Data Mining Techniques: Fοr Marketing, Sales, аnԁ Customer Relationship Management
The first book on Data Mining everyone should read,
It covers almost every aspect of data mining. It is clear, precise, goes to the point, and sometimes goes into some depth. If you are a marketing person, it will give you a very refined idea of what can be done with data mining, and what does it involves for your company ( remember the first thing you need is DATA!!). If you are an academic person, you will get a general idea of the different kinds of data analysis. You won’t see any formulae or algorithms, after reading this book look for details somewhere else.

|Author’s comment,
Although this book was not written as a text book, we have noticed that it is frequently used that way. For the benefit of instructors, we have collected some exercises and datasets that can be used in the classroom or for self study. These can be found at http://www.data-miners.com/companion.

|Good Introduction book, not limited to Marketing,
The authors explain in a detailed way the most popular Data Mining techniques. The topics about Neuronal Networks, Decision Trees, Market-Basket Analysis and Memory-Based Reasoning are excellent. I think the topic Genetic Algorithms could be a bit more developed, but for the beginner is a good first overview. I have missed a topic about fuzzy logic. Given that the 90% of Data Mining projects are based on Marketing (1:1), the book is absolutely suitable for starting with these concepts, although I feel the book can be used in any other field (Just-In-Time Inventory, Demand Forecasting, Supply Value Chain, etc.) In my opinion, it was very useful for my work and I considered it as a reference book.
