The document discusses the bankruptcy filing of Seven Dreamers Laboratories Inc., a Tokyo-based startup that had developed a prototype laundry-folding robot called Laundroid. The startup had received over 10 billion yen in funding but struggled to commercialize the robot, missing two sales targets. It accumulated 2.2 billion yen in debt from heavy R&D investments. Unable to secure more funds for further development to improve the robot, the startup filed for bankruptcy, ending development of the Laundroid robot for now. The concept of a laundry-folding robot had generated interest, but technical and financial challenges prevented Seven Dreamers from successfully bringing their prototype to market.

The Market for Open Innovation Platforms: Deciding If and Where to Invest - J...Jose Briones
Open innovation became a key success factor for many companies today. But which is the right method for open innovation? Which are the criteria to plan an open innovation project? Which intermediary or service provider has specific knowledge and expertise in, e.g., crowdsourcing, the lead user method, Netnography, idea contests, technology scouting, or broadcast search? This interactive debate will analyze different platforms that are meant to accelerate innovation. You will leave with a better understanding of the options that are out there and whether it makes sense for you to invest in a certain platform. In reaching their conclusion, innovation professionals must:
Weigh the pros and cons of turning to a technology provider to help solve your OI needs
Understand the landscape of open innovation intermediaries and platforms
Make the most of your investment in an OI platform

Open Source and Open Innovation - Dr. Sabine Brunswicker - Red Hat Summit 2016Purdue RCODI
From Open Source Towards Open Innovation: Fostering Corporate Innovation with Open Source Software (OSS) Communities presented by Dr. Sabine Brunswicker.
Dr. Sabine Brunswicker presented the latest work on how firms and individuals collaborate in an open source software community in the Red Hat Summit 2016. In particular, she highlighted how firms, whether they are OSS vendors or OSS uses, and also the individual developer, can support each other in order to successfully integrating new features in the software. Red Hat Summit is the premier open source technology event to showcase the latest and greatest in cloud computing, platform, virtualization, middleware, storage, and systems management technologies.
Open source software (OSS) is booming. Working the OSS way has become the new standard of software development. This trend has also changed the nature of OSS communities. While originally the domain of hobbyists and hackers, OSS communities are now attracting the participation of firms, both small and large ones. Indeed, OSS communities offer firms the opportunities to engage in what experts call ‘open innovation’. They open up to OSS communities and participate in OSS communities in order to create direct and indirect corporate innovation benefits. This presentation will focus on open innovation for new ‘industrial’ OSS communities, which bring together OSS vendors, OSS customers, as well as independent developers. One of the prominent examples of these new OSS communities is the OpenStack community in the area of cloud computing. These communities create unique opportunities not only for vendor but also for OSS customers to actively shape the agenda of the development activities and also implement this agenda. At the same time, these communities also expose firms to new management challenges given the size and diversity of the actors involved. In my talk I will provide very recent insights gained from a big data analysis focused on the ‘inner working mechanism’ of the OpenStack community. A deep dive into the contribution behavior of different vendors and OSS customers suggest that firms need to align their open innovation strategy with their idiosyncratic innovation interest, the development capabilities of their own employees, and their role in the community. For example, firms that seek to drive more radical changes in the OSS software should behave differently than those firms that are more focused on immediate quality improvements. In sum, the presentation will give those firms, which already participate in new ‘industrial’ OSS communities, as well as those ones, that only use OSS products, practical guidelines in how to use open innovation for the new ‘breed’ of OSS communities. Concrete examples will depict what kinds of features contributors suggested and how OSS vendors, OSS customers and independent developers collaborate in implementing those features.

Executive Summary
This paper will first discuss articles that are linked to the main concepts to innovation,
small businesses and not-for-profit organizations. One main concept of technology and
innovation is that companies need to focus on how their top managers should emphasize
focus on the development of new products, and developing technology. Next, the paper
will transition to the complications that not-for-profit’s can face when formulating a
strategy, and how strategic piggybacking can bring exposure to an organization. Finally,
this paper will identify some effective new venture business strategies. The purpose of
this paper is to apply these key concepts listed to real world business articles. The
concept of this paper is important to business students because it helps future
entrepreneurs to understand strategies and concepts that are used by businesses. I learned
from this assignment that every business is faced with many issues and that it is the way
that the management concepts we are learning about are applied the help them
strategically find a way to deal with these hurdles. Success or failure in their industries
may depend on it.

