Why tech companies fail to jump the financial S-curve
… Many of them have failed to jump the financial S-curve, create and climb a new one. To address this, I have referred to seminal works, have gained insights from experts, have captured inputs from corporate leaders, have consulted academicians, and have discussed with fellow Sloan Fellows. In this …

Transitory Forecasting Methodology: Passenger/Revenue Share and Capacity Share (The S-Curve)
… share to determine the presence of the s-curve. The author is unaware of a current, accepted analysis for understanding the s-curve with any degree of reliability. Regression analysis was used to correlate service/capacity share against passenger share for domestic, United States air …

Incorporating Spatial and Temporal Variation of Watershed Response in a GIS-based Hydrologic Model
… outlet was simulated using the time-area curve concept implemented in a geographic information system (GIS). The goal of this study was to determine if hydrograph prediction accuracy would be improved by accounting for spatial and temporal variation of excess rainfall. Three models with …

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Microwave Heating of Thermal Runaway Materials
… of this phenomenon is the so-called "S-curve" theory. However, prior to this work, no direct experimental evidence has been published to verify this theory. In this dissertation, we report the direct experimental evidence of the so-called "S-curve" by heating thermal runaway materials in …

Modeling the NCAA Tournament Through Bayesian Logistic Regression
… NCAA Tournament, such as seeding teams on an S-curve, and the Pomeroy and Sagarin ratings, simplifying the process of choosing winners to a comparison of two numbers. Rather than creating a rating system, we analyze each matchup by using the difference between the teams' individual regular …

Location based technology and services : a business plan and in-depth industry analysis
… industries, addressing topics such as the S-curve, value chain, network externalities, entry strategies, and technology diffusion. Building off of this analysis, a business plan for a location-based application is presented.

Exchange Rates and Trade Balance: Testing the Short- and Long-Run Relationship Using Data for Small Semi-Open Economies
… but one of the countries examined, the J and S curve short-run hypotheses were rejected. The findings with respect to income and money variables did not uniformly reject or accept hypotheses from the absorption or monetary approaches either for the short run or the long run. What was generally …

Essays on managing innovation
… this paper reconceptualizes the Technology S-Curve not as a technological given but as an envelope of potential outcomes derived by managerial action. We define and investigate a choice-based approach along several key dimensions of technological options, including the tradeoff between …

New frontiers in diffusion modeling
… of an innovation is observed to follow the 'S-curve'. Diffusion modeling is an approach to analyse the process of diffusion of innovation. Several diffusion models have been developed to predict the penetration curves while many other models are developed to explain the complexities of the …

Transformation Tolerance of Facial Recognition Technology and Informative Evaluation Metrics
… performance-blur relationship is modeled as an s-curve, creating a highly interpretable format for discussion. Blur strength was consistently statistically significant to performance, but color variation did not significantly impact any model. Results are then compared to prior human recognition …

Impact of ion-neutral collisions in fluid models of plasma sheath
… model reproduced well the theoretical Paschen's curve for direct-current argon discharges. The lower pressure limit of the current fluid model was also tested, and the observations highlight the necessity of a similar analysis for the electron collisionality.

Analysis of value creation and value capture in microfluidics market
… management frameworks, such as, s-curve, adopter's distribution model, the thesis studied the nature of value creation and value capture. Survey was used to quantify the impact and the diffusion and adoption of microfluidics technologies, as the respective indicators of value …

Dynamics of implementation of mitigating measures to reduce CO₂ emissions from commercial aviation
… implementation of changes generally followed S-curves with relatively long time-constants. This research analyzed the diffusion characteristics of a portfolio of CO₂ emission mitigating measures and their relative contribution to cumulative system wide improvements. A literature review …

RAFT Polymer Networks as a 4D Platform
… complex techniques such as hinge-bending and s-curve bending were attempted to show the capabilities of RAFT-based LPNs. After this comes mechanical modification; in our work, we demonstrate growth with a crosslinker to produce daughter networks which are harder and tougher than their parent …

Independent innovation through digital fabrication focusing on explorations in reconfigurable pin tooling
… Reflections of this study in relation to S-curve theory (Christensen, 1997; Foster, 1986) are also included. The insights from this research have resulted in a concluding argument which proposes that an innovation toolset, which is combined by several facilitating aspects, can be seen as …

Design of Latent Thermal Energy Storage Systems
… melted material increases in time according to a curve shaped as an S. These theoretical predictions are validated by means of numerical simulations in chapter 4. This chapter also shows that the heat transfer rate density increases (i.e., the S curve becomes steeper) as the complexity and number …
