Strategic management: the key to profitability in small companies

Long Range Planning, 1993
Abstract Strategic Management is often not made explicit within organizations. Although there are numerous strategy analysis techniques, real decisions are made without any consideration of the alternative models and formal processes. This report gives an assessment of the practice of Strategic Management in Dutch medium sized companies.

Connectivity in random graphs induced by a key predistribution scheme - small key pools

2010 44th Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS), 2010
We consider the random graph induced by the random key predistribution scheme of Eschenauer and Gligor under the assumption of full visibility. We report on recent results concerning a conjectured zero-one law for graph connectivity, and provide simple proofs for small key pools.

Square Hash with a Small Key Size

2003
This paper shows an improvement of square hash function family proposed by Etzel et al. [5]. In the new variants, the size of keys is much shorter while the collision probability is slightly larger. Most of the main techniques used to optimize the original square hash functions work on our variants as well.

Self-keying Identification Mechanism for Small Devices

2011
We present a strong authentication mechanism intended for embedded systems based on standard but weak processors, without support for cryptographic operations. So far the main effort was to provide methods based on relatively short keys and complex computations, we make advantage of availability of non-volatile memory of larger size and confine ...

Expanding Weak PRF with Small Key Size

2006
We propose modes for weakly-secure block ciphers that take one block input to provide output of arbitrary length. Damgard and Nielsen proposed such a mode called the Pseudorandom Tree (PRT) mode, and demonstrated that PRT could be used to establish a communication channel that is secure against Chosen-Plaintext Attacks, if the underlying block cipher ...

Key success factors of small businesses

International Journal of Business and Globalisation, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to examine the success factors of small businesses. The study employed a multiple case-study research strategy involving in-depth interviews with owners of small businesses, a trade organisation and a government agency. The findings suggest that majority of small business owners place more emphasis on getting the job done ...

Oscar: Small-World Overlay for Realistic Key Distributions

2007
The research on P2P systems which support skewed key distributions has rapidly advanced in the recent years. Yet, the assumptions on the skews we are dealing with remained pretty simple: most of the existing literature assumes simple monotonous key distribution skews. However, this is not always the case.

Bantam boosters - The key to small RLVS?

33rd Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 1997
Last year, in AIAA-96-2773, this author proposed arguments for the economic and technical benefits of smaller reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) enabled by our assist-stage concepts. In that paper, the author pointed out the potential business advantages of our Space Van concept with a 4 tonne payload relative to a much larger SSTO with a 20 tonne payload.

Seven Keys for Small Group Success

Adult Learning, 2004
One of the most commonly used instructional methods in adult education is the small group. Small group learning is a staple of the adult education enterprise. Small groups are used in higher education, adult literacy and basic education, and many forms of training (Taylor, Marienau, & Fiddler, 2000).
