M-KOPA: Empowering Lives
by V. Kasturi Rangan Pippa Tubman Armerding Wale LawalThe Pay As You Go solar power company in East Africa had sales of $71 million in 2019. It wished to grow to $300 million by 2025. M-KOPA, founded by three entrepreneurs in 2011, had grown nicely in Kenya and Uganda to reach nearly 750,000 households with an innovative direct sales force model. Jesse Moore, the founder, wished to scale the company through organic growth as well as geographical expansion into Nigeria. The strategy called for decisions on product/service offerings and go-to-market options. On the product side the company had increasingly migrated to larger in-home connected electronic and electrical devices. It had to decide how much further to go. On the go-to-market side its innovative Direct Service Representative network was hard to create and manage, and it had to think if there were viable alternatives.
M-Lab: Enabling Innovation at Mitsubishi Corporation
by Krishna G. Palepu Allison M. CiechanoverM-Lab's founding goals were to infuse an innovation mindset into Mitsubishi Corporation; to catalyze new business opportunities; and to enable a dialogue between Japanese business and Silicon Valley. M-Lab housed representatives from each of Mitsubishi Corporation's verticals who were joined by executives from other prominent Japanese corporations. While M-Lab was still early in its history, its leader, Tsunehiko Yanagihara, was pleased with its progress: the ecosystem was fertile with research on cutting edge technology; resident executives collaborated across industries on a daily basis; several investments and proof of concept projects were underway; staff had launched an innovation learning program; and soon, an on-site retail-tech accelerator would welcome its first participants. As some of the projects born out of M-Lab now evolved to commercial businesses, Yanagihara saw yet a new role for M-Lab - that of startup advisor. How might he harness Silicon Valley insights on scaling technology ventures and feed them back to the young ventures made possible by M-Lab? And how might he help those now responsible for implementing and executing at these new businesses apply these learnings to the hurdles they faced?

M: Business, 3rd Edition
by Linda Ferrell O. C. Ferrell Geoffrey HirtWe hear over and over again that the modern learner has a completely new and different set of needs from a learning package. These new 'digital natives' have developed cognitive thinking patterns that are different from those of earlier generations of students. It's important that educators recognize these differences in students, and that they also account for students with differing learning styles. Students today rely on technology as an important tool in their educational and personal lives. M: BUSINESS accounts for these differences in students today and appeals more effectively to digital natives. An emphasis is placed on the visual and technology component of the product offering (Connect®), while the text remains a (important) supporting tool for their learning in the course. Students today are used to active learning experiences, which is what M: Business provides. The book in combination with the personal study partner (LearnSmart), and the Interactive Applications in Connect Business provide students with a rich, interactive experience that enhances the text content, and keeps them actively engaged in the course content. Students today are also used to feedback and 'payoff'-Connect Business provides these interactive rewards for learning the course content.

MARS Applications in Geotechnical Engineering Systems: Multi-Dimension with Big Data
by Wengang ZhangThis book presents the application of a comparatively simple nonparametric regression algorithm, known as the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) surrogate model, which can be used to approximate the relationship between the inputs and outputs, and express that relationship mathematically. The book first describes the MARS algorithm, then highlights a number of geotechnical applications with multivariate big data sets to explore the approach’s generalization capabilities and accuracy. As such, it offers a valuable resource for all geotechnical researchers, engineers, and general readers interested in big data analysis.
MAYA Capital
by Robert F. White Carla Larangeira Pedro LevindoMAYA Capital co-founders Lara Lemann and Monica Saggioro raised $41.5 million through a series of closings for their early-stage Latin American venture capital fund. The two women had met for the first time in mid-2016 when Lemann was contemplating scaling her angel investing experience by structuring a fund, and Saggioro was about to start her MBA program at Harvard Business School. After founding MAYA in 2018, the pair built an investment portfolio in sector-agnostic investments across the region, providing startup founders with an on-demand, hands-on management support approach. MAYA also initiated a series of creative efforts to help develop its venture ecosystem and to source opportunities. By 2021, Lemann and Saggioro had invested approximately $21 million in 28 companies, with several completing subsequent follow-on rounds of financing to support their growth. By then, Latin America s VC market size had more than doubled since MAYA s inception, with escalating competition among local players. Lemann and Saggioro faced several important decisions: When should they raise another fund? How large should the next fund be? Should they alter their investment strategy? And as MAYA expanded its portfolio, would they be able to sustain their hands-on management support strategy?

MBA Internet: Como começar um negócio de software (sem escrever nenhum código)
by Tom HuntAntes, a capacidade de criar uma empresa de software era restrita a programadores com acesso a capital de risco, mas agora a tecnologia está avançando… as barreiras de entrada caíram o suficiente para o empreendedor ambicioso tirar proveito de serviços compartilhados e um "pool" global de talentos. Você pode estar preso a uma carreira corporativa sem alma, à procura de um novo modelo de negócio inovador e lucrativo na Internet ou pode ser que deseje lançar seu negócio startup. Você precisa de um passo a passo, um processo comprovado que irá guiá-lo através da selva traiçoeira que é a Internet em 2017. Existem poucos modelos de negócios que oferecem lucratividade e diferenciação na mesma medida que um negócio de SaaS (Software como serviço). E sabe qual é a melhor parte? Quando seu sistema de geração de valor está operando de forma eficaz ... este sistema é extremamente valioso para potenciais comprador, já que você, o dono, não está diretamente envolvido com o processo de criação de valor. E quem melhor para ensinar do que alguém que tenha cometido TODOS os erros antes? Depois de estudar Química no Imperial College London Tom foi trabalhar para a Big 4 Accounting Company E&Y e para a empresa global de consultoria de gestão Accenture. O único problema era ... ele não tava nem aí para esse trabalho. Após 2 anos no mundo corporativo, as coisas tiveram que mudar… E mudaram, quando ele vendeu seu primeiro par de leggings masculinas para alguém que não conhecia através da Internet em 2013 (descubra como no livro;)). Tom passou então os próximos 4 anos investindo tempo na construção de empresas na Internet. Essa jornada levou Tom a falar em um evento do TEDx sobre fracasso, lançar seu negócio de leggings masculinas no Dragons' e viajar pelo mundo, enquanto construía, escalava e vendia negócios na Internet.
