Download or read book Technology focused Acquisitions written by Jan Paul Stein and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology-focused acquisitions are an important complement to the firm’s internal product development efforts. There is considerable heterogeneity when comparing individual technology-focused acquisitions – especially with respect to acquisition timing and the deal value. To resolve some of this heterogeneity the author introduces the novel distinction between performance- and functionality-focused acquisitions. He characterizes this distinction based on a theoretical analysis, a qualitative study, and turns to a sample of acquisitions in the field of artificial intelligence for the quantitative study. There are two key findings. First, performance-focused acquisitions take place earlier in a target’s life cycle than functionality-focused ones. Second, the deal value is – at a comparable stage in a target’s life cycle – higher for performance-focused acquisitions. This thesis is relevant for management scholars and managers alike: Scholars learn about the implications of the distinction between performance- and functionality-focused acquisitions on markets for technology. Managers gain insights into how this distinction may guide their strategic decision making.
Download or read book Relearning to See written by Thomas R. Quackenbush and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2000-01-24 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this accessible presentation of the famous Bates method, Thomas R. Quackenbush (who teaches the Bates method in California and Oregon) describes how eyesight can improve naturally, at any age and regardless of heredity. This book is a wonderful tribute to the genius of Dr. Bates, who was a pioneer in discovering how vision becomes blurred and how it restores itself naturally to clarity and acuity. Now 80 years later, his findings and teachings remain light years ahead of our contemporaries. His approach to treating vision problems was truly holistic and the theme throughout this book is very much an extension of that holistic approach. Dr. Quackenbush is to be commended for his dedication in getting the truth out and keeping the torch burning in this "bible" on vision improvement.

The "gift of sight " is not one to be taken for granted, as well as the care for it shouldn't be taken so lightly. Our eyesight is our most invaluable dependable tool we use every day, working for us every second we are awake. Can you imagine living without your vision? Scary, huh? In our modern world, with the ever-growing surge of new technologies and hand-held devices, we are spending far more times behind the screen on our computer, smartphone, and good old television damaging our eyes. The rise of visual impairments, causing the increased need for vision correction eyewears, is staggering, and it's only going to get worse with the common indoor sedentary jobs and lifestyles nowadays...no longer spending enough time outdoor in nature with natural sightings for our eyes as we used to. Thus, taking care of our eyes has never been more crucial than ever. Truth be told, eyewears help us see better, but they don't improve our eyesight - our natural-born eyesight - but instead become crutches we depend on.

Now what if you could toss your glasses or contact lenses aside, while improving and strengthening your natural eyesight? How? Within "Instant Eyesight": * How to develop sharper vision by doing effective "eye pushups." * How to see farther by using the "zooming in and out" technique like a camera. * How to enhance visual focus by strengthening connection with eye and brain. * How to train your eye muscles by doing different eye exercises to improve vision. * How to maintain everyday healthy eyes by picking up simple habits. * Plus, custom practical "how-to" strategies, techniques, applications and exercises to make your eyesight better. ...and much more. The aim is to stop relying on artificial eyesight thought eyewears, but gain back natural eyesight through your natural eyes. Condition your eyes to see naturally and clearly again, without glasses, contact lenses, or expensive laser eye surgery.
