The document discusses several management myths and theories including Theory X, Y and Z. Theory X proposes that people dislike work and need to be controlled and motivated by money. Theory Y suggests that people can be self-motivated, ambitious, and solve problems under the right conditions. Theory Z promotes loyalty, stable employment, high productivity and morale. The document also examines myths around people management competence, balancing time and money, and customer influence.

LavaCon 2017 - Developing Your Edge: Getting a Seat at the Customer’s Table
In many businesses, Sales account teams closely guard and regulate contact with customers. I have heard of, and have experienced situations where technical communications staff are refused access to customers unless there is a major issue. Customer engagement is the linchpin to understanding requirements and delivering value. It is the critical factor between celebrating success and wasting cycles. My session explores the idea of getting communications professionals to overcome the trust and perception deficits we often face.
A large part of the problem is the perception of how we communicate and a fear of what we’ll say. This mentality impedes and undermines our value proposition. I’ll share ideas and anecdotes about what can we do to:

Customer Growth Hacking: The First Things You Need to Know to Exponentially G...
The late Peter Drucker once said, "The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer." How wise!
And what a customer-centric presentation of a business's main goal especially for startups: create and keep customers. But, how can entrepreneurs as well as startups rapidly and inexpensively acquire, retain, and grow customers?
To answer the above question, this presentation introduces the concept of "Customer Growth Hacking" while visually defining it. As can be seen in the above slide, Sean Ellis's concept of "Growth Hacking (GH)" is a subset of "Customer Growth Hacking (CGH)."
While Growth Hacking focuses on technology, marketing tactics, and PR to accelerate customer growth, Customer Growth Hacking deals with a more holistic perspective. In particular, Customer Growth Hacking involves strategies as well as tactics for rapidly and inexpensively discovering as well as solving Big Urgent Market Problems (BUMPs). Customer Growth Hacking uses an experimental (Lean Startup) approach while continuously applying the O.T.H.E.R. Loop to discover and solve customer problems. O.T.H.E.R. is an acronym for Observe different; Think different; Hypothesize different; Experiment different; Reflect different.
Over the years, I've developed many, many tools for holistically discovering and solving problems in any domain. All these tools are now brought together and tightly integrated under the umbrella of Customer Growth Hacking. Please note that Customer Growth Hacking is synonymous with what I sometimes call "Leaner Problem Solving."
The best of luck as you apply Customer Growth Hacking to rapidly and inexpensively discover as well as solve BUMPs.

6 Gates to BUSINESS MODEL PROFITABILITY for Startups and Investors: Visually ...
As the business landscape gets more and more competitive as well as volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous businesses especially startups are struggling to increase their profitability. This presentation offers a visual framework - the 6 Gates to Business Model Profitability - for systematically examining an organization's business model with a view to increasing profitability.
A hierarchy of 6 Gates of questions are presented for systematically exploring strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a business model. A Lean Business Model Canvas is presented as a tool for visually organizing, managing, and testing ideas for increasing profitability of a business model.
Note that topics of the "6 Gates to Business Model Profitability" can be used to evaluate a business model in terms of SWOT: Strengths; Weaknesses; Opportunities; Threats. Alternatively, one could assign a single numerical value on a scale from 1 to 10 regarding the different aspects of an organization's current business model.

In this session, we’ll look at the key challenges of doing data science at scale – not just the mechanics of processing big data but the things that matter in putting our data to work. Things like how to work on that data in a multi-disciplinary team, how to set up and evaluate experiments and how to move from dev to test and production so those insights can be put to work across the business as needed. I will be showing how we do this at Microsoft, which might sound proprietary but actually is mainly about how we weave open source technologies together – technologies like Spark and Python, and containers.

Why Read This Book?
The Good, the Great, and the
Stupidus Maximus Award
In 2001 a book called Good to Great was published that profiled com-panies that were considered to have exemplary business practices.1
One of those companies was the electronics retail company Circuit
City. Less than ten years after Good to Great was published, Circuit
City was bankrupt, and its stock was delisted. How did such a high-
performing company go so quickly from good to great to gone?
Many things contributed to the demise of Circuit City, but one action that
stands out was the decision in 2007 to fire their most experienced employees
and replace them with less-expensive newly hired staff. This move provided
immediate financial benefits but created lasting and permanent damage to
Circuit City’s performance. It even led to the creation of an award to recognize
colossally bad management actions: the Stupidus Maximus Award. The award
observed, “It doesn’t take a genius to know that getting rid of your most expe-
rienced and productive workers is not only a terribly shortsighted strategy, but
incredibly dumb.”2
It would be nice if stories such as this one from Circuit City were rare. They
are not. We all have stories of apparently stupid things we have seen manag-
ers do. Bad management seems to be something we simply expect and accept
as something we just have to live with, much like bad weather. What leads to

all these bad management decisions? Most people who get promoted to man-
agement positions have had to demonstrate that they possess at least a reason-
able level of intelligence and have shown that they can be trusted at some basic
level to support and help others. Very few managers are particularly unintelli-
gent, cruel, or unethical. Circuit City’s decisions were almost certainly done by
extremely bright and highly successful executives. These executives may have
earned the Stupidus Maximus award, but they were not stupid people. The real-
ity is that all of us are capable of making stupid management decisions. Many
of us, although it may be painful to admit, have already done so. The challenge
is that companies do not learn that their management decisions were stupid or
ineffective until after they have been made.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdf
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacks
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
