The main goal of the book is to explore the idea behind data modeling in smart agriculture using information and communication technologies and tools to make agricultural practices more functional, fruitful and profitable. The research in the book looks at the likelihood and level of use of implemented technological components with regard to the adoption of different precision agricultural technologies. To identify the variables affecting farmers’ choices to embrace more precise technology, zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial count data regression models were utilized. Outcomes from the count data analysis of a random sample of various farm operators show that various aspects, including farm dimension, farmer demographics, soil texture, urban impacts, farmer position of liabilities, and position of the farm in a state, were significantly associated with the approval severity and likelihood of precision farming technologies. Farm management information systems (FMIS) have constantly advanced in complexity as they have incorporated new technology, the most recent of which is the internet. However, few FMIS have fully tapped into the internet’s possibilities, and the newly developing idea of precision agriculture receives little or no support in the FMIS that are now being sold. FMIS for precision agriculture must meet a few more criteria beyond those of regular FMIS, which increases the technological complexity of these systems’ deployment in a number of ways. In order to construct an FMIS that meet these extra needs, the authors here evaluated various cutting-edge web-based methods. The goal was to determine the requirements that precision agriculture placed on FMIS.

A strategy is a blueprint of actions taken by managers to achieve the organization’s mission and vision and other long-term goals. In long term, strategy determines the success of an organization. While evaluating strategy, a company is essentially asking itself, “Where we are heading to and how we will achieve our goals?” Strategy Analytics is a relatively new field in conjunction with Strategic Management and Business Intelligence. Generally, Strategic Management field deals with the enhancement of the decision-making capabilities of managers. Typically, such decision-making processes are heavily dependent upon various internal and external reports. Managers need to develop their strategies using clear strategy processes supported by the increasing availability of data. This situation calls for a different approach to strategy, such as integration with analytics, as the science of extracting value from data and structuring complex problems. The term Strategic Analytics implies decisions are made, resources are invested, and plans for data and analytics are created based on the needs and critical questions a business is facing. The need for analytical solutions in today’s business environment is crucial because they allow users to think strategically about how an organization builds its core competencies and creates value. This not only informs the entire process, saves a lot of time, effort, and money, but also leads to value creation.This book will be one reference source to academic fraternity, management practitioners, business analysts and research students who are interesting in Strategic Analytics domain and using it in their research/practice work. In addition, the proposed book will be serving as state-of-art documentation of Strategy Analytics, its present role around organizational outcomes and outlines the need for greater integration in organization strategy and analytics for better strategic decision processes to measure corporate performance and business value creation.Distinguished Features of the proposed bookState-of-art documentation of Strategy Analytics for Business Resilience and their applications for all levels of managerial positions.Excellent reference material for academic scientists, researcher and research scholars working in modern Strategy Analytics and Information Systems.This book will showcase the recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as applied challenges encountered, and solutions adopted in the fields of Strategy Analytics
