This book was released on 2018-12-09 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems Disney understand what which visitor's individual psychological needs, who needs to pay reasonable ticket fee and who also dislike to need to wait long time to queue to play any entertainment facilities. Disney also understand cleaners have extra time to serve visitors when who can answer any visitor individual enquiries immediately. After the cleaners will feel satisfactory and happy if who can give positive feedback from any visitor individual enquiry. The cleaner will feel more valuable to Disney employer, due to who can do any enquiry duty during whose working hours. The most important, who have chance to get higher salary and promotion. Thus, Disney can predict visitor and staff individual psychological needs, then it can raise new and keep old visitor numbers and keep old staffs to choose to stay to it's organization to work for long term. It can earn more economic benefit for long term after it can predict whose staffs and visitors whose psychology needs successfully.Disney (AI) tool market research survey method In behavioral economy view point, it can explain why market research can predict consumption behavior for Disney consumers. Disney can apply (AI) tool to use market research method to predict what consumer behavior trend. In general, consumer will have choice behavior, when who needs to do decision to buy automobile among of more than one product choice or with the determinants of such consumer behavior as buying life insurance, putting money in a pension plan, using credit cards etc. actions. By comparison, questions about behaviors that involve a choice among less or more options are usually studied at a lower level of generality. Thus, consumption psychologists may be interested to know why consumers buy one second of automobile rather than another, why who choose one type of medical treatment over another, or why who fly one airline rather than another. So, consumption psychologists must clearly define the action, target, context and time elements of the behavioral alternatives to predict whose consumption behavior. For example, the decision to buy tickets on one airlines rather than another can be affected by the destination ( target element): A consumer may prefer one airline for overseas flights , but another for domestic flights. Similarly , choice of insurance company may vary depending on whether who buy life insurance, automobile insurance or property insurance.Why will decisions under uncertainty cause? In consumer choice process, who has chance to encounter decisions under uncertainty. For example, the attributes of each product were assumed to be known with certainty. Thus, the consumers knew the price, picture, quality, reliability and visual appeal of each product type. All consumers need to do was to be importance weights and subjective values to these attributes and then derive a weighted average. In many of choice alternatives are not known with certainty ahead of time. Often, the outcomes are produced by decision depend on the state of the world at the time and the decision is made. For another example, a LCD television can produce a high -definition picture only of the service providers transmit high-definition programs. To take this uncertainty into account, the consumer has to judge not only the value of a high-definition display , but also the likelihood that this attribution will be available.Perhaps, more readily recognized are the risks and uncertainties inherent in investment decisions. The investment outcomes of a decision to invest in a fixed interest certificate of deposit or a stock market mutual fund depend on future market conditions. Whereas the CD produces a known payoff over a given time period, the amount and probability of possible gains or losses to be expected of the mutual fund can only be estimated.

Whether it can raise productivities and improve service performance?This book aims to explain why and how future artificial intelligent technology ( big data gathering method) can be applied to assit businesses to predict why and when and how consumer behavior changes. I shall explain why traditional psychological and statistic and marketing methods are applied to predict consumer behaviors, human's judgement and analytical effort will be worse to compare AI machine's judgement and analytical effort. Also, I shall indicate different business organizations why they apply AI big data gathering method to help them to design any questionnaires ( surveys) questions which will be more valid and useful to conclude human's questionnaires ( surveys) design questions method.This book has these two research questions need to be answered?(1)Can apply (AI) learning machine predict consumer behaviors?(2)Can (AI) learning machine replace human marketing research method, e.g. survey or human psychological and micro and macro economic methods to predict consumer behaviors more accurate?Nowadays, many businessmen or marketing research professional hope to apply different methods to predict consumer behaviors in order to know what will be future market activities and market changes to help them to choose to implement what kinds of marketing strategies more accurately. The methods include economic environmental change prediction method, consumer individual psychological change prediction method, micro or macro behavioral economic environmental change prediction method, marketing environmental change prediction method etc. different kinds of methods which can be applied to predict how consumer behavioral changes to influence whose behavioral consumption to the manufacturer products sale within one to two years short term or three to five years middle term, even above five years long term business plans.Hence, if the product manufacturers can apply the most suitable consumer behavioral prediction method to predict how consumers' choice will be changed to influence their products sale easily. It will have more beneficial intangible and tangible advantages to achieve the their product easier sale aim to ensure their businesses' future market share to be increased more easier to their countries' choice target sale markets. Otherwise, if they applied the inaccurate consumer behavioral prediction methods to predict how their consumers' behavioral changes wrongly. Then, it will influence their market shares to be same level, even it will decrease their market shares, when their consumer behavioral prediction inaccurately.In my this book first part, I concentrate on indicate whether any artificial intelligence (AI) tools will be one kind of good consumer behavioral prediction method to be choose to apply to predict consumer behaviors.

Does it have weaknesses to be applied to predict consumer behaviors, instead of strengths? Can it be applied to predict consumer behaviors depending on any situations of only some situation?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, the current technological changes of humans and machines, but rather an opportunity for work to truly become a channel though which human recognize full potential. As US is a high technological developed country. I assume many US employers will choose to act to be the first high technological and invention manufacturing leader to encourage which labors need to learn high technological production methods to prepare manufacture any new technological products to sell in the future US domestic or foreign both markets. Thus, it is possible that future high technological manufacturing labor numbers will be shared large go e.g. 50 to 60% future total US labor market.How can future US labor market affect job creation and productivity growth? US future economic growth requires factor reallocation across US firms and continuous replacement of technologies. US labor market influences US economy dynamism by their impact on the supply of a key factor, skilled workers to US new and expanding firms, US growth -favoring labor market includes portable pension plans and health insurance united to the current US employers, individualized wage-setting and US public income insurance systems that encourage mobility and risk taking. US future economic growth arises as production shifts from less to more successful firms though the reallocation of factors of production . US labor market can advance restructuring. Overly regulations tend to create a system in which a large share of economic activity occurs in US small firms without the ability to grow. US labor market should be organized to promote potential high growth US firms, especially through decentralized and individualized wage setting, portable jobs.In the future, US will have many key importance of high growth firms. US capitalism entails a process of creative destination. New ideas continuously challenges act structures, giving rise to structural transformation as successful innovations and new products firms and industries will arise and obsolete ones will decline in US society. Martin, J. P. (2012) studies pointed to high-growth forms ( sometimes known as gazelles) as the main drivers of this process. In the US, an estimated 1% of firms creation 40% of all new jobs and 5% create almost 70% of new jobs. A review of the studies of US firms growth reveals some common findings . US high-growth firms are crucial to net job growth, generating a large share of all net jobs . This is particularly pronounced in recessions, when US high-growth firms continue to grow when other US firms deadline. US small firms are over-represented among high-growth firms, but these US firms come in all sizes . A small subgroup of large high growth firms are major job creators. Such as US high -growth firms are younger on average, US young and small high high-growth firms grows, not through mergers and acquisition and make a larger contribution to net employment growth than do US larger and older higher growth firms, high growth firms are present in all industries. Through they are slightly overrepresented in service industries in US.Some economists predict that future US will be a flexible labor market, the marginal product of labor and the average wage in an industry should tend toward equally across US firms. Taking advantage of a legislative change to raise cost to US employers a study measured the gap between the marginal product of labor and the average wage in an industry before and after the reform. The gap increased after the legislation, which suggests that the legislation reduced allocative efficiency. Their studies have suggested that total factor productivity could increase by as much as 30% in China and India of they were to attain the US level of allocation efficiency across firms within individual industries.
