Go global! Wywiady z twórcami polskich firm, które zdobyły rynki międzynarodowe
Krzysztof Rybiński
Gdy polski rynek okazuje się zbyt mały… Kiedy firma zaczyna spoglądać z ciekawością w stronę zagranicznego odbiorcy, zaczynają się koszty i kłopoty. To prawda, ale ekspansję na rynki zagraniczne rozpoczyna się nie po to, by stracić, lecz po to, by zyskać. Jak to zrobić skutecznie, wiedzą bohaterowie tej książki, założyciele i prezesi jedenastu polskich firm, którym udało się dokonać międzynarodowej ekspansji na szeroką skalę. Krzysztof Rybiński przedstawia tu historie ich drogi do sukcesu, zmagania z przeciwnościami gospodarczymi i proceduralnymi czy problemami finansowymi, sposoby przezwyciężania nieufności i różnic kulturowych, i wreszcie skuteczne, wypracowane przez lata metody na podbicie zagranicznych rynków zbytu. Zapoznanie się z tymi wywiadami pozwoli polskim firmom ograniczyć koszty ekspansji międzynarodowej, uniknąć kłopotów i odnieść sukces. Ta książka to także hołd oddany polskiej przedsiębiorczości i jej reprezentantom, którzy - choć zaczynali działalność lokalnie - potrafili myśleć globalnie i patrzeć poza granice naszego kraju. Prof. Krzysztof Rybiński - jeden z najbardziej znanych polskich ekonomistów. Karierę zawodową rozpoczynał jako informatyk w Japonii, potem był głównym ekonomistą kilku banków, wiceprezesem NBP, gdzie pod jego nadzorem zmieniono sposób inwestowania rezerw dewizowych, dzięki czemu Polska w ciągu dwóch lat zarobiła dodatkowo miliard dolarów. Był członkiem Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego, partnerem w globalnej firmie doradczej i członkiem wielu rad nadzorczych. Obecnie jest rektorem Akademii Finansów i Biznesu Vistula, w której studiuje 5000 studentów z 40 krajów. Prowadzi też własną firmę doradczą. W 2012 roku został wybrany przez polskich przedsiębiorców najczęściej słuchanym przez nich ekonomistą. Regularnie występuje w telewizji, pisuje felietony do krajowych dzienników i tygodników, jego artykuły ukazują się też w „Financial Times”. Patroni medialni:

Go is the perfect language for machine learning; it helps to clearly describe complex algorithms, and also helps developers to understand how to run efficient optimized code. This book will teach you how to implement machine learning in Go to make programs that are easy to deploy and code that is not only easy to understand and debug, but also to have its performance measured.The book begins by guiding you through setting up your machine learning environment with Go libraries and capabilities. You will then plunge into regression analysis of a real-life house pricing dataset and build a classification model in Go to classify emails as spam or ham. Using Gonum, Gorgonia, and STL, you will explore time series analysis along with decomposition and clean up your personal Twitter timeline by clustering tweets. In addition to this, you will learn how to recognize handwriting using neural networks and convolutional neural networks. Lastly, you'll learn how to choose the most appropriate machine learning algorithms to use for your projects with the help of a facial detection project.By the end of this book, you will have developed a solid machine learning mindset, a strong hold on the powerful Go toolkit, and a sound understanding of the practical implementations of machine learning algorithms in real-world projects.
