Venture capital involves professionally managed pools of equity capital that are invested in small, growing companies. These pools come from wealthy individuals and institutions. Venture capitalists take an equity stake in companies and actively monitor their progress. There are various types of venture capital firms, including private firms, small business investment companies, and corporate venture arms. The venture capital process involves preliminary screening of business plans, negotiating terms, extensive due diligence, and final approval if the venture capitalist decides to invest. Venture capitalists specialize in certain industries and stages of financing like early stage funding or expansion. Entrepreneurs should research which firms focus on their industry or idea.
The informal risk-capital market consists of wealthy individual investors, called business angels, who provide start-up funding for entrepreneurial ventures. These angels typically invest between $10,000 to $500,000 per deal, which occurs one to two times per year. They prefer to invest in manufacturing, energy, services, or software start-ups that are less than 5 years old in order to achieve high returns, with median gains of 10 times the investment over 5 years.

Trade credit is an agreement where a customer can purchase goods without paying cash up front, instead paying the supplier within an agreed upon timeframe, usually 30-90 days. It provides short-term financing for businesses as suppliers extend credit to customers to purchase goods and services, allowing for deferred payment. Trade credit is an important source of working capital financing for companies as it reduces their capital requirements and is an automatic and easy source of short-term funds without requiring formal agreements.
Theory X and Theory Y describe two perspectives on human motivation in organizations. Theory X assumes that people dislike work and must be coerced through threats, while Theory Y assumes that people can exercise self-direction and seek responsibility if committed to organizational objectives. The Scanlon Plan is an example of Theory Y in practice, with cost-sharing and participation mechanisms to encourage employee involvement and commitment. An effective organization balances concerns for both relationships and production through trust-based accountability and a commitment to people as well as tasks.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.
From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
1. Research means “Search for Knowledge”.
It aims at discovering the truth.
It is the search for knowledge through objective and
systematic method of finding solution to problems.
It is carried on both for discovering new facts and verification
of old ones.
Therefore, research is a process of systematic and in-
depth study or search of any particular topic, subject or
area of investigation backed by collection, computation,
presentation and interpretation of relevant data.
