...KRIPALI VIKRAM DROPBOX CASE STUDY – COURSEWORK 2 Question 1 Houston …got the idea for Dropbox while waiting for a bus at Boston’s South Station in December 2006.” (P1 of case study – final paragraph). a) Do you think Dropbox was a creative idea? Please state your reasons. Creativity is not inventing or discovering something completely new. It is the ability to generate new concepts and ideas by combining, reapplying and regenerating existing ideas. There may be some creative ideas that surpass the imagination of a normal individual but there are some that are just simple and practical but haven’t been accomplished by other people (Arrington, 2010). Although the concept for cloud storage had been around for a decade no company was successful in creating a technology that was simple and efficient. Drew Houston, applied creativity and ingenuity to existing ideas and technologies to create a practical product, Dropbox, which is now used worldwide. b) Is creativity a necessary criterion for entrepreneurial success? At the heart of any enterprise there is creativity and innovation. Astute entrepreneurship rises from finding unique opportunities or turning existing concepts into extraordinary successes. No entrepreneur or enterprise, however successful can retain their status without recognizing the need to change and create new opportunities and products to retain customers and eliminate competition. For instance Christopher Lewis realized that when people...

...Dropbox: Novel Innovation or Economic Genius? A Comprehensive Analysis on Electronic Storage. University of California, Los Angeles Engineering 110, Fall 2012 1 Introduction to the File Sharing Industry and Dropbox In an era in which the large majority of information is stored electronically, companies that specialize in online file sharing and cloud storage services feast upon massive consumer demand for remote data storage. By 2011, many of the largest technology companies had already created storage services: Amazon Cloud Drive by Amazon, iCloud by Apple, and Google Drive by Google. Other companies providing similar consumer and enterprise services include Scribd, Mozy, Box, and Carbonite. However, none of these services could have hoped to mirror the success of Dropbox. Founded by Drew Houston (an MIT computer science graduate) in 2007 as a Y Combinator startup, Dropbox was considered “a late entrant to the fiercely competitive online backup and storage services space.” (Eisenmann et al., 2012, p. 2) Y Combinator, a California LLC that financially seeds promising startups in exchange for a small amount of the company’s equity, provided $15,000 to Dropbox. Houston’s endeavor soon grew at an astonishing rate. As of 2011, according to a Dropbox engineer, the company backed up 1 million files every 15 minutes, much more than what storage services created before could achieve. From the outset, Dropbox has been immensely successful. In fact, Dropbox was so promising that Apple’s Steve ...

Without having to host our own datacenter, cloud hosted applications put us in the driver’s seat by offering up key business services we need, but taking away all of the overhead which comes with an enterprise environment. I researched four solutions for small businesses to cover each of the core areas of business needs. My focus was on providing a total business solution for productivity, accounting and sales, quality assurance and customer service, and marketing. For each of the areas identified, a solution was found and vetted through research. I have recommended the purchase of Microsoft Office 365 E1 for use for productivity software. It’s price point is extremely competitive and it provides the most robust set of services available in the market for this type of package...

...August 2013 When people hurt themselves lifting heavy things, it's usually because they try to lift with their back. The right way to lift heavy things is to let your legs do the work. Inexperienced founders make the same mistake when trying to convince investors. They try to convince with their pitch. Most would be better off if they let their startup do the work—if they started by understanding why their startup is worth investing in, then simply explained this well to investors. Investors are looking for startups that will be very successful. But that test is not as simple as it sounds. In startups, as in a lot of other domains, the distribution of outcomes follows a power law, but in startups the curve is startlingly steep. The big successes are so big they dwarf the rest. And since there are only a handful each year (the conventional wisdom is 15), investors treat "big success" as if it were binary. Most are interested in you if you seem like you have a chance, however small, of being one of the 15 big successes, and otherwise not. [1] (There are a handful of angels who'd be interested in a company with a high probability of being moderately successful. But angel investors like big successes too.) How do you seem like you'll be one of the big successes? You need three things: formidable founders, a promising market, and (usually) some evidence of success so far. Formidable The most important ingredient is formidable founders. Most investors decide in the...

...The Warcraft III Adventure June 7, 2013 PROLOGUE: The Adventure Begins When this homework was assigned last Saturday, I knew then that this was going to be an adventure. I have never played Warcraft-DOTA before but, I am aware that it is an addictive game. I know this because my 20-year old nephew, still a third year industrial engineering student up to this day, was an excessively avid player. Two years of his college life were wasted because of his addiction with the game. He could have been graduating this year if not for the addiction. Thus, when I heard from Professor Nicart that the game has been lauded by no less than The Harvard School of Business because of its contribution in developing management skills, I was intrigued. Then, she said we have to play the game at least 30 minutes a day for the next 5 to 6 days, I was amused and thought to myself that my nephew would have a blast when he hears about this. Hence, the adventure for me began even before I would play the game. CHAPTER ONE: Acquiring The Warcraft-DOTA File I had a very busy schedule ahead of me this week. I thought that in order to have this homework done, I had to finish it as soon as possible. So, as soon as I got back home last Saturday, which was about 7:30 PM because electricity in our area only came back around that time, I immediately searched if the “Warcraft-DOTA” file was installed in our computer. It was not. I also searched the other laptops we had at home and I didn’t...
