I shortened that link in the Share on the Event to http://ow.ly/2qq5v for tweeting/etc. also.

Vivek Raghuvanshi said… - Dear Arik,
First and foremost I am not a Muslim. Secondly, I am not advocating any religious ideology or propogating any religious ideas.
In Intelligence we have Active Intelligence.
Active Intelligence = Human Intelligence
Human Intellegence for extraction uses MICE .
MICE = Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego
Ideology = Political Ideology and Religious Ideology and Individual Ideology
In Religious Ideology, post September 11 terrorist attacks, Islam is perceived as a Radical Ideology.
Because of this perception, the terrorist and vested interest affect Foreign Investments in emerging markets.
If the Western Super Powers are able to create a positive perception of Democracy and Christianity using the tool of Social Engineering then we can mitigate the risks of Globalization for International businesses.
Islam is not my religious belief nor my religious ideology. My blog post was an attempt to mitigate risks for Christian expats worldwide.
Sorry to have offended you.
Regards

Walter,
I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…
Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective
Klaus
I've been turning this one over and can't find a satisfactory explanation.
Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting. It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…

Bill, I'm having trouble imagining you being pilloried for posting jobs during a global recession. I hope we have lots of trouble of this sort coming!
So, to take this author's point:
Gathering, analyzing and disseminating information sponsored by a major media source financed directly by a combination of pharma, oil, and automotive companies: ethically honorable.
