  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Project Management Tools Employed in Various Industries Author: Thirumalai, Mukundan, Katarya, Nitin, Singh, Neelu Year: 2010 A project is a specific venture that has a clear start and a finish in order to accomplish a set of predefined goals through a sequence of predetermined processes. Project management is the art or the discipline to ensure that the project can be successful, through a seamless performance of orderly arranged activities and phases resulting in project deliverables [1].

These tools are considered to be very useful in guiding the whole organization into the same direction. Despite the acknowledged fact that projects in any organization should support the overall strategy of the organization, it was noticed that the usage of the tools in the project life cycle was rare projects rarely use these tools. The paper also seeks to see if the size of the organization was representative of the level of project management maturity in the use of processes and tools during the project life cycle. The paper also looks at the nature of the industry to see if that has a bearing on the processes or tools in use in the organizations that fall under each industrial category analyzed. The paper also tries to compare project management processes in those projects that are mainline to the business and those that are ancillary to the business. Lastly, the paper also touches upon what are the trends in methodologies that project managers have to be aware of when embarking on the utilization of processes or tools for a project.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Strategic Planning for Ossia Inc. Author: Alzahrani, Ahmed, Hsu, Allen Wei Chen, Al Saglab, Bashir Year: 2016 Technology and science are changing the daily activities and revolutionizing the normal human lives. These technological and scientific breakthroughs are usually making our lives simpler and changing the way we do things. In many aspects and views, life is getting more collaborated whether in transportation, communication, or in power transmitting. This revolution in technology and science leads to many futuristic applications in our lives. Wireless charging technology is one of the existence applications that benefits from this peak. This application has become an important trend as it can solve many existing problems in many fields. While wireless charging technology over years, a new form of this technology has highlighted the roadmap of the future of this technology where devices can be charged over a distance without the need chargers and cords by using the Radio Frequency waves to transmit power. The aim of this report is to define the strategy aspects of Ossia, one of the startup companies that have introduced this technology, by producing a wireless charger named “Cota”. The definition of the strategy aspects will answer the following questions: “What is the company mission, vision, and goals? What are the value propositions?”. Moreover, we also cover the targeted customer segments for the value proposition and the identification of the product strategy and the market strategy. Finally, some suggestions and thoughts for future research. Title: Strategic Planning for Ossia Inc.