Entrepreneurship Mishaps
For an entrepreneurial idea to remain relevant in society, and maintain market value, constant innovation to improve and enhance the idea is a must. Innovation involves adding some new features to the already existing business model. Change is inevitable, therefore, entrepreneurs have to adjust to the changes that occur in markets, and plan in anticipation of changes to come in the near future. Failure to adjust to the changes in the markets could be detrimental to the success of any brand or entrepreneurial venture. Many business organizations have crashed out of the market due to their failure to constantly innovate and add new features to match the new market demands. Also, technology has advanced so much in the current world. Any organization that forfeits an opportunity to embrace technology will probably fade out of business in the near future. Some of the great entrepreneurial giants that have failed due to lack of innovation include; Polaroid, Blackberry, Nokia, Blockbusters, and Kodak.
Kodak, a giant in the photography industry, and was established in the 1880s. Kodak was the leading company in photography for many decades with its sales records surpassing ten billion dollars in 1981. However, the name has faded away from the industry with the company filing for bankruptcy in 2012. The failure of this giant can be attributed to a lack of innovation that matches the digital world demands. Despite Kodak’s management being aware of the need to embrace digital photography, they failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Fuji, a Japanese firm, introduced a colored camera which was cheaper than Kodak's cameras. Fuji also incorporated digital features in its devices hence attracting more customers. Kodak’s sales started dropping gradually as the market shifted from analog to digital. Due to the slow initiative to embrace digital photography Kodak finally went out of business, (Yuzawa, 2018).
Blockbuster was a leading movie and film store, a giant in the entertainment industry. The company had successfully survived the shift from VHS to DVD. That was one good strategy that kept the company ahead in the film entertainment industry. More innovations such as the introduction of internet services provided an avenue through which film entertainment could be scaled up to a notch higher. Blockbuster was, however, not much embracing of internet innovation. The company turned down a partnership deal with Netflix, in which Blockbusters would promote Netflix in its stores and Netflix would air Blockbuster’s content on the internet platforms, (Ciccone, 2017). Currently, Netflix is the leading film entertainment organization on Livestream media via the internet while Blockbusters is history.
Both Kodak and Blockbusters were the leading organizations in the film photography and entertainment industries respectively. The two giants failed to capitalize on the opportunity available to advance their market leadership. Kodak was not s ...

An executive summary is a 10% synopsis of a larger document that outlines the purpose, planned processes, actual processes, findings, and recommendations for the project. Chief executive officers (CEOs) often read and assess executive summaries before deciding to read entire reports. Consequently, the summary must be a high-quality narrative that demonstrates the significance of the work, addresses all the important issues being undertaken – the seven GP questions are important issues - shows, the objectivity of research and analysis underpinning the report, and establishes the credibility of the resulting conclusions. 250 to 300 words
About your company:
Your abilities in international management have been recognized, and your consulting assistance has been requested. The company Quasimoto Enterprises has been approached by a reputed Chinese firm that wants exclusive production and selling rights for one of its new high-tech products. The company has been looking for a strategic partner for the production of this product to reduce costs. Hence, Quasimoto Enterprises is very interested in exploring the possibility of developing relationships with this Chinese firm. This deal is very critical to growth of Quasimoto in the international market. Both parties are anxious and preparing for their first meeting in a month’s time to move this deal forward. This is the first time Quasimoto is doing business with China, and this is also the case with the Chinese firm.

SWOTT Analysis
Before a company develops strategies, they must take time to assess the positive and negative factors which impact their future. The SWOTT analysis provides a method to consider the internal forces: strengths and weaknesses; and then the external forces: opportunities, threats, and trends. Internal and external audits identify the specific forces the business faces. The SWOTT table segments these forces into positive, negative, and trend buckets. The company may directly impact or influence some factors if the business adapts to change. Although many external forces are out of reach, the supply chain can be a source of significant opportunities and threats which are actionable. Once compiled, the SWOTT analysis provides a synthesized view of the organizational challenges. This framework guides decisions on which issues to mitigate and which opportunities to pursue for a competitive advantage (David & David, 2017). As an example of the process, Sony Corporation is a large organization facing many forces as shown here through a SWOTT analysis.

