Business Analysis: Information should be collected by recording label on the market competition, estimated sales, estimated cost, expected rate of return and profitability (this should be easy as the company is been run from the garage of the band leader who is not expecting to receive any pay for the next 3 years. Introduction/Launch: Once the CDs have been tested to make sure it works the way it should, it is made available to customers, most times some companies will launch it at once or launch it to a select group or in phases. The similarities can be seen the ideas stated above and the New-Product development process in the text book such as the Concept Development which can be compared to the idea generation, development stage some of the stages intertwine with another. The Product design which is the stage of designing the actual product which is similar to the development and testing phase of the product to ensure it meets the specifications and durability expected. Pilot Production/ Testing in this stage the products requires testing before they are put into full production, this stage can be compared to introduction and launch phase, it can be launched in phases to get feedback before the full launch of the product.

...Johnathan Yow Jian Jia (13084413) Marketing Management Tutorial Group: 4 Reading 6: Collaborative advantage 1. Collaborative advantage is synergy achieved by integrating resources plus expertise of one organization and provides a foundation or counterbalance to “Competitive Advantage” 2. The 3 main fundamental characteristics of collaborative advantage is that they must yield benefits for the partners and they are more than just the deal. They are also alliances that both partners ultimately deem successful involve collaboration rather than mere exchange. Collaborative advantage cannot be controlled by formal systems but require a dense web at interpersonal connections and internal infrastructures that enhance learning. 3. There are also 3 varieties of relationships which are mutual service consortia that means similar industries pool their resources together to gain benefit too expensive to acquire alone. Joint ventures are companies pursuing an opportunity that requires capabilities from each of them and value-chain partnerships are supplier-consumer relationships. 4. Relationships between companies begin, grow and develop much like relationship between people. Like romances and alliances, they are built on hopes and dreams, what might happen if certain opportunities are pursued? 5. The 8 I’s that create a successful we are first individual excellence, importance, independence, investment, information, integration, institutionalization and integrity. ...

...Jess Westerly Case Study Based upon your reading and analysis of the Jess Westerly case, what change strategy would you have used if you were Jess Westerly? For Example, would you have used a top-down rapid strategy, a high-involvement-staged strategy? Why? What would be your implementation plan? For example, what would you do first? How would you time phase it? What are the critical (pivotal) actions that must succeed? Based upon my reading and analysis of the Jess Westerly case study, I would have implemented a high-involvement, phased change strategy. Changing the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sales approach from targeting of small and medium business to large organizations is a strategic change for Kauflauf. In order for changes to be made, it is necessary to implement through phases. Key elements are leadership engagement and compensation design. In order to inform my approach with industry best practices, I interviewed a Saas sales leader. To illustrate and frame my approach, I will use Kurt Lewin’s three-phase model for change. In Phase one, we must unfreeze the system. During the first three months, the CEO of Kauflauf must champion the change to pursue SaaS contracts with large organizations (Sales Class 1-3 firms, $500,000+ annual revenue). Using Jess Westerly’s data affirming the opportunity for 30% growth, the CEO must communicate the organization’s change in client targeting; he must also indicate the implied crisis: only those SaaS firms...

...process can be anything from an annual performance appraisal to an all-encompassing performance management policy that includes development, compensation, and succession plans. No matter what process your company uses, all review processes have a lifecycle. A lifecycle is the sum of all the phases that make up your company’s review process from start to finish. Typically, one phase flows into another until the process is complete. For example, a general lifecycle might include four main phases that flow as follows: ◾1 : The initial Planning Phase at the beginning of the fiscal year that allows a manager and employee to determine what content to include in the performance appraisal form. ◾2 : Followed in a few months by a Progress Check Phase where the manager and the employee meet to touch-base on their progress to date. ◾3 : Followed in another few months by the Assessment Phase, in which the manager and employee use the appraisal form to evaluate the employee based on the exhibited accomplishments of the year. ◾ 4 : Followed by the final Analysis Phase, in which the manager determines the reward and compensation based on data gathered during the Assessment Phase. How SuccessFactors fits into your company review process SuccessFactors is designed to work with your company's review process, with the review process as the focal point and SuccessFactors as the tool that facilitates the implementation. SuccessFactors supports and automates review logistics...

