This one is about Alka-selzer. Alka-selzer, for you young kids, was a stomach ache remedy. Each pill was about the size of a quarter and came stacked in a glass bottle. Due to the fact that the pill that it could flake apart when exposed to sunlight, a paper wrapper was put around the bottle. There was a little tear strip that you took off. Some of the edges could be seen. So when you got down to 4 pills showing, you need to buy some more so you will not run out. That is a graphic illustration on a Decision Support Systems giving the decision maker information. The company had a little song, “when you’re down to four, now is the time to buy some more”.

So your job is to select either Market Basket Analysis (items that are purchased together) or Consumer Clustering (individuals who have some common demographics tend to buy the same products/services) and give us some examples from our personal lives or from friends/associates. Even from work.

Microsoft Operating Systems
Microsoft, after 14 years, ended support of Windows XP. Shortly after Microsoft introduced Windows 10.
It falls right into a very standard Life Cycle model. The support costs were getting higher
and higher with no new sales to help carry the load. Windows 7 is now the work horse
by many companies and individuals. Windows 8 and 8.1 were not well received. But,
according to Microsoft, over 110 million computers have Windows 10 as their operating
systems by March of 2016.
