Seven new quality control tools, often called the seven management and planning (MP) tools
In 1976, the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) saw the need for tools to promote innovation, communicate information and successfully plan major projects. A team researched and developed the seven new quality control tools, often called the seven management and planning (MP) tools, or simply the seven management tools. Not all the tools were new, but their collection and promotion were.
The seven MP tools, listed in an order that moves from abstract analysis to detailed planning, are:
1. Affinity diagram: organizes a large number of ideas into their natural relationships.
2. Relations diagram: shows cause-and-effect relationships and helps you analyze the natural links between different aspects of a complex situation.
3. Tree diagram: breaks down broad categories into finer and finer levels of detail, helping you move your thinking step by step from generalities to specifics.
4. Matrix diagram: shows the relationship between two, three or four groups of information and can give information about the relationship, such as its strength, the roles played by various individuals, or measurements.
5. Matrix data analysis: a complex mathematical technique for analyzing matrices, often replaced in this list by the similar prioritization matrix. One of the most rigorous, careful and time-consuming of decision-making tools, a prioritization matrix is an L-shaped matrix that uses pairwise comparisons of a list of options to a set of criteria in order to choose the best option(s).
6. Arrow diagram: shows the required order of tasks in a project or process, the best schedule for the entire project, and potential scheduling and resource problems and their solutions.
7. Process decision program chart (PDPC): systematically identifies what might go wrong in a plan under development.

Knowledge Managment Tools
With the rapidly changing business world, companies are facing a host of challenging questions:
* How to encourage more dialogue among employees?
* How to encourage better interaction between and amongst staff and clients?
* How to find out who knows what I need to find out more about something?”
* How to find out what should I be reading to find out more about something?”
* How to find out where is a particular item of information or knowledge within the firm?”
* How to find out who would benefit from communicating with whom?”
# Given the messy human and social issues involved in these issues, firms are tempted to look for a short-cut, some kind of off-the-shelf product that could solve these issues for them, among them:
* Autonomy, Inc.(www.autonomy.com)
* BackWeb Technologies (www.backWeb.com)
* Communispace (www.communispace.com)
* Docushare Xerox Corporation (www.xerox.com)
* Eugenia Unity Desktop (www.engenia.com)
* Excalibur Technologies Corporation (www.excalib.com)
* Hummingbird (www.pcdocs.com)
* Intraspect Software, Inc.(www.intraspect.com)
* MAGI (www.projectmagi.com)
* Open Text Corporation (www.opentext.com)
* Plumtree Software (www.plumtree.com)
* SageMaker (www.sagemaker.com)
* Tacit Knowledge (www.tacit.com)
In considering whether to use such tools, some of the questions that should be addressed should include:
* What benefits should each tool should, assuming successful implementation particularly of the human factors, be able to offer?
* Particular attention should be given to the proviso namely "assuming successful implementation particularly of the human factors".

Untapped Business Opporunities Which Is Next Big Thing On Internet Is Buying And Selling Of Advertrising Space
The next big Internet race might turn the buying and selling of advertising space on Web sites into the online equivalent of the pork-bellies pit.
Over the past few years, a host of small companies has started electronic exchanges where advertisers and Web sites can buy and sell online advertising space. The companies, with names like Right Media Inc., AdECN Inc., Turn Inc. and ContextWeb Inc., have been an obscure sideshow to a broader battle over Internet advertising.
That's changing quickly. The biggest Internet companies, including Microsoft Corp., Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc., are focusing attention and money on the emerging business, hoping to be first with the kind of large-scale, dynamic market for the ad industry that the Nasdaq market brought to stocks.
Over time there will be "a handful of winners that build very high-tech marketplaces," predicts Jim Barnett, chief executive of San Mateo, Calif.-based Turn. "That's what we're trying to do; that's what Google is trying to do."
Today, online publications and Internet companies have space for display ads built into their Web sites. Typically, that space gets filled with ads either the old-fashioned way -- through a salesperson -- or by a mix of computers and people called an ad network that automatically sells ads for the spot. But a significant portion of the available ad space -- called "inventory" -- remains unsold, or is sold for next to nothing. Enter the exchanges, which use automated systems to match buyers with sellers of unsold space.

China's New Virtual Universe
China has the world's largest population and one of the world's largest economies. Now it will get a massive virtual universe to match.
Swedish software company MindArk, which operates the online game Entropia Universe, has authorized a Beijing company to create what it calls the largest-ever virtual world for China, MindArk said Friday.
Entropia Universe, which has more than 580,000 players, is an online game set on a fictional planet in which users can work, meet friends, trade and buy virtual land with real cash.
Gothenburg-based MindArk said in a statement the Chinese virtual world will have a capacity of 7 million concurrent players and aims to draw 150 million users in total.
It said the new game is expected to generate $1 billion in economic activity every year.
Elina Heng, a spokeswoman for the new project, said MindArk aims to launch the new game in August 2008.
MindArk Chief Marketing Officer Carl Uggla said MindArk will train artists from its Chinese partner, Cyber Recreation Development Corp., in Gothenburg to design and run several planets within Entropia Universe.
"They will design the planets to suit China, Chinese users," Uggla said in a phone interview.
He declined to say how much the deal is worth.
The MindArk executive said it's up to Cyber Recreation Development to decide whether to allow the Chinese government to censor communications within the Chinese planets.
"That's something between them and the Chinese government," he said.
Cyber Recreation Development didn't immediately respond to faxed questions from The Associated Press.
Some have expressed worries that China's lack of Western-style civil liberties will carry over to the new virtual society.
Though China's communist government promotes Internet use, it has also set up an extensive surveillance and filtering system to prevent Chinese from accessing material considered obscene or politically subversive.
Hong Kong Apple Daily newspaper predicted Friday in a full-page story virtual police will exist in the Chinese game, and that it won't allow players to protest the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, which killed hundreds of people.
Uggla said Friday, "we don't have any police force in Entropia Universe."
