The document discusses various techniques for encoding analog signals into digital pulses for transmission, including:
1. Pulse code modulation (PCM) which samples and quantizes an analog signal then assigns a codeword to each quantization level.
2. Common encoding schemes for the digital pulses including unipolar, polar, and bipolar encodings as well as return-to-zero (RZ) and non-return-to-zero (NRZ).
3. Specific encoding methods like alternate mark inversion (AMI) used in telephone systems, and bipolar with eight-zero substitution (B8ZS) used to prevent long runs of zeros in transmission.

Tcm step 3 venture assessment
The document discusses steps in assessing the viability of a business venture or commercializing a new technology. It outlines key questions to consider, such as whether the entrepreneur has experience launching businesses, if the venture appears profitable, and if the entrepreneur is capable of bringing the product to market. Financial modeling approaches are presented, including break-even analysis to determine sales needed to cover costs. Industry competitiveness is also an important factor to assess. The overall goal is to evaluate if a venture has sufficient potential for profit to merit further investment of time and resources.

The document discusses how three stories - Fallen Angels, Girl in the Green Sweater, and A Thousand Splendid Suns - use theme as a literary device. The main themes explored are loss of innocence in Fallen Angels, fear in Girl in the Green Sweater, and the suppression of women in A Thousand Splendid Suns. All three authors effectively employ unique yet realistic themes to enhance the development and experience of their stories.
Steve Blank’s Petal Diagram vs. Rod King’s Value Engine Map: Visual Tools for...
About a week ago, the startup world got ablaze from reading Steve Blank’s blog post, “A New Way to Look at Competitors.” In the blog post, Blank notes that the traditional Competitive Graph – which focuses on differentiating offerings of “Our Company” vs. “Our Competitors” - is “inappropriate for startups or existing companies creating new markets.” Blank goes on to offer a Petal Diagram which places a given company (startup) in the core of a flower while segments of competitors are place in petals that surround the core. But how useful is Steve Blank’s Petal Diagram especially for startups?
Judging from feedback including Tweets and Facebook Likes on the Internet, the response to the Petal Diagram is extremely positive. Many readers note that the Petal Diagram offers benefits including the following:
# great way to communicate a startup’s position and opportunity especially to investors (Venture Capitalists)
# segmentation of an existing market while showing sources of future customers as well as potential competitors and partners
# visually appealing way for investors to see growth opportunities for a startup
# linkage to business model innovation especially using the Business Model Canvas
Although feedback on the Petal Diagram is generally great, some people are critical of the form and usefulness of the Petal Diagram especially in presenting proposals to investors. Perhaps, the strongest critique of the Petal Diagram comes from fellow Venture Capitalist, Tomasz Tunguz who blogged on: “Why the Petal Diagram Isn’t the Best Competition Diagram for Startup’s Pitch.” Tunguz’s main critique was “petal diagrams don't communicate the startup's unique way of competing in the market.” In short, the Petal Diagram is not useful for Brand Positioning, Value Proposition Design, Competitive Analysis, and Benchmarking. Consequently, it would seem like the Petal Diagram has to be used in conjunction with the classic Competitive Graph to present a wholesome picture of a startup’s opportunity and strategy. Or ... can we visually reframe the classic Competitive Graph so that it offers its original features as well as all the features and benefits of the Petal Diagram? I believe that we can. Yes, we can.

"The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries is one of the most useful books any entrepreneur, startup, or established business could get. I regard "The Lean Startup" book as the bible on continuous innovation. However, many entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses are struggling to translate ideas, concepts, and principles of the Lean Startup Method into practice. The high rate of failure of startups continues while the Lean Startup Method largely remains a theory.
To help entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses better learn and master the Lean Startup Method, I developed the Lean Business Model Gameboard. This Gamification Board - which presents a tag cloud (checklist) of Lean Startup words - offers a simpler, faster, and funner way to learn, apply, and master the Lean Startup Method.

Nobel Transportation Company
CASE STUDY SUMMARY
NTCo is a domestic trucking company specializing in the transportation of steel.
NTCo was established six years ago by W. Nobel to address the growing need for consistent, reliable steel transportation services between steel manufacturers, distributors, and end-users. The company found huge success due to the owner's knowledge of the trucking industry, strong business acumen and ability to effectively establish and maintain key relationships.
NTCo identified six clear strategic goals during its recent strategic planning session including:
1. Leverage corporate reputation and brand recognition to expand current transportation services in new markets by 50% by Q3.
2. Introduce new transportation service offering to capitalize on green and clean energy construction markets.
3. Increase customer retention and set "best in class" customer service standards.
4. Continuously broaden customer database by obtaining new information on consumer characteristics and needs.
5. Increase efficiencies through the use of wireless or virtual technology.
6. Increase charitable giving opportunities.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
NTCo currently employs 50 full-time and part-time employees. These employees are primarily located in the Midwest United States. The following outlines NTCo's organizational chart.
In addition to its full and part-time employees, NTCo relies heavily on Owner-Operators or truck drivers who own and operate their trucks and are not employees of the company, instead serve as contractors.
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Early on when the company had less than ten employees, W. Nobel prided his organization on possessing a "family feel" where everyone knew what to do and knew each other. However, as the business expanded into other states, the organization lost its "family feel" and evolved into more of a corporate environment.
NTCo's culture is one of silos, poor internal communication, minimal accountability, and decentralized supervision. In other words, respective Directors are only concerned with the performance of their department, with little or no regard for other departments. Also, there is notable variation between how one area is run versus the way another is run. Additionally, NTCo's mission statement is vague and ambiguous, "To be the best."
From a human capital perspective, recruitment plan in place, employee feedback is inconsistent and often, employees are not clear on expectations for their job. Employees are not well informed of organizational goals, and there is no clear ...

The Lean Startup Game
This document outlines the principles of the lean startup methodology. It discusses how startups differ from large corporations in their focus on developing hypotheses to test through customer development and iterative experimentation, rather than relying on business plans. The customer development model of customer discovery, validation, creation and company building is presented as a framework for searching for a scalable business model through continuous experimentation and pivoting. Key aspects of lean startups discussed include the business model canvas for visualizing hypotheses about the business, metrics like AARRR for validating learning, and case studies of companies like Zappos that exemplify the lean startup approach.
