...talking in class, we have come across several groups of Christians who have not wanted to use technology to its full potential. Paul Crouch, is by no means a member of those groups. From the beginning Crouch was interested in broadcasting his voice around the world. At the age of twelve, he was learning how to use a HAM radio from a family friend. He would get responses back from all around the world. That is when he realized that what broadcasting could be used for. Paul Crouch was a Pentecostal Christian who graduated from Central Bible Institute and Seminary in Springfield, Missouri. It was here where he and his friends made an amateur radio tower using the college’s water tower. He would start off his broadcasts with two simple words, “HELLO WORLD!” (p. 12) Crouch graduated with a degree in theology and set out to live his life...

...Introduction to Entrepreneurship Search Funds: Buying a Business Finding an Idea Find a Team Legal Issues Business Plans Funding Managing and Growing the Venture HBS Entrepreneurs Services for Students Evaluating New Venture Opportunities Conversations with Venture Capitalists What makes for the ideal entrepreneurial opportunity? To learn about the frameworks firms use when evaluating potential venture opportunities, Mike Roberts, executive director of the Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship, and HBS senior research associate Lauren Barley recently interviewed four venture capitalists from leading firms in Silicon Valley. The following are excerpts from their responses. Russell Siegelman (MBA '89) Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers The most important requirement is a large market opportunity in a fast-growing sector. We like a company to have a $100 million to $300 million revenue stream within five years. This means that the market potential has to be at least $500 million-or more, eventually-and that the company needs to achieve at least a 25 percent market share. The second factor involves a competitive edge that is long lasting. It is usually an engineering challenge that is tough enough to give the company an edge, resulting in several years lead or longer, if we're lucky. We look for a tough problem that hasn't been solved before. The solution can't be so straightforward that someone can look at the blackboard and say, "I know how to...

Executive Summary BuzzingBicycles was founded in late 2010 when Colm Moore, a Trinity College student with a passion for entrepreneurship, noticed an opportunity to import and distribute 2-stroke bicycle engines. While there were online sellers willing to ship to Ireland, there was no established bicycle engine supplier in Ireland. What begun as an initial order of a single bicycle engine for personal use has now turned into a successful, growing business. BuzzingBicycles product range, sold both in person and through the online website (www.buzzingbicycles.com), includes pre-made motorised bicycles, different bicycle engine sizes, accessories and even custom-designs for the more adventurous clientele. Through an impressive online presence, BuzzingBicycles has become synonymous with offering the highest quality product and service to their loyal customers. BuzzingBicycles is perfectly suited to recessionary financial conditions.

...KAIST, College of Business Chinese Financial Market (FIN681) Term paper China’s New Normal Economics & Declining Growth Rate 1. Backgrounds of Chinese New Normal Economy Policy At the opening of the annual National People’s Congress (NPC), Chinese premier Li Keqiang officially announced that the growth target for China in 2015 will be of “approximately 7 per cent”, considerably lower than in the past. The announcement came as no surprise as it had been anticipated in a speech by Mr Li in Davos in February stating that the country had “entered the stage of the new normal, shifting from high speed to medium-to-high speed”. The new growth target set by Beijing is now lower than last year’s 7.5 per cent, and more than 2 percentage points lower than in the past two decades. The government’s ambitions therefore align with the recent slowdown experienced by the Chinese economy since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. After the first two years of Xi Jinping’s term, the Chinese economy grew by 7.4 per cent ‘only’ in 2014 – the lowest rate since 1990 – low enough to convince Chinese policy makers to shift to a new policy stance, as they realize previous growth targets are no longer sustainable. The shift to a lower but more sustainable growth target came soon after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned last year that a series of danger signs suggested that China would probably face a hard landing in the absence of crucial reforms. More specifically...

...MICHAEL E. PORTER The State of Connecticut: Strategy for Economic Development Introduction Connecticut had long been one of the most prosperous U.S. states. With a per capita income of $39,300 in 19991 compared with the U.S. average of $28,542,2 it had the highest standard of living of any state. However, Connecticut had been hit especially hard by the recession of the early 1990s, the worst since the 1930s. During the recession, Connecticut lost one out of every 10 jobs.3 Although the recession ended in 1992, the recovery in the early 1990s was anything but robust. High unemployment rates persisted in some urban areas, and the state’s poverty rate almost doubled, from a 1987–1989 average of 4.5% to 8.4% for the 1997–1999 period.4 Worried leaders initiated the state’s first serious effort to foster economic development in living memory. After several years of little progress, Governor John Rowland (elected in 1994) initiated a cluster-based economic development strategy in late 1995. By 1999, state government had been reorganized, new institutions created, and unprecedented public-private collaboration around competitiveness was taking place. In 2000, Governor Rowland was evaluating the state’s progress thus far and considering how to carry the strategy forward. Connecticut Profile Do No Connecticut, one of the 13 original U.S. colonies, adopted in 1639 the first constitution establishing representative government. Connecticut was the fifth state to approve...
