There has been a growing interest in the subject of internal marketing: issues and perspectives, principles, foundations and concepts in recent years amongst academics and practitioners because there is a belief that successful and improvement in a competitive market gains through deliver better service to customer (firstly, to internal customers; i.e., employees of organization) and create satisfaction in them which in turn influence consumer patronage and loyalty, and consumer decision-making. The significant role of the internal marketing is to developing and maintaining relationships with the internal stakeholders of a contemporary organisation. There is an extensive belief in today's society on how the company viewed by key stakeholders such as investors and shareholders, consumers and customers (both internal and external), members of the community and employees in which the company resides.The challenge is to explore new and effective ways to harness the power of the communication opportunities it presents to engage with stakeholders in interactive, immediate and innovative ways. Any successful communication campaign will include them in its strategy. We view the study of the relationship between internal marketing, internal and external stakeholders, and companies to be timely topics for further investigation.

In an era marked by escalating energy demands and imperatives of environmental stewardship, this compendium serves as a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted dimensions shaping contemporary energy development, with a focal lens on the symbiotic relationship between energy, information, and transportation systems. The canvas of 2023's energy evolution is painted against the backdrop of heightened consciousness surrounding climate change and environmental degradation. This epoch witnesses an unyielding momentum toward sustainability, catalyzed by a profound shift in energy-sourcing paradigms. Renewable energy sources—solar, wind, hydro, and beyond—attain unprecedented prominence, not merely as alternative energy options but as linchpins of a redefined energy matrix, fostered by advancements in technology, economics, and scalability. At the nexus of this transformative energy landscape lies the realm of Energy Informatics—a domain where information technologies converge with energy systems. Smart grids, IoT-enabled devices, data analytics, and artificial intelligence orchestrate a symphony of efficiency and optimization, revolutionizing energy management, demand-response dynamics, and grid resilience. The fusion of information technology and energy infrastructures stands poised to usher in an era of unprecedented interconnectivity and adaptability. Transportation, an indispensable facet of the energy ecosystem, undergoes a metamorphosis in 2023. Electrification, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and advancements in sustainable fuels reimagine mobility paradigms, heralding a transition toward greener, more efficient transportation systems. The synergy between energy and transportation, facilitated by data-driven insights and technological innovations, propels the convergence of these domains toward a more sustainable future. Moreover, the global socio-political landscape assumes paramount significance in shaping the contours of energy dynamics. Geopolitical considerations, international collaborations, and policy frameworks delineate the trajectory of energy infrastructure investments, trade patterns, and the realization of sustainable energy transitions on a global scale. Yet, within the narrative of progress, challenges persist. Legacy infrastructures, regulatory complexities, socio-economic disparities, and the imperative of inclusive transitions underscore the complexities inherent in reshaping the energy and transportation landscapes.

This book continues the previous edition: Samsul Ariffin Abdul Karim (2022). Intelligent Systems Modeling and Simulation II: Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Efficient Numerical Algorithm and Statistical Methods, Studies in Systems, Decision and Control (SSDC, volume 444, 22k Access). After two years, Intelligent Systems Modeling and Simulation have evolved tremendously through the latest and advanced emergence technologies and many highly sophisticated algorithms have been developed by blending artificial intelligence (AI) and mathematics, statistics, data modelling and other related research areas.

This book presents the advances in the concept, model, method, and tools for the global supply chain management. The conference took place in Marrakesh from May 2 to May 4, 2024. The 7th edition of this conference focused on Smart Sustainable and Green Logistics. The papers included in the book's proceedings cover various themes, such as:

It’s been said before but April ‘78 was an incredible month for the Dead. Like May ‘77, you could throw a dart and guarantee you hit a stellar show. - KyloRensPecs, r/gratefuldead, Reddit …. April/May '78 has a lot of the same qualities of Spring '77 but with some extra edge and a much bigger sound from the Rhythm Devils. A really special era that often gets neglected. - viewtiful_alan, r/gratefuldead, Reddit Sportatorium - April 7, 1978 when drums started I thought, oh s*#!, i hate drum solos and Billy and Mickey stopped me in my tracks. Wow, these guys are really good. Little did I know the pervasive influence this phenomena would have on my life. - pearlybakerbest, Dead.net. Huntington Civic Centre, West Virginia – 16 April 1978 This is another must-hear concert by The Grateful Dead. The sound and mix are almost ‘absolutely perfect'… It’s difficult to pick out highlights because everything is played so well; the band are tight, Donna is great and the set list is strong. - Grateful Ted, gratefulted.co.uk