...manageable segments or phases. The software development projects include initiation, planning, analyzing, design, programming, testing, implementation, and maintenance phases. Through the feasibility study task the system is investigated to use the existing program or to change it. Once the decision is made through the feasibility analysis the decision is made to move forward or not, which is called the “Go/No-Go” (Rainer & Turban, 2009). The system analysis examines the problem in the business and makes plans to enhance or create a new system through an information system. To make sure if the system will be able to complete the assignment is done through the systems design. This function has two aspects, which is the logical design and physical design (what and how). Programming transfers the designs into computer codes. Testing requires the system to continuously check to see if the computer codes will produce the end results that are expected. To convert old information to a new system is the implementation stage. The converting is three stages of implementation, which is direct, pilot, and phased. Once the old system is replaced and the new system is stabilized audits are performed. In addition, maintenance is done, the first type of maintenance is debugging- this is done throughout the life of the system. Updating the system is needed, which is used to record the change in the business. Finally, the system needs additions, which allows the phase to add new functions to...

...assets. The goal of the Shore Facilities Planning Process is to achieve mission readiness. The Shore Facility Planning Process is a critical part of the Navy's process of maintaining land and shore facilities. It precedes the facility programming, budgeting, funding and implementation phases necessary for prudent management of Navy's facilities. It is a process that analyzes existing facilities and their conditions; the facilities needed to perform assigned mission; existing facilities use; and how to achieve efficient facility utilization, thus minimizing facility footprint. It is a tool used to develop and implement site-specific solution necessary to successfully acquire, maintain, optimally utilize, and dispose of shore assets. It allows planners to locate surplus facilities that may be appropriate to help satisfy other identified facility deficiencies, in order to enhance efficient utilization of existing assets and to improve mission capability. The first slide shows how the Shore Facility Planning System fits into the Navy's broader planning and asset management efforts. The SFPS process consists of five principal steps or phases: 1. Facilities requirements (BFR) 2. Asset evaluation 3. Analysis, Concepts and Proposal 4. Implementation (INFADS) S. Facility Planning Documents BFRs is the first step of the planning process and its intent is to provide the optimal footprint for a command to perform its mission. BFRs cover entire functional categories of use such as...

...respect to the equivalent IF filter mask. Fig. 11 show the summary of the measurement results from the sine wave accuracy, frequency error and selectivity assessment performed using pseudo-randomly generated sine wave excitations signals in bands C and D. Two hundred sine waves with random amplitude, frequency and phase were generated at each band. The amplitudes were uniformly distributed between 80 dBμV and 120 dBμV, the phases were uniformly distributed in the [0, 2π] range, and the frequencies where equidistantly chosen between the upper and the lower frequency of the band plus a random frequency shift uniformly distributed between ±RBW/2. In this regard, the three subplots in Fig. 11 show the performance of the Full TDEMI measurement system is compliant with standard requirements since all the measured points are included in the tolerance margins declared in Table I. Interestingly, this methodology can be interpreted as an empirical Monte Carlo evaluation of the baseline parameters variability in measuring receivers. Consequently, the statistical information obtained from previous measurements enabled additional exploitation of the result, comprising the analysis of the approximated distribution of the parameters under assessment. Fig. 12, shows the histograms of relative frequency for the error in the amplitude of the measured tones. This information can be used in more realistic uncertainty estimations in EMI measurements.

...Phases of Organizational Change: Concord Bookshop Conflict University of Phoenix Phases of Organizational Change: Concord Bookshop Conflict Organizational change is a never-ending process. Knowing how to approach, present, and effectively implement change depends on several factors. The three phases of Lewin’s Force Field Model: unfreezing, change, and refreezing allow the change process to take place (Borkowski, 2005). Using these phases change can be presented, discussed, and ultimately implemented with success. For organizations to continue to grow and become ever more prosperous, change has to be continuously refined. In this paper, a brief discussion of the phases of organizational change as well as an examination of the organizational change processes not implemented in the Concord Bookshop conflict will be conducted. Lewin’s Phases of Organizational Change Unfreezing Borkowski (2005) states, “The forces and workers involved in perpetuating resistance acquire an understanding of variances that exist between current practices and behavior and desired activities and behavior” (pp. 384-385). The organization must perform an investigation to see what type of resisting forces they may face in regard to the proposed change. An organization will not be effective in creating change unless motivation within the organization is manifested. Understanding that change requires some new knowledge to be learned and some old knowledge to be unlearned. This fact is...

