- in englischer Sprache - Schriftenreihe innovative betriebswirtschaftliche Forschung und Praxis, Band 578 360 pages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REZENSION in: Ãsterreichische Zeitschrift für Kartellrecht, ÃZK 2024 / Heft 5, S. 201-203: "[.] Die Verfügbarkeit unfassbar umfassender und vielfältiger Datensätze (big data) kann sich als Segen und Fluch zugleich erweisen, wie die vorliegende Dissertation eines international agierenden Managers zeigt, der selbst an der Schnittstelle von Naturwissenschaft, Finanzen und prädiktiven Technologien sitzt. [.] Wasserbacher warnt [.] vor [.] einer kritiklosen Anwendung derartiger Techniken und Werkzeuge. Denn ansonst kann es zu fragwürdigen Schlussfolgerungen kommen, sofern dem datengetriebenen Management keine Werkzeuge zur Erstellung passender Kausalfragen und zur Ãberprüfung von deren Anwendung zugrunde liegen, um die entsprechende Anwendungspraxis begleiten und bei Bedarf lenken zu kà nnen. [.] Werden die einschlägigen Werkzeuge quasi "von der Stange" - also ohne sie den konkreten Umständen und Erfordernissen anzupassen - angewandt, so kà nnen die auf ihnen basierenden unternehmerischen Entscheidungen scheitern. [.] Während Wasserbacher die Entstehung der drei Forschungsarbeiten aus dem "Innenleben eines Unternehmens" unterstreicht, sieht er zum Thema KI-Regulierung groÃe Relevanz für die Leser(innnen) der ÃZK, zumal mit dem bereits oben erwähnten EU AI Act "die weltweit erste 'horizontale' KI-Regulierung und Aufsichtspflicht eingeführt" werde, was aber Hintergrundwissen über KI als Technologie erforderlich mache. [.] Die hier vermittelten Einsichten aus der vordersten Front eines Managers kà nnen dabei wertvolle Dienste leisten." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The availability of large amounts of data, coupled with artificial intelligence and machine learning as suitable techniques to exploit them, has led to increasing interest in data-driven management. Data are turned into insights, and insights into management decisions. In the midst of this passion for artificial intelligence, practitioners must remain aware that most machine learning methods maximize predictive performance. This is not the same as identifying causal patterns. Outside a valid causal framework, machine learning will lead to flawed conclusions about causal effects, and thus to incorrect decisions. Data-driven management requires appropriate tools for causal questions. This book discusses in-depth three concrete examples in the areas of corporate finance and marketing. In financial forecasting, planning and analysis (FP&A), machine learning appears well suited for the highly automated extraction of information from large amounts of data. However, FP&A practitioners need to distinguish between forecasting tasks and tasks related to planning and resource allocation. Off-the-shelf machine learning typically fails for causal inference and is not suited for planning and resource allocation. In pharma marketing, the field force traditionally plays an important role. However, does a traditional field force still add value in an otherwise digital and virtual marketing mix? To answer this question, the impact of a field force within an omnichannel strategy is evaluated in a business experiment. The third use case applies double machine learning to the capital structure puzzle and credit ratings. Double machine learning performs data-driven variable selection out of a large set of individual company characteristics and models their relationship with leverage and credit ratings without any strong assumption about the underlying functional form. This allows to quantify the causal effect of credit ratings, along the rating scale, on the leverage.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
