1. Do you agree with Virgin ’s market diversification strategy? If so‚ what other markets should they pursue? If you disagree‚ what should be their business focus? Diversification is most commonly understood through the financial world‚ where one should have a diverse range of investments. Mixing funds that are countercyclical – the performance of certain funds is not correlated to the performance of others. Usually when one set of funds are down‚ the value of another set of funds is up. This

CanGo has moved from a small startup to a recognized growth company having a recent IPO offering. CanGo is currently lacking in a critical area for any business. It needs to focus on Strategic Planning. Strategic Planning will benefit CanGo by allowing it to: 1. Clearly define its goals consistently with its Mission and Vision statement. 2. Communicate effectively its goals to all of the organization. 3. Provide a foundation on which to direct future efforts. CanGo has the layers for a hierarchical

The RSA Algorithm Evgeny Milanov 3 June 2009 In 1978‚ Ron Rivest‚ Adi Shamir‚ and Leonard Adleman introduced a cryptographic algorithm‚ which was essentially to replace the less secure National Bureau of Standards (NBS) algorithm. Most importantly‚ RSA implements a public-key cryptosystem‚ as well as digital signatures. RSA is motivated by the published works of Diffie and Hellman from several years before‚ who described the idea of such an algorithm‚ but never truly developed it. Introduced at the

IT 205 CheckPoint 1 The three dimensions to business problems are Organizational‚ Technological and People. With Organizational dimension comes outdated business processes‚ political conflict‚ complexity of task and inadequate resources to name a few. Technological dimension problem comes with outdated software‚ inadequate database capacity‚ rapid technological change and others. People dimension problems are lack of employee training‚ legal and regulatory compliance‚ indecisive management

Programming Exercise 7: K-means Clustering and Principal Component Analysis Machine Learning Introduction In this exercise‚ you will implement the K-means clustering algorithm and apply it to compress an image. In the second part‚ you will use principal component analysis to find a low-dimensional representation of face images. Before starting on the programming exercise‚ we strongly recommend watching the video lectures and completing the review questions for the associated topics. To get started

Verification versus Validation: Verification and Validation are the two forms of testing software. Verification ensures that the system (software‚ hardware‚ documentation‚ and personnel) complies with an organization’s standards and processes‚ relying on review of non-executable methods. Validation physically ensures that the system operates according to plan by executing the system functions through a series of tests that can be observed and evaluated. Verification answers the question

The following algorithm is to be applied to the positive integers from 1 to 12. Step 1: Cross out every even number. Step 2: Change the state of every multiple of 3 (including 3) – i.e. for every multiple of 3‚ if it is crossed out then remove the crossing

Algorithm The term algorithm is often used to refer to the logic of a program It is a step-by step description of how to arrive at the solution of the given problem. It may be formally defined as a sequence of instructions‚ designed in a manner that‚ if the instructions are executed in the specified sequence‚ the desired results will be obtained. In order to qualify as an algorithm‚ a sequence of instructions must possess the following characteristics: Sample Algorithms 50 Students in a class

the quality and management systems of each approved centre. The role‚ in terms of managing assessment so that it consistently meets national standards‚ is central to maintaining public confidence in each and every N/SVQ issued. Therefore internal verification is a key factor in managing ‘risk’ and ensuring that when certificates are claimed for candidates the requirements of the national standards have been reliably met. There are four main aspects of the internal verifier role: • operate and

THE THREE ELEMENTARY SORTING ALGORITHMS Bubble Sort Bubble Sort is probably one of the oldest‚ easiest‚ straight-forward‚ and inefficient sorting algorithms. It is the algorithm introduced as a sorting routine in most introductory courses on Algorithms. Bubble Sort works by comparing each element of the list with the element next to it and swapping them if required. With each pass‚ the largest of the list is "bubbled" to the end of the list whereas the smaller values sink to the bottom.
