Rezensionen

"This book serves as an introduction to and definition of what constitutes 'big data' and touches on some of the issues encountered in using large data sets, including analytical and ethical challenges. ... The book seems most appropriate for pharmaceutical company managers and executives, as it creates an awareness of the availability and potential of tapping into big data." (Michael R. Jacobs, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)
