Getting Funded

Proof-of-Concept, Due Diligence, Risk and Reward

By: Chandra S. Mishra

Investors receive thousands of business plans, but only a few businesses receive funding. While there are many "how-tos" out there for entrepreneurs, no one has focused on the mind-set, tools, and foundation that are important to investors, and therefore essential to entrepreneurs. Getting Funded examines and develops a framework on which to base a business concept, conduct due diligence research and risk analysis, refine a business model and reformulate a business strategy, and develop a risk and reward structure that protects investment money and incentivizes entrepreneurs to successfully manage the opportunity to create and share value. Getting Funded shows entrepreneurs the tools and framework critical to a venture's success, teaching entrepreneurs to refine their business model and strategy as well as to develop an investment model to improve the investability of the venture and thereby increase the chances of getting funded. Even without the need for external funding, these tools will improve a venture's potential odds of success. Listen to the author discuss the book on the UK-based radio show, The Evening Show with Simon Rose.

Friction Stir Superplasticity for Unitized Structures

A volume in the Friction Stir Welding and Processing Book Series

By: Zongyi Ma,Rajiv S. Mishra

This book describes the fundamentals and potential applications of 'friction stir superplasticity for unitized structures'. Conventional superplastic forming of sheets is limited to the thickness of 3 mm because the fine grained starting material is produced by rolling. Friction stir superplasticity has grown rapidly in the last decade because of the effectiveness of microstructural refinement. The thickness of the material remains almost constant, and that allows for forming of thick sheets/plates, which was not possible before. The field has reached a point where designers have opportunities to expand the extent of unitized structures, which are structures in which the traditional primary part and any supporting structures are fabricated as a single unit. With advanced optimization and material considerations, this class of structures can be lighter weight and more efficient, making them less costly, as well as mechanically less complex, reducing areas of possible failure. - Discusses how friction stir processing allows selective microstructural refinement without thickness change - Demonstrates how higher thickness sheets and plates can be superplastically formed - Examples are presented for aluminum, magnesium and titanium alloys - Covers the production of low-cost unitized structures by selectively processing cast sheets/plates

Metallurgy and Design of Alloys with Hierarchical Microstructures

By: Krishnan K. Sankaran,Rajiv S. Mishra

Metallurgy and Design of Alloys with Hierarchical Microstructures covers the fundamentals of processing-microstructure-property relationships and how multiple properties are balanced and optimized in materials with hierarchical microstructures widely used in critical applications. The discussion is based principally on metallic materials used in aircraft structures; however, because they have sufficiently diverse microstructures, the underlying principles can easily be extended to other materials systems. With the increasing microstructural complexity of structural materials, it is important for students, academic researchers and practicing engineers to possess the knowledge of how materials are optimized and how they will behave in service. The book integrates aspects of computational materials science, physical metallurgy, alloy design, process design, and structure-properties relationships, in a manner not done before. It fills a knowledge gap in the interrelationships of multiple microstructural and deformation mechanisms by applying the concepts and tools of designing microstructures for achieving combinations of engineering properties—such as strength, corrosion resistance, durability and damage tolerance in multi-component materials—used for critical structural applications. - Discusses the science behind the properties and performance of advanced metallic materials - Provides for the efficient design of materials and processes to satisfy targeted performance in materials and structures - Enables the selection and development of new alloys for specific applications based upon evaluation of their microstructure as illustrated in this work

Friction Stir Processing for Enhanced Low Temperature Formability

A volume in the Friction Stir Welding and Processing Book Series

By: Christopher B. Smith,Rajiv S. Mishra

The use of friction stir processing to locally modify the microstructure to enhanced formability has the potential to alter the manufacturing of structural shapes. There is enough research to put together a short monograph detailing the fundamentals and key findings. One example of conventional manufacturing technique for aluminum alloys involves fusion welding of 5XXX series alloys. This can be replaced by friction stir welding, friction stir processing and forming. A major advantage of this switch is the enhanced properties. However qualification of any new process involves a series of tests to prove that material properties of interest in the friction stir welded or processed regions meet or exceed those of the fusion welded region (conventional approach). This book will provide a case study of Al5083 alloy with some additional examples of high strength aluminum alloys. - Demonstrates how friction stir processing enabled forming can expand the design space by using thick sheet/plate for applications where pieces are joined because of lack of formability - Opens up new method for manufacturing of structural shapes - Shows how the process has the potential to lower the cost of a finished structure and enhance the design allowables

Creating and Sustaining Competitive Advantage

Management Logics, Business Models, and Entrepreneurial Rent

By: Chandra S. Mishra

This book develops a unified framework to explain the phenomena of competitive advantage and firm value creation in dynamic environments. Through a new strategic value creation theory, it explores how a firm can measure and sustain its competitive advantage through management incentives, capital market forces, organizational culture and structure, and social complexity. It also considers how management can utilize their resources and capabilities, shadow options, product market forces, customer needs, and organizational learning as a means to differentiate them from the competition. With an innovative approach to theory and research, it will be positioned to inform both scholars and practitioners in management, business strategy, and entrepreneurship on the process of competitive and sustainable value creation.

Widening Our Circle

By: Joan S. Mishra

This book is designed to answer some of the questions you may be asking deep inside yourself. You may not have even put certain questions into words, but just have a longing to find a solution to whatever is bothering you. If you are a young woman, you or your friends have probably battled with one or more of these issues: suicidal thoughts, depression, relationship struggles, eating disorders or health problems. Although this is a wide-range of subjects, I believe the answers to these challenges all lie in the same fundamental truths. You can discover these truths for yourself by observing your own experience and by beginning to understand the thoughts of enlightened men and women, such as Einstein, Jesus, the Dalai Lama, Buddha and other great teachers. Much of their guidance, I feel, will point you in this one direction—the purpose of your life is to know your own inner Self. You will be amazed to find that the closer you come to understanding how to do this, the closer you will come to being free from whatever problems weigh you down. It sounds so simple, and in way, it is.
