ACE Stream – outstanding audio-visual quality for Internet online broadcasts, with the lowest cost of storing and delivering content! The best software in the world for online playback of audio/video content in BitTorrent networks, proven with millions of users in a pilot project, is now available for professional use and commercial exploration! For a long time our innovative software allowed users of System to enjoy high-quality playback many times greater than the level of audio-visual quality of all existing VoD (Video on Demand) broadcasts performed on OTT (Over the Top) systems that use a centralized system of storing and delivering content. Testing TS System in a decentralized mode, with no central servers to support streams, provided the best economic effect — a cost of storing and delivering content equal to zero! Before ACE Stream products were released there were more than 100 million online views, with the total number of traffic consumed exceeding 300 petabytes. A VoD service relying solely on standard CDN operators would experience traffic alone costs of more than $30 million (based on an average cost of services $0.1 for 1GB of traffic). More than two years of testing, constant improvement, and results have allowed us to present you with a new product opening incredible, innovative features in Internet broadcasting while providing the most reliable and efficient system for storing and delivering content.
For OTT operators and any other services that use functions of AVoD and Live Stream we prepared a comprehensive solution called ACE Stream Media. ACE Stream Media is an innovative, new generation media-platform, with a decentralized distribution system of storing and delivering content, designed to create high-quality internet services with AvoD functions (audio and video on demand) and Live Streaming, with an extensive social and interactive component (IOTT).

To understand the fundamental concepts of business research methods To appreciate the several terminologies in business research To be able to identify one’s own philosophical position in business research To be able to identify one’s own practical position in business research.

What is Business Research? “The application of the scientific method in searching for the truth about business phenomena.
These activities include defining business opportunities and problems, generating and evaluating ideas, monitoring performance, and understanding the business process.” (Zikmund, 2010, p5). Scope of Research BASIC TYPES OF RESEARCH APPLIED Non-Specific Specific Research Research. Type of Research Natural Sciences Social Sciences Management Sciences (Business Research). What is Theory? “A formal, logical explanation of some events that includes predictions of how things relate to one another.” (Zikmund, 2010, p39). What is Good Theory? “A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements.
It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements. And it must make definite predictions about the result of future observations” (Source: Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time, 1988 ). A prediction about the relationship between two or more variables. Prediction is about what researcher expects to find in his/her research. Hypotheses are more specific than theories. A theory could have many different hypotheses. If the hypotheses offered by the theory are confirmed, the theory is supported. If the hypotheses offered by the theory are rejected, the theory is not supported and should be re-evaluated through further research.
Null Hypothesis (H0) There is no relationship between two measured phenomena. H0:There is no link between smoking and cancer. Null Hypothesis can never be proven.
It can either be rejected or fail to reject.Alternative Hypothesis (H1) A hypothesis to be adopted if the Null hypothesis implied to be highly implausible. The hypothesis to be accepted if the Null hypothesis is rejected. H1: There is significant link between smoking and cancer.“Most confusing phrase in research: Fail to reject Null Hypothesis”. Reject H0 Don’t Reject H1 Truth H0 Type I Error Right Decision (False Positive) H1 Right Decision Type II Error (False Negative)Type I Error Example - H0: The patient is not sick. Implies patient is sick.
Actual fact is the patient is healthy.Type II Error Example - H0: The patient is not sick. Don’t Reject H0. Implies patient is healthy. Actual fact is the patient is sick. Independent Variable: The presumed “cause” in the theoretical model. Dependent Variable: The presumed “effect” in the theoretical model.
Moderating Variable: Suspected or known to impact or influence the Dependent Variable.
