companies will be discussed concerning their business decisions of diversification. The first company, Circuit City, was unsuccessful at broadening their business, and eventually had to shut down the business. The other company, Canon, was successful at broadening their brand and scope of the business. This paper will compare and contrast their businesses, outcomes and reasons for the differences. Circuit City was established by Samuel S. Wurtzel in 1949 as the Wards Co. that sold Televisions and home

and insulators, doping, types of semiconductors: P-types and N-types, P-N junctions, rectifying property of a p-n junction, forward and reverse biasing, simple transistors and oscillator circuits. Others include n-p-and p-n, basic structures and terminologies and their applications, colour coding, Integrated circuits (ICS). We can consider that one of the factor that affects the student's performance is the difficulty of the subject/course. It is therefore a matter of concern to find out what else

275 Risks and Uncertainties Identify the Issue Disclosure is the act of releasing all relevant information pertaining to a company that may influence an investment decision. In order to be listed on major U.S. stock exchanges, companies must follow all of the Securities and Exchange Commission's disclosure requirements and regulations. To make investing as fair as possible for everyone, companies must disclose both good and bad information. In the past, selective disclosure was a serious problem

Summary This report will discuss solid state technology, particularly the architecture used to communicate between memory modules and the main processor of a computer system. It will highlight and describe the many benefits of SSD technology. Solid state technology is not a new thing, a solid state device may contain any electrical parts that do not have a mechanical action i.e no moving parts. These parts can consist of transistors (mainly!) microprocessor chips, many types of flash memory and

1/ ENERGY BANDS IN SOLIDS In this chapter we begin with a review of the basic atomic properties of matter leading to discrete electronic energy levels in atoms. We find that these energy levels are spread into energy bands in a crystal. This band structure allows us to distinguish between an insulator, a semiconductor, and a metal. 1-1 CHARGED PARTICLES The charge, or quantity, of negative electricity and the mass of the electron have been found to be 1.60 X 10- 19 C (coulomb) and 9.11

or entertainment technologies. The commercial use of IT encompasses both computer technology and telephony. The term information technology was coined by the Harvard Business Review, in order to make a distinction between purpose-built machines designed to perform a limited scope of functions and general-purpose computing machines that could be programmed for various tasks. As the IT industry evolved from the mid-20th century, it encompassed transistors and integrated circuits -- computing capability
