December 6

Today we had Study Skills lesson , during  the lesson we finally a pointed topics for the personal project  mine was creation of a game.  I was  interested in coding for quite long time . That's why on the bases of my interests I decided to try myself in the game development . My goal is  creation of first person shooter game based on language of C#.

As  main software I have chosen Unity3d , the major reason for it was an  easy way in use of it and number of tutorials created for it.   Using it I will create  my game . My second software will be blender 3d modelling , with an access to it I will establish my characters , setting and basic equipment.

I think that by February 2016 my beta version will be ready for presentation and full game will be available in the March of 2016.

 Management of the product (game)

• Empathy
• Define
• Ideate
• Prototype
• Test

Introduction:

Design thinking used by many entrepreneurs in order to find creative solution to complicated problems.It helps  to  manage  a product , in a way  of outsourcing not eligible information and coming up with great product.

Considering my patience to entrepreneurship and coding I decided to combine two of those hobbies and by use of design thinking create a management plan which will be followed by fully working product.

My aim is to establish management plan for my game , and in the end present a prototype

Type of research

My research will be mixed as in research paper will be included statistics in terms of numbers but also a information gathered from beta testers

Research Question:

Keys to success in design thinking

Research Problem:

It's important to be aware of what is currently happening in one of the fastest growing industries

Method

Im planning to steadily follow points proposed by the design thinking model ,at first I will try to use web  sources and consultations with people  to determine my audience then threw the process of outsourcing I will create my first draft version of scale , afterwards I m planning to create a prototype which will be shared with a fewer of people for testing.

April 15th

These is my 5th entry on the personal project so far my work progressing I finally managed to create a character fro my fps game . For these I used FUSE CC these is a 3d modelling unit for establishment of  3d characters. This software is used by many digital designers and game developers , my choice was based on quality of models produced by this software and on a simplicity of use of it. Another issue with blender (the software I  planed to use ) it was able to create only low poly characters and also required allot of skill in sculpting and modelling .

As you  might see these software allows you to select particular parts of human body and then shape those .Afterwards you can add several types of cloth . Then I exported this character to the adobe Mixamo , another impressive software created by adobe creative cloud , that allowed me to rig it and then animate it . Mixamo has a variety of animation for a different types of the objectives.

These is a current  character, Im imported to  "Unity Engine" in the future Im planning to add several other 3D characters.

Here is some samples of my company basic description for the marketing plan.

Executive Summary

Active duty was developed by the Gambit Studio , our main competitive advantage is that we are free and because of that we can seize much more customers rather than such big companies as activision. Currently Game development industry  is increasingly growing only in 2010 it earned in revenue over 10 billion dollars only in us. We providing a free gaming service with ability of in game payments by that I mean as long players are willing to win they will continually donate . Another privilege we are getting of being free is that we attracting more active users this results in increasing interest to us from a promotion agencies who will want to place their advertisements in our game.  

The challenge

“Active Duty ” was  created in march  of 2016 it's fps shooter game , which was created by the Gambit Studio in 2016 . It is our current and main startup . The Game Launch is planned on the May 17 th we are planning to achieve  the large number of active users in order to increase profits . The Game will be free in use but it will ask for an in game payment for the development of particular game experience . After will increase the active player group we are planning to increase the number of employees and hardware to increase gaming experience . All these changes are vital for the company scalability .Later on when we will increase the size of active users we also will be able to sell space for the advertisements. By doing that we will increase in size and value .

Also I created a logo for my company and started working on my website

I choose name gambit after the strategical move in chess.

Research problem : s. An exploratory study reveals the existence ofbehavioral planning problems in marketing planning, and contrasts these with the utilization of analytical planning techniques in explaining the credibility of plans produce.  These findings have a number of implications for the management of the marketing planning process, and also for developing a more robust conceptualization of the marketing planning processforfurther study. 

Aim of the paper:  The underlying proposition in this paper is that a broader process perspective in the area of strategic marketing planning has the potential for enhancing our understanding and ability to manage marketing.