...reduction of a very simple front-end block for the calculus of phase transition metrics on a continuous phase modulation (CPM) receiver. A quasi-optimum receiver of very low complexity is attained by splitting the function of the optimum receiver bank filters in two blocks: calculus of projections coefficients on a low dimensional space of Walsh functions followed by simple matrix calculus. A sequence detection algorithm follows this block. The presented approach enables the reduction of the matched filters or correlators to just two integrators, regardless of the CPM scheme. Research on the reduction limits of the space dimension is conducted using catastrophic M-ary CPM schemes, taking advantage of their very low number of phase states. Performance of 1REC h=1/2 16-ary scheme is for the fist time presented. A rule is defined concerning the number of Walsh functions that must be used. That outcome proves to be valid for two CPM schemes of high power gain. The receiver is tested under additive white gaussian noise (AWGN). The carrier frequency is fc, where ωc=2πfc, ϕ0 is the arbitrary initial phase and Es is the energy per symbol, related with the bit energy by Es=log2(M)⋅Eb. Channel symbols are γi∈{±1, ±3, ⋅⋅⋅, ±(M-1)}, forming the M-ary sequence γ . Each symbol γi carries log2(M) bits as a result of a natural mapping of the information bits stream α. The information carried by NS channel symbols is keyed in signal’s phase: ϕ (t , γ ) = 2π...

...List and briefly discuss the stages of a multimedia project. Be sure to define the milestones that mark the completion of the phase. Firstly, you must develop a sense of its scope and content, having a rough idea in your head on how to design your project. Then I have to develop an organized outline and a plan that is rational in terms of the skills, time, budget, tools, and resources that I have in hand. Scheduling, once I have worked out with my plan that include the phases, tasks and work items that I feel will be required. I have to layout these elements along a timeline. This will usually include milestones at which certain deliverables are to be done. To create a schedule I must estimate the total time required for each task. After scheduling, estimating the cost of the project will be relevant to estimate the entire cost after the project has been completed. It is relatively simple matter to estimate cost and effort, For example, the manufacturing industry. Having a progressive accounts and billing will be saved to review the financial part of the project, for example preparing a cost sheet. Finally, write and structure the elements of the multimedia project. Potential clients do not have a clue about how to make multimedia, but they do have a vision on their project. As a project designer, I will know what, my clients want and how to satisfy them. I occasionally may encounter a more formal request of proposal. This are typically detailed documents from large corporation...

...Dr. Joanna Pajak Introduction: Objective Determination of the solubility limits in a ternary system of water and two other liquids, one of which is completely miscible and the other is partly miscible with water. According to the phase rule of Gibbs the variance F (number of degrees of freedom) of a system at equilibrium is equal to the number of components c minus the number of phases p plus 2, provided that the equilibrium is influenced only by temperature, pressure, and concentration. A system with three independent components has F=5-P degrees of freedom. An invariant point in a ternary system therefore contains five different phases in equilibrium with each other. An invariant point can for example consist of a vapor phase, a liquid phase, and three solid phases in equilibrium with each other. A ternary system with three phases (solid-liquid-vapor) in equilibrium with each other has two degrees of freedom. If the temperature is fixed, one degree of freedom remains. A phase diagram isotherm showing a ternary system with a vapor phase and a liquid phase requires therefore a line to mark the concentration range in which a solid phase is in equilibrium with the other two phases. A point needed to mark concentrations where two solid phases are in equilibrium with liquid and vapor.

...When discussing leadership we need to remember that this concept requires two or more people to be involved, a leader and a follower(s). In order for these 2 people to interact there must be communication between the two. The Leadership Expectancy (LMX) theory covers the relational concept between a leader and his followers; it puts an emphasis on the dyadic interactions between the two. There are three phases of the LMX theory. It first starts with the stranger phase. In this initial phase the communications and interactions are just beginning. The two parties only engage in interactions that pertain to the objective. At this point in the relationship the motives of the follower are initiated by self-interest. This is descriptive of what is considered to be the out-group. In phase two, the relationship graduates to the acquaintance phase. In this phase we will see the relationship become more interrelated. There is a sharing of ideas and resources from both the leader and the follower. The motives begin to progress to be focused more on the goals, rather than self interest as it was in the beginning of this dyadic relationship. Here is the tipping point of whether a follower is part of the in or the out-group. In the third and final stage, the relationship has matured to a point where there is trust and respect between the leader and the follower. Due to this respect and trust, the follower will be more inclined to have the best interest of the goal set by the leader and work...
