  • Computer Software

    Computer Software

    E-Content B.Ed ll Sem Paper Name: Computer Education Paper code : BED 308(B) Unit : ll COMPUTER SOFTWARE MEANING:- Computer software, also called software, is a set of instructions and its documentations that tells a computer what to do or how to perform a task. Software includes all different software programs on a computer, such as applications and the operating system. This includes application software such as a word processor, which enables a user to perform a task, and system software such as an operating system, which enables other software to run properly, by interfacing with hardware and with other software. Practical computer systems divide software into three major classes: system software, programming software and application software, although the distinction is arbitrary, and often blurred. Computer software has to be "loaded" into the computer's storage (such as a hard drive, memory, or RAM). Once the software is loaded, the computer is able to execute the software. Computers operate by executing the computer program. This involves passing instructions from the application software, through the system software, to the hardware which ultimately receives the instruction as machine code. Each instruction causes the computer to carry out an operation -- moving data, carrying out a computation, or altering the control flow of instructions. CHARACTERISTICS:- Software characteristics are classified into 6 major components: Functionality: It refers to the degree of performance of the software against its intended purpose. It basically means are the required functions. Reliability:A set of attribute that Bear on the capability of software to maintain its level of performances understated conditions for a stated period of time.

    Network Position and Exploratory Knowledge Creation: Evidence from US IT Clusters

    HEC MONTRÉAL École affiliée à l’Université de Montréal Network Position and Exploratory Knowledge Creation: Evidence from US IT Clusters YANG GAO Master of Science in International Business February 2017 © YANG GAO, 2017 Abstract In This study, I explore the effects of structures of technological alliance networks on firms’ exploratory knowledge creation. The research is built upon the connections between social network, organizational learning, and organizational ambidexterity theories. Firms pursue knowledge creation opportunities by forming technological alliances, but no consensus has been reached regarding the optimum strategy of alliance formation activities, i.e., whether the return of knowledge creation always increases in tandem with numbers of alliances or it diminishes at some point due to various factors such as costs of maintaining ties and capabilities of absorb information and knowledge generated from alliances. The study sheds light on the controversy of whether the relationship between network structures and knowledge creation is positive or curvilinear by distinguishing different orientations of knowledge creation activities, which entail different network structures and strategies. More specifically, by extracting exploratory knowledge creation from the overall knowledge creation activities, the relationship between basic network position features and exploration is more focused and accurate. Empirical investigation, which uses hand-collected data of alliance activities and patent application behaviors of 67 firms in several IT clusters in US, proves the curvilinear relationship between alliance network centrality and exploratory knowledge creation. Results of the study help to address the conflicts of networks’ effects on knowledge creation with new evidence from knowledge intensive industries, and provided insights on organizational learning and firm innovation strategies.

    6 GOLDEN “Mom, That’S a Great Poem, but I Need Some Money,” He Replied Quickly

    KEVIN O’LEARY When Kevin graduated from the University of Waterloo with a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies, he was hit with a startling reality. He was cut off. THE O’LEARY FAMILY SECRETS When it happened his mother shared a bit of insight, “My mother said to me, ‘The dead bird under the nest is the one that never learned how to fly,’” 6 GOLDEN “Mom, that’s a great poem, but I need some money,” he replied quickly. But his days of being provided for were over, and he knew it was time to learn how to provide. “Woah, no dead bird for me,” he decided. Less than 10 years later he would start the software company SoftKey, that would RULES eventually become The Learning Company and be sold to Mattel for $4.2 billion. He credits his mother’s loving financial desertion for his individual success as he OF INVESTING presides over a multitude of companies bearing his last name: O’Leary Fine Wines, financial company O’Shares Investments, and private equity firm O’Leary Ventures. My Personal Plan for Financial Peace Kevin continues this practice with his own children, Trevor and Savannah. It’s import- ant to give people what they need, not just what they want. He says, “You can’t empower them, you can’t entitle them. You have to prepare people to go and do their own thing.” Kevin sees it as his responsibility as a successful entrepreneur to provide a road map for the next generation of hustlers. Not just of his successes, but his failures as well, so that they don’t have to keep making the same mistakes.
