Throughout the world, artificial intelligence is reshaping businesses, trade interfaces, economic activities, and society as a whole. In recent years, scholarly research on artificial intelligence has emerged from a variety of empirical and applied domains of knowledge. Computer scientists have developed advanced deep learning algorithms to leverage its utility in a variety of fields such as medicine, energy, travel, education, banking, and business management. Although a growing body of literature is shedding light on artificial intelligence-enabled difficulties, there is still much to be gained by applying fresh theory-driven techniques to this vital topic. Revolutionizing Business Practices Through Artificial Intelligence and Data-Rich Environments provides a comprehensive understanding of the business systems, platforms, procedures, and mechanisms that underpin different stakeholders' experiences with reality-enhancing technologies and their transformative application in management. The book also identifies areas in various business processes where artificial intelligence intervention would not only transform the business but would also make the business more sustainable. Covering key topics such as blockchain, business automation, and manufacturing, this reference work is ideal for computer scientists, business owners, managers, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Among the major professions, certified public accountancy has the most severe underrepresentation of African Americans: less than 1 percent of CPAs are black. Theresa Hammond explores the history behind this statistic and chronicles the courage and determination of African Americans who sought to enter the field. In the process, she expands our understanding of the links between race, education, and economics. Drawing on interviews with pioneering black CPAs, among other sources, Hammond sets the stories of black CPAs against the backdrop of the rise of accountancy as a profession, the particular challenges that African Americans trying to enter the field faced, and the strategies that enabled some blacks to become CPAs. Prior to the 1960s, few white-owned accounting firms employed African Americans. Only through nationwide networks established by the first black CPAs did more African Americans gain the requisite professional experience. The civil rights era saw some progress in integrating the field, and black colleges responded by expanding their programs in business and accounting. In the 1980s, however, the backlash against affirmative action heralded the decline of African American participation in accountancy and paved the way for the astonishing lack of diversity that characterizes the field today.
