“Business accelerates with Excel×ChatGPT! ” is a recommended book as an introductory book to help you avoid being left behind in such an era.
1. Don't miss out on the AI boom! An introductory book with familiar examples
【Review】
Starting with the AI chat system "ChatGPT" released in November 2022, services equipped with AI technology are appearing one after another. Due to its high performance, it is even being debated whether a situation in which human jobs will be taken over by AI may actually occur.
This book provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the true power of AI technology, which can be said to be the cutting edge of this era. This book teaches you many ways to introduce ChatGPT to Excel and make it more convenient.
For example, there are specific examples of how AI can make business more efficient than ever before, such as ``extracting necessary information from a web page and summarizing it in a table.''
Another appeal of this book is that it teaches you what AI technology can and cannot do by introducing it to Excel. This is an introductory book that will serve as a guide for AI beginners.

What is the difference between failures that lead to success and failures that do not? This world-famous best-selling book uses scientific analysis methods to answer these questions.

Everyone should know that the secret to success is accepting failure, reflecting on it, and learning from it.

3. There is a basis for the idea of scaling up.
【Review】
This book uses various examples to explain the difference between ideas that scale up and ideas that end up being small. This book enumerates the following patterns in which business ideas do not scale:
"False positives" where initial success factors become inapplicable when scaled up, mistakes that result in overestimating customers after scale-up, presence of special elements that cannot be reproduced on a large scale, and negative spillovers (one event leading to another) unforeseen impacts), and whether there are any factors that will increase costs during scale-up.
These are all problems faced by ideas that failed to scale up. Ideas always seem great, sometimes due to the bias of the originator. This book eliminates such self-righteous thinking and clarifies the path to scale-up through logical analysis.
Recommended▶︎ I want to acquire the skills to evaluate ideas from a fair perspective.
