Over the past years, big data analytics (BDA) has gained more attention in both academic fields and business communities, and it was perceived as very beneficial for organizations.

Människor präglas av omedveten bias, vilket kan vara ogynnsamt i rekrytering för att de bäst lämpade kandidaterna kan väljas bort på andra grunder än deras kompetens. Således har det blivit allt mer förekommande att företag använder AI för att göra objektiva bedömningar. Däremot har det visat sig att AI kan resultera i motsvarande problematik med bias som vid traditionell rekrytering. Sådan proble

Företag har historiskt sett spenderat stora summor på att förvärva ERP-system till verksamheten. En del företag ser även ett värde i att komplettera med IT-stöd för CRM. Att det finns flera skäl till att vissa företag investerar i ett ensamstående CRM-system istället för i en integrerad modul i ERP-system har bekräftats av tidigare forskning. Att däremot avstå från att integrera CRM-och ERP-system

During the Secret War in Laos, 1964-1973, the United States dropped approximately 2 million tons of bombs in Laos. However, 30% of the employed bombs failed to detonate.
