Data mining applications across retail, banking, healthcare, and marketing
In this paper we determine benefits of data mining to the businesses when employing:
1. Predictive analytics to understand the behavior of customers
2. Associations discovery in products sold to customers
3. Web mining to discover business intelligence from Web customers
4. Clustering to find related customer information
The paper also assesses the reliability of the data mining algorithms and then decides if they can be trusted and then predict the errors they are likely to produce. An analysis of the privacy concerns raised by the collection of personal data for mining purposes is also conducted.

One of the largest retailing companies in America, Target Corporation (known simply as Target) is a NYSE listed publicly traded entity. Currently, in terms of size, Target takes the number two slot after Wal-Mart. In this text, I come up with a concise analysis of the company with a special emphasis on its vision and mission, how it is impacted upon by Porter's five forces of competition, its SWOT and strategies it may utilize to enhance both its profitability and competitiveness. Further, I also highlight the various corporate governance issues affecting the decisions of the entity and how they can be handled.
