","volume":"SE-13 1","pages":"138 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84644618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MBA is centered around three key parameters: support, confidence, and lift, and the choice of starting values for these parameters can have a significant impact on the results of the analysis. We develop a procedure in R around the Apriori algorithm to help in identifying lift maximising rules when the support covers a specified proportion. The procedure facilitates the choice of minimum parameters, eliminates redundancies, and organizes the resulting association rules into actionable formats. When applied to the US auto repair data, we find un-exploited bundling packages that can be added to the scheduled maintenance services of traditional marketing campaigns.","PeriodicalId":36417,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Analytics","volume":"9 1","pages":"79 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84242225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also used the General Linear Neural Network (GRNN) model to forecast the trend and number of daily COVID-19 cases in these European countries. The results reveal a statistically significant negative relationship between the number of COVID-19 infections and weather factors of temperature & absolute humidity. Furthermore, the results show a stronger negative relationship between COVID-19 and absolute humidity than temperature. In our proposed GRNN method, we find better compatibility for the COVID-19 cases in Italy relative to the other European countries in this study.","PeriodicalId":36417,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Analytics","volume":"56 1","pages":"93 - 106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77636239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