Reply to both people about a paragraph each*
Reply One:
In the last module, I had discussed reasons in which I believe I will experience late-mover disadvantages. In chapter 11, it discussed some key terms associated with creating value within your company. On page 363 it brings up the topic of value creation. Value creation is performing activities that increase the value of goods or services to consumers. In order to establish myself among an already budding market, I have decided to try to make my imports of cotton more appealing to the consumer. I will market it in a way to create value (i.e. value creation). In order to do such, I will make sure that my product is harvested sustainably. More and more companies see value in the eyes of consumers when it comes to sustainably sourcing their goods. Consumers in today’s age are becoming more and more cognizant of where products are coming from and do pay a premium for those companies that take extra measures to ensure sustainable practice. For example, companies like Unilever are exceling due to their sustainably driven supply chain. In fact, Unilever was ranked number one in Gartner’s supply chain index, with much credence to their sustainable practice. I will also allow my consumers to know that we are making every effort to financially empower those within the impoverished state Burkina Faso resides. Being that sourcing and importing cotton will be something new to me, over time I will certainly understand to term “experience curve” (page 373). An experience curve is a systematic reduction in production costs that have been observed to occur over the life of the product. Essentially, in the beginning of my sourcing process, I will incur costs that will eventually be alleviated due to experience. The more you work at a process, the more apt you are to come up with processes that are more efficient and cost effective. One thing that will also benefit me will be universal needs (page 378). Universal needs arise when the tastes and preferences of consumers in different nations are similar if not identical. This is beneficial to me because cotton is a pretty common commodity in most nations.
Reply Two:
As I have stated in the previous discussion post, Burkina Faso’s main export is 70% gold. Compared to cotton being only 13%. The partners associated with the export of gold are, Singapore, Ivory Coast, Switzerland, France, China, and Turkey. Gold is steadily increasing in demand and is considered as a universal need (pg.378) because, tastes and preferences in different nations are similar if not identical. So, everyone wants gold for just different reasons. The Gold World Council has a report based on the demand of gold overall during 2015 and it states that there was a 4% growth rate in demand even though in certain areas there were slight deficits. I have stated that the popular uses for gold are, jewelry, financial, technology, dentistry, medical, and aerospace. The report by GWC shows ...

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.

Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.

Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.

Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.

Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Laundry-phobics' dreams crushed as Tokyo-based developer of
Laundroid robot files for bankruptcy
by Kazuaki Nagata
Apr 24, 2019
When Seven Dreamers Laboratories Inc. unveiled its prototype laundry-folding robot in 2015, it
generated a buzz, with people saying they couldn’t wait to buy one if it ever went to market.
But the AI-based tidying device dubbed Laundroid is apparently coming to an end before its commercial
debut, as the Tokyo-based developer filed for bankruptcy Tuesday with the Tokyo District Court, citing
insufficient funds to continue operations.
A spokesperson for Seven Dreamers, a contest-winning startup that had received over ¥10 billion in
funding, said development of robot is over for now.
According to Teikoku Databank Ltd., a credit research company, Seven Dreamers Laboratories had
accumulated ¥2.2 billion in debt as it struggled to ship the robot and invested heavily in research and
development.
After postponing its initial sales goal in fiscal 2017, it had to push back its goal for fiscal 2018, too.
“We were unable to secure funds necessary for the development,” the spokesman said, adding it was
difficult to improve the robot to a satisfactory level.
The startup had planned to sell Laundroid for ¥1.85 million.
Seven Dreamers had said that, because people have to spend so much time folding laundry in their
lifetimes, it wanted to set them free from that chore with Laundroid, which looked like a big closet but
was apparently packed with robotics and image recognition technologies that would allow it to fold
clothes.
The concept of the laundry-folding robot has attracted much attention and interest from investors in
Japan and abroad. The startup was partnering with Panasonic Corp. and Daiwa House Industries Co.
Seven Dreamers Laboratories, which was founded in 2014, won the Japan round of the 2018 Startup
World Cup, an international competition for startups, to advance to the final.
