More specifically, the paper investigates how information like an applicant’s age, credit score, debt, income, and prior default can be used in credit card approval prediction.The dataset used for analysis is a publicly available dataset from the UCI machine learning repository. Logistic regression is used to make a prediction model with a reasonable number of attributes for a comprehensible business model. The Chi-square test of independence is used to test the dependence of credit card approval results with attributes. Research uncovers that prior default is supposed to be the most important attribute in the approval process. Finally, the authors propose several visualizations that could help make smarter decisions with effective credit risk assessment.","PeriodicalId":43580,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48556518","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}

Large construction projects with specific technology implementations put pressure on local public acceptance andcommunity involvement. This pressure is transferred to project management, how to deal with the issue of stakeholder acceptance before, during, and after project execution. Hence, understanding public acceptance and project-specific reputation can prove beneficial. Utilizedmostly in the company Market Intelligence function(MI), modern large dataset media analytics enables mining technology-related sentiments on global, regional, or local project levels. This paper measures the media sentiment towards three large Finnish construction projects.The specific interest is to investigate which stakeholder groups are visible through the editorial and social media and how these can be classified according to the level of required information or participation level. The aim is to gain a numerical value for project reputation, a concept belonging to the marketing field of studies. Relevant technology deployment indications are provided, and a stairs of acceptance concept is conceptualized to reflect the project-specific public acceptance. Specific needs to increase efforts at a local project level are indicated. The means to counteract local resistance can involve the mode of project execution or social marketing.The new algorithm-based method for measuring public acceptance and the introduced stairs of acceptance concept may bring project-level benefits by providing the added focus for increasing public acceptance.","PeriodicalId":43580,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69842370","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}

The first two papers by Søilen and Almedia and Lesca deal with collective intelligence from an intelligence studies perspective. It may be said that the Internet itself is a gigantic collective intelligence effort, the largest in human history. Open source is a prerequisite for this system to work for everyone. The article by Černý et al. is on open source. All other contributions are on the connection between the Internet, software and intelligence. This issue consists of seven articles to compensate for two articles that were taken out by editors in the last issue. The first article by Søilen entitled “Making sense of the collective intelligence field: a review” is a historical review of the field of collective intelligence. The paper shows how collective intelligence is an interdisciplinary field and argues there is a flaw in the notion of “wisdom of crowds”. Collective intelligence can be understood in terms of social systems theory and as such this approach has been fruitful for the social sciences, although so far not very popular. It also bares relevance for the study of business and economics. The second article by Almeida and Lesca is entitled “Collective intelligence process to interpret weak signals and early warnings”. Early warning and the detection of weak signals is a vital topic for any intelligence organization. Two aspects are discussed in the paper, the importance of new technology and collective sense making or interpretation The third article by Shaikh and Singhal entitled “Study on the various intellectual property management strategies used and implemented by ICT firms for business intelligence” deals with intellectual property rights and patenting strategies. The authors identify a number of defensive and offensive IP strategies applied to ICT companies. The results have a bearing on patent acquisitions. The fourth article by Lamrhari et al. is entitled “Web intelligence for understanding customer satisfaction: application of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and the Kano model”. Customer satisfaction today is mostly measured with data from the internet, using different business intelligence techniques. The Kano model is still valuablei,ii, but the way we gather information to assess the different levels in the model has changed. The authors use Latent Dirichlet Allocation to analyze the voice of customer (VOC) in online reviews. They suggest that BI techniques and a fuzzy-Kano model can enable companies to better understand their customers’ online reviews. The fifth article by Nahili et al. is entitled “A new corpus-based convolutional neutral network for big data text analysis”. Companies need efficient ways to analyze everything that is said about them on the internet (reviews, comments). The paper suggests a convolutional neural network (CNN) as it has bee","PeriodicalId":43580,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46825161","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}

It is continuously evolving at a rapid pace and has a short span of the technological life cycle. The use of the software is not restricted only to information and communication technology but is used in all fields of technology. In many cases, the inventive step of a product or service lies solely in the software. Hence, the software plays a crucial role in all fields of technology. However, ease of copying poses a financial risk for the software industry, thereby creating major disincentives to the development of innovation. Still, the technology is changing very fast and firms investing in this technology expect quick returns on their innovation investments. Strategies for generating and managing intellectual property have subsequently taken center stage for information and communication technology companies, and patents have become an important feature providing maximum protection for any technology. Hence, intellectual property rights strategies in general and patenting strategies especially play a crucial role in the information and communication technology industry to be globally competitive. Firms never publish or disclose their intellectual property strategies; hence, this study makes use of the literature review to highlight various intellectual property management strategies used by information and communication technology firms for managing their intellectual property. These strategies can be offensive or defensive and may be used as proactive or reactive depending on various aspects such as market, territory, technology, or time. The insights provided in this work may help the research community from the IT domain in industry and academia to learn and modify their strategies for patent acquisition.","PeriodicalId":43580,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46182455","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}
