Three Most Critical Elements of Venture Success: People, Customers and Sales
Stanford / Entrepreneurship
William Sahlman, professor at Harvard Business School, states that people, customers and sales are the critical ingredients of venture success. Specifically, Sahlman states that 1) Having the right people, 2) Focusing on customers rather than technology, and 3) Concentrating on sales instead of marketing are critical elements of success.

Steve Young, former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, explains how he uses different elements of negotiation throughout his life, whether it is in his marriage or on the field. According to Young, financial returns are not the only incentive in negotiations. He describes one of the negotiation tactics he used with his agent Leigh Steinberg.

The most prominent chemist in the generation following Lavoisier was Berzelius in Sweden. Together with Gay-Lussac in Paris and Davy in London, he discovered new elements, and improved atomic weights and combustion analysis for organic compounds. Invention of electrolysis led not only to new elements but also to the theory of dualism, with elements being held together by electrostatic attraction. Wöhler's report on the synthesis of urea re...more

This lecture covers resistive forces such as air drag. It includes the viscous (linear in velocity) and pressure (quadratic in velocity) terms. Quantitative demonstrations with balloons and with ball bearings dropped in syrup are shown. He concludes with numerical calculations of air drag examples, also discussing the contribution of air drag to the quantitative experiments down earlier in the course with falling apples.
