Predictive Analytics for Business Using R
The fields of mathematical statistics, statistical graphics, computer science and operations research have created the rich set of methods now called Analytics. Often analytics is characterized along three poles: descriptive analytics (what do data tell us), predictive analytics (what can be forecast based on the data, and with what certainty), and prescriptive analytics (how can the data inform changes to improve system performance).This book focuses on the second pole, predictive analytics. The areas of predicting a number, a class, and dynamic behavior are distinct, with different methods. This text has three parts based on these areas. Topics in predicting a number include simple and multiple linear regression, transformation of variables, analysis of observational data via cross-validation, the generalized linear model, designed experiments, and Gaussian process and neural network regression. Classification methods include neural networks, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbor, and linear discriminant analysis. Methods for predicting dynamic behavior include trend analysis, time series analysis and discrete-event dynamic simulation.Characterizing prediction uncertainty is a key focus of this text. The text provides analytic methods appropriate to each area, with an explicit process for applying such methods. Case data with corresponding R code are used to illustrate each method.Predictive Analytics for Business using R is designed for a hybrid class structure. Class sessions can be a blend of lecture format and flipped classroom case analyses. In a two-meetings-per-week fifteen-week structure, one day per week would be devoted to explaining methodology and presenting a case study, with the second day focused on coaching. Given the case structure, the text does not contain homework problems. Instead, at the end of each chapter there are links to cases posted online.

Interpersonal Communication and Conflicts
Like negotiation, mediation is a method of conflict management which is essentially based on the development of communication between the parties. However, we must not fall into "the naivety of considering communication as a universal solvent for conflict, the simple application of which would be a guarantee of improvement of things". On the contrary, communication can serve both to reduce and intensify conflict and can be used to transmit messages of both hatred and threat as well as reconciliation. To summarize, communication is a useful and necessary tool in mediation, but, again, "good communication cannot guarantee that the conflict will be resolved or even improved, but poor communication greatly increases the likelihood that the conflict will escalate ". Thus, we will examine the particularities of conflictual communication in the epistemological analysis of the main phases of the mediation process by including the recall of the facts, as seen by the protagonists and we will present the best means of group management for communicative leadership.

International market entry strategies - Latin America
The internationalisation of companies has been the focus of many studies and has been approached from different perspectives. Most of them detail aspects of branding strategies and expanding operations, while others deal with financial aspects. In relation to other approaches, different reasons are given for entering the international market. The aim of this study was to investigate the strategies for entering international markets used by a Brazilian pharmaceutical company that is undergoing the process of internationalisation. To this end, it was based on a theoretical framework and, based on data obtained from primary and secondary sources, direct observation, direct contacts and the application of a questionnaire, a diagnosis was made of the stage of internationalisation of this company. The study was characterised as qualitative and exploratory with an illustrative case study. As a result, it was found that although the company has entered six countries in the last three years, this short period does not allow for an in-depth analysis of the financial return, on the other hand the current stage of internationalisation.

Milk Processing on a Family Farm
This study was carried out to analyse the feasibility of setting up a milk processing agro-industry on a family dairy farm located in the rural area of Campestre/MG in 2014, with the aim of assessing the technical, economic and financial viability of milk processing. The results show that the agro-industrial activity is economically viable and can make a profit. However, from a financial point of view, this activity is inefficient due to the high demand for resources and low return on capital invested, resulting in a low opportunity cost. This can be attributed to the bureaucratic difficulties that exist in the municipality of Campestre/MG, forcing the agro-industry to invest excessively in facilities and machinery that are unnecessary given its estimated production. With this in mind, it can be concluded that, faced with the impositions of municipal legislation, there is no justification for setting up the agro-industry for as long as there is no municipal legislation regulating agro-industrial production for commercialisation in the municipality.
Effects of corporate reputation on the cost of equity capital
Corporate reputation is a representation of users' assessment of a company's actions, and these actions can increase reputational capital and reduce the risks inherent in the activity. Therefore, the aim of this study is to verify whether corporate reputation contributes to a lower cost of equity for Brazilian listed companies. As corporate reputation is a set of perceptions from different stakeholders, we used the Corporate Sustainability Index to capture the perceptions of investors, environmental agents, independent auditors and public purpose organizations; the ranking of the magazine As Melhores da Dinheiro to capture the perceptions of market analysts, and the Social Disclosure Index, prepared by Gon癟alves, De Medeiros and Gon癟alves (2012), to capture the perceptions of investors and external users. As for the cost of equity, the model used was the Gordon model. To this end, 56 companies on the Ibovespa were analyzed from 2008 to 2012.

Intrapreneurial Organizations
The content of this book presents research that sought to identify the reasons that lead employees of intrapreneurial companies to create their own businesses. A field study was carried out in which five former employees of a company considered to be intrapreneurial were interviewed, all of whom had left the organization in order to set up their own businesses. The data obtained in the field research allowed us to formulate hypotheses that indicate, above all, a certain common conception among the subjects interviewed about the figure of the entrepreneur. This conception then appears as a possible explanatory nucleus for the reasons why these individuals preferred the risks of entrepreneurship to the relative stability of intrapreneurship.
Development of the Western Territories of Lualaba Province
SummaryLualaba province is one of the four provinces resulting from the division of the former Katanga province. This rich mining province is administratively made up of five territories and two towns. It is experiencing considerable economic growth, mainly due to mining royalties from the export of copper cathodes and cobalt hydroxides. However, this economic growth is only really palpable in the southern territories and towns: the Mutshatsha and Lubudi territories and the town of Kolwezi. As for the western territories: Kapanga, Sandoa and Dilolo, they are not benefiting from this economic growth, and it's a real struggle. So, these western territories are really lagging behind in terms of development. The exit plan we have proposed is a triptych, as follows: 1. creation of two public companies owned by Lualaba province; 2. creation of two portfolios, one containing mineral resource concessions and the other agropastoral and fishing resource concessions; 3. production of gold through small-scale industrial mining.
