Data mining: practical machine learning tools and techniques, by Ian H. Witten and Eibe Frank.
Description: As with any burgeoning technology that enjoys commercial attention, the use of data mining is surrounded by a great deal of hype. Exaggerated reports tell of secrets that can be uncovered by setting algorithms loose on oceans of data. But there is no magic in machine learning, no hidden power, no alchemy. Instead there is an identifiable body of practical techniques that can extract useful information from raw data. This book describes these techniques and shows how they work. The book is a major revision of the first edition that appeared in 1999. While the basic core remains the same, it has been updated to reflect the changes that have taken place over five years, and now has nearly double the references. The highlights for the new edition include thirty new technique sections; an enhanced Weka machine learning workbench, which now features an interactive interface; comprehensive information on neural networks; a new section on Bayesian networks; plus much more. It includes algorithmic methods at the heart of successful data mining including tried and true techniques as well as leading edge methods. There is performance improvement techniques that work by transforming the input or output. It includes a downloadable Weka, a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks, including tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression, clustering, association rules, and visualizationin in a new, interactive interface.
Making sense of change management: a complete guide to the models, tools and techniques of organizational change, 2nd edition, by Esther Cameron and Mike Green.
Description: Written for students and professionals alike, “Making Sense of Change Management” is the classic text in the field of change management. It is aimed at anyone who wants to understand why change happens, how it happens and what needs to be done to make change a welcome rather than a dreaded concept. It offers considered insights into the many frameworks, models and ways of approaching change and helps the reader to apply the right approach to each unique situation. This fully updated, new edition includes new chapters on recent and emerging research in the area of change management and guidance on how to manage complex change.