Research question: 

Goal/Focus topic : Behavioral Problems Compared to Analytical Techniques in Explaining Marketing Plan Credibility

Methodology (activities that you will do): The extant marketing planning literature is examined in the context of qualitative field interviews with marketing executives, and a synthesis is attempted. We then discuss the research methodology adopted, and the measurement constructs utilized. Next, we develop from the literature and fieldwork interviews some hypothesized relationships between factors associated with two of the possible dimensions of the marketing planning process and the credibility of the plans produced within respondent organizations. Finally, we discuss the testing of the hypothesized relationships through a path model, and the implications of the study in terms of further propositions for future research, and propose an extended management agend

During Study Skills class we were given assignment to visit web page of qura.com and choose any article  according to our interest and then analyse it with bloom taxonomy . I dedicated mine  to the quite wise topic in particular to  fundamental analysis , those are quite famous in entrepreneurship but mostly they are used in financial industry to predict the value of investment on a stock. It's used by many major companies and of course there is variety of methods of using it .That's why I decided  to analyze article which is dedicated to Warren Buffett's analyses of intrinsic  value of the companies .

I will start with explanation of philosophy of Waren Buffett . He follows  Benjamin Graham  school of value investing .Value investing is the philosophy of investing in a security when its share price undervalues its intrinsic worth. There is no universal way of determining intrinsic value most common is fundamental analysis of the company. In these particular method  investor  working as bargain hunter he or she buys stock which is undervalued by market , stock that are valuable but not recognized as such by the majority of buyers . Buffet took whole these philosophy to absolutely another level. The majority of value investors don't support efficient market hypothesis ( is an investment theory that states it is impossible to "beat the market"(- A: "Beating the market" means trying to earn an investment return greater than that of the S&P 500 index) only way investor can make money is by taking more riskier investments ) but they still believe that market will eventually recognize those stock. Buffet deals with whole situation absolutely differently he doesn't think about market activities at all he considers each as whole. He chooses stock based on its overall potential as business and holds it as long term investment. He is unattached to stock value on a market he looks for a ownership of a qualitative company which further may bring earnings to him.

Buffett methodology based on six major points which he usually asking himself to evaluate intrinsic stock .Those things not only the analysis but also things he looking in his companies.

1.Has the company consistently performed well?

Usually to understand performance of the company Buffett looks for ROE which stands by return on equity  (is the amount of net return of as percentage of shareholders equity) , also is referred to " return stakeholders investments" he looks on it in order to find out how company performed for whole time , whether company was growing consistently and compares these data to companies in the same industry.

2.Has the company avoided excess debt?

Here he checks for companies debt/equity ratio he prefers to see small total liabilities in relation to shareholders equity.  Bigger  total liabilities might result volatile expenses and large interest expenses.

Equation for calculation of debt/equity:

Total Liabilities/Shareholders Equity

3.Are profit margins high?

Having a good profit margin means that company executing it self well but increasing profit margin means that management of the business is on a high level too.

4.How long has company being public?

Buffet usually invest in companies which was around at least for ten years .  For that reason he not invest in majority of modern technological companies as they are stood on the market only for several years. Another reason that he doesn't invest in things which he not understand, and he openly 
admits that he doesn't understand what nowadays technological companies do.

5.Do the company products rely on commodity?

Buffett looks for products which are unique in their industry or at least that those are hardly replicable. If companies product have any characteristics which is hard to replicate then it have bigger competitive advantage in compare  to other companies in their industry.

6.Is the stock selling to 25% to its real revenue?  

It is always important to have five previous assets into company but except of that main criteria of choice for  Warren Buffett is liquidation value these means what will be companies worth if it would be broken and sold today. Also If companies intrinsic value measurement is at least 25% higher than companies market capitalization , Buffett sees these company as worth of investment.



From my research I can understand that Warren Buffett is working by scheme buy on a lower price and sell by a higher. But his real secret in determination and evaluation of  intrinsic value of particular company.He is not similar to the majority of traders as he looking not for a market value but for business as whole , those long term activities   one of the major reason which brought to him his billions.

All previous points which were mentioned are widely used threw the investors and might be used by anyone for checking intrinsic value and possibly gaining profit .
