15.369 Corporate Entrepreneurship: Strategies for Technology-Based New Business Development (MIT)
This course is about "corporate entrepreneurship", my label for the alternative approaches that existing firms use to generate new technology-based products and businesses. It emphasizes various kinds of internal ventures and multiple "external" collaborative approaches that include corporate venture capital investments, licensing and different types of alliances and formal joint ventures. Basis for the new knowledge presented in this course is a combination of academic research and my personal
Air Pollution
How we can be sure our air is safe to breathe? This album introduces the principles and concepts of air quality management and looks at how we analyse pollution control problems. Five video tracks review the nature and characteristics of air pollution today and demonstrate how air quality data is interpreted. They include a comparison between shipping and car emission levels, the processes used to remove pollutants from the air, and ways in which British Aerospace could limit its Volatile Organ
Pathway 2 Information : citing references
The citing and referencing module is part of a wider online tutorial designed to teach a range of information skills to undergraduate students.
The module aims to provide an introductory guide to why referencing and citing is important and how to reference particular types of material according to different referencing styles. This skill is required by students throughout their degree courses and backs up more traditional face-to-face teaching in this area. The module uses an interactive approa
Exploding Stars and New Planets: Frontier Research at UC's Lick Observatory
UC Berkeley Professor Alex Filippenko, one of the world's most highly cited astronomers — also voted by students the ""Best Professor"" on campus a record nine times — offers a look into the University of California’s innovative astronomy education and research efforts. Studies at the observatory include stellar explosions, Earth-like planets orbiting other stars, and giant black holes.

4.4 Summary of Section 4 Thermal energy is a random thing, so any group of particles possessing it will have a distribution of kinetic energies. The fraction of particles with energy greater than an amount E1 is proportional to exp(−E1/kT). Thermally activated rates follow Arrhenius's law and are characterised by an activation energy. Diffusion in solids and electrical conduction i
Prepositions That Deal With Location
Video discusses prepositions that have to do with 'where'. This is for elementary school or ESL students. Words and sentences are on the screen.
4.2.7 Conjunctions Conjunctions join together individual words, phrases and clauses (the components of sentences which are longer than a simple sentence of the type: ‘Everyone can enjoy learning Latin’). So-called co-ordinating conjunctions are such words as and and but, as in the following examples: fish and chips Last summer they went to the Baltic and visited the city of Riga. They went to the Baltic b
Elizabeth I - Documentary Part 2
This part of the video narrates Elizabeth's childhood and how she was raised by tutors. It described her knowledge of languages and how she studied hard. In 1544 Henry VII admits Elizabeth and Mary back as his legitimate children. She lives close to Henry vIII's forth wife, Katherine Par. Henry died when she was 13 and Elizabeth's life would become harder. Edward, Henry VIII's only male child, became Edward IV. There is reference to The Seymour family, Edward's mother's family.
Uniform convergence and pointwise convergence
The aim of this material is to introduce the student to two notions of convergence for sequences of real-valued functions. The notion of pointwise convergence is relatively straightforward, but the notion of uniform convergence is more subtle. Uniform convergence is explained in terms of closed function balls and the new notion of sets absorbing sequences.
The differences between the two types of convergence are illustrated with several examples. Some standard facts are also discussed: a unif
The Support-Challenge Tightrope in Board-CEO Interactions
Boards must strike the right balance between supporting chief executives and challenging their performance if the relationship is to deliver the best results for the company.
Quality Management
The purpose of this class is to learn total quality management(TQM) in organizations. TQM refers to organization-wide system to improve quality in products and services through focusing on people, who are willing to continuously increase customer satisfaction at lower costs. It also stresses quality strategy, and learning and adaptation as keys to organization success.
Conclusion This free course provided an introduction to studying geography. It took you through a series of exercises designed to develop your approach to study and learning at a distance and helped to improve your confidence as an independent learner.
6 The good family Procyonidae As DA comments, this family is such an odd and varied collection that it doesn't have a common name [p. 170]. Its most familiar member (after which the family is named) is the raccoon, but the 19 species that comprise the family include mammals as diverse in habits and feeding preferences as the raccoon dog, the kinkajou and the red panda. There is considerable taxonomic controversy about the members of the raccoon family - including the status of the red panda. With the kinkajou, early
