Summary

DVD Format Battle explores the intense rivalry between DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD-RAM formats, revealing how this battle reshaped the optical media industry and influenced data storage technology. The book dissects the intricate web of industry alliances, technical specifications, and market maneuvers that defined the DVD format war. It highlights that the outcome wasn't solely determined by technical superiority; strategic alliances and consumer preferences played a significant role. For example, aggressive marketing campaigns often overshadowed minor technical advantages. The book uniquely blends technical analysis with business strategy and consumer behavior, offering a holistic view.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the key players and technical specifications, it progresses to examining the formation of competing industry alliances, such as the DVD Forum and the DVD+RW Alliance. It analyzes the strategic decisions made during the DVD format war, including licensing agreements and marketing campaigns, and concludes by assessing the long-term impact of the format war on subsequent technologies. Readers will gain insights into how standards are set in technology industries and the forces that drive technological innovation.

    The potential of HR analytics is a major discussion among scholars, practitioners, thought leaders, and technology vendors, with companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Meta digging deeply into HR research and analytics practices that extend beyond simple metrics, scorecards, and reporting. 
     
      
     
    Additionally, ethical questions have begun to arise about the potential abuses of HR analytics with respect to technological advancements and the "datafication" of personal characteristics, preferences, and behaviors that have little relevance to job performance. 
     
     
     
    As a former chief human resources officer, head of Global HR Research and Analytics at a Fortune 100, and thought leader on this subject, Salvatore Falletta has witnessed first-hand the emergence of "creepy analytics" as a hot-button issue. 
     
      
     
    In this one-of-a-kind guide, Falletta delivers a proven step-by-step process for establishing HR analytics capabilities that serve employees and organizations alike. You'll learn how to rethink and redefine HR analytics, determine stakeholder requirements, gather and transform data, communicate intelligence results, and establish an ethical ecosystem to ensure HR analytics remains a force for good.
