Bibliography for “A History of Silicon Valley” – Rao and Scaruffi As of 25 January 2011 Bibliography for “A History of Silicon Valley” – Rao and Scaruffi As of 25 January 2011 Piero’s Note: As a side note to this bibliography, Wikipedia turned out to be the worst possible source. Most of its articles are simply press releases from public-relationship departments, with all the omissions and distortions that they deem appropriate for their business strategies. On the other hand, vintage magazines and newspapers were an invaluable source of information and analysis. If websites like Wikipedia are going to replace the magazines and newspapers of the past, the loss to scholarship will be colossal: the most persistent marketing department (or fan) will decide what information will be available to future generations. Too many books written about Silicon Valley rely heavily on interviews with the ―protagonists‖ (or presumed such). Having written several ―history‖ books, my experience is that interviews with the protagonists are not (at all) a good way to assess what truly happened. The protagonists generally hold a biased view of the events, and sometimes just don‘t remember well (dates, places, names). More information, a photographic tour and biographies of many individuals mentioned in this book can be found at www.svhistory.com. Arun’s Note: Wikipedia was a handy reference pointing to other primary and secondary sources – by itself it was unreliable, especially on startup and corporate history. Much of the literature on Silicon Valley is still in journal and newspaper articles which we consulted, along with a range of relevant books. We present below what is likely the most complete bibliography of primary and secondary research on Silicon Valley. We generally found that the Stanford and UC Berkeley university library systems had everything we needed. 2 BOOKS & MONOGRAPHS General History Caddes, Carolyn.

  • Problems and Possibilities of Private Equity and Environmental Sustainability
    Fordham University DigitalResearch@Fordham Student Theses 2015-Present Environmental Studies 2019 Problems and Possibilities of Private Equity and Environmental Sustainability Katherine N. Elliot Follow this and additional works at: https://fordham.bepress.com/environ_2015 Elliot 1 Problems and Possibilities of Private Equity and Environmental Sustainability By Katherine Elliot Elliot 2 Abstract This paper addresses the relationship between the American private equity industry and environmental sustainability. The connection between large financial industries and the environment is one that is often viewed negatively, especially in terms of private equity. As an industry that measures success with exponential economic growth and gaining the largest financial returns, environmental impacts are often sidelined. This paper explores the potential private equity has to incorporate environmental sustainability into the core of its business. Chapter 1 lays out the fundamentals of how the Private Equity industry operates. It also establishes what has caused firms to begin to adopt sustainability. Data from Ernst & Young’s report “Understanding PE’s Impact on the Community” creates a baseline for this section. Chapter 2 employs history to understand the evolution of the relationship between private equity and sustainability. This is done by recounting the development of corporate philanthropy, corporate social responsibility and corporate sustainability. Chapter 3 establishes where current private equity firms stand on sustainability by examining their current practices. This is done through using principles of sustainable business outlined in different sustainability reporting systems. Examined are the four largest private equity firms in America: Blackstone, Warburg Pincus, The Carlyle Group and KKR. Chapter 4 identifies common missteps in behavior among private equity firms from a sociological perspective.

    EDWARDS ANGELL PALMER & DODGE LLP VENTURE CAPITAL, PRIVATE EQUITY AND HEDGE FUNDS: STRUCTURE AND RISK EXPOSURES By © John D. Hughes and M. Machua Millett March 2009 I. The Venture Capital and Private Equity Business Venture capital and other private equity funds (including leveraged buyout funds) are forms of high-risk, but potentially high-return investing. This paper will concentrate primarily on venture capital funds, but many of the structural and other concepts are equally applicable to private equity funds. Fund Structure Typically a venture capital firm will solicit investors for a fund of between $10 million and $1 billion in capital, although most funds are at the lower end of this range. Venture capital (and private equity) funds typically are structured as limited partnerships (more recently, though still to a lesser extent, they often are formed as limited liability companies). Investors in the fund purchase one or more units of limited partnership interests. The managers of the fund (i.e., the venture capitalists) determine how the fund invests its money in developing companies, and act as general partners of the limited partnership (or managers of an LLC). Usually, the limited partners contribute 99% of the capital of the fund through their purchase of limited partnership interests in accordance with capital commitments. The general partners contribute the remaining 1% of the committed capital of the fund by purchasing their general partnership interests. Fund Development Stages A venture capital fund passes through four stages of development, lasting for a total of perhaps ten years. During the first stage, the fund raises capital.

  • Hypothesis-Driven Entrepreneurship: the Lean Startup
    For the exclusive use of H. Berglund, 2016. 9-812-095 REV: JULY 10, 2013 THOMAS EISENMANN E R I C R I E S SARAH DILLARD Hypothesis-Driven Entrepreneurship: The Lean Startup Startups are new organizations created by entrepreneurs to launch new products. A startup’s founders typically confront significant resource constraints and considerable uncertainty about the viability of their proposed business model. A hypothesis-driven approach to entrepreneurship maximizes, per unit of resources expended, the amount of information gained for resolving such uncertainty. When following this approach, an entrepreneur translates her vision into falsifiable business model hypotheses, and then tests those hypotheses using a series of minimum viable products (MVPs). Each MVP represents the smallest set of activities needed to disprove a hypothesis. Based on test feedback, an entrepreneur must decide whether to persevere with her proposed business model; pivot to a revised model that changes some model elements while retaining others; or simply perish, abandoning the new venture. She repeats this process until all of the key business model hypotheses have been validated through MVP tests. At this point, the startup has achieved product-market fit: it has a product that profitably meets the needs of the target market’s customers, and can commence scaling. A hypothesis-driven approach helps reduce the biggest risk facing entrepreneurs: offering a product that no one wants. Many startups fail because their founders waste resources building and marketing products before they have resolved business model uncertainty. By contrast, early-stage entrepreneurs who follow a hypothesis-driven approach do not view growth as their primary objective.

  • Paypal Options for Online Purchases David Herfors Halmstad University Dated: January 3, 2017 Keywords: Paypal, Online Purchases, Payment Service
    PayPal options for online purchases David Herfors Halmstad University Dated: January 3, 2017 Keywords: PayPal, Online purchases, Payment service Abstract PayPal is the leader in the field of online payment platform. Their ability to prevent fraudulent activities and PayPal´s high safety is the main reason for its success. PayPal is mostly used in costumer to costumer market but their business market users are also rising. Users are secured with a buy and sell insurance when they use PayPal services. If someone has purchased something online that then are not delivered, or that deviates markedly from the seller's description, PayPal can reimburse the full amount of the goods. Other services such as transferring money between friends are also possible. PayPal´s buy and sell insurance is what online purchasers’ value the most when they are shopping online and PayPal is at the forefront of this. If this type of insurances that PayPal provides would not exist people would purchase online less than they do today. PayPal has revolutionized and ameliorate the entire online purchase market for everyone with their safe payment platform. Introduction Online purchases have a history of fraudulent activity. Since new payment platforms, especially PayPal, have been created this illegal actions have been reduced a lot (Jackson, 2008). The conditions for online purchases has changed and more people than ever are using this type of payment platform. PayPal is used for both private and business users. In the field of customer to customer PayPal is the leader payment platform and their business users are also rising (Gonzalez, 2004).
