Michael E. Gerber, author of the #1 most successful business book ever, The E-Myth, calls Take the Fear Out of Franchising a "great book" that is "a must for any prospective franchisee or franchisor." Written by one of the world's foremost authorities on franchising, Dr. John P. Hayes, Take the Fear Out of Franchising gets right to the nub of what's really important about buying, owning and operating a franchise. Many people who consider buying a franchise never do because they get stuck in the process. That's fear! Sadly, people often get stuck over points of little or no consequence, says Dr. Hayes, and that's because they fall into the trap of investigating franchising as an industry. He says that process forces people to concentrate on the wrong points of information and it is mostly a waste of time. It creates more fear and ultimately immobilizes people. Dr. Hayes introduces readers to five franchise tenets that explain why franchising works. He points out that while franchising is a fabulous methodology that has created countless millionaires, it's not foolproof, and it will not work for everyone. He then shows readers how to know if franchising will work for them, and he teaches readers how to investigate franchise opportunities by looking at the only data that really matters! Franchise executive Joe Caruso says Take the Fear Out of Franchising is a "serious guide" to selecting a franchise. Tony Foley, vice president of Global Sales for United Franchise Group, says the book is a "step-by-step realistic guide on how to make one of the most important decisions of your life." And Joe Mancuso, founder of CEO Clubs International, says, "Rather than fear franchising, just read the book." Dr. Hayes is the Titus Chair for Franchise Leadership at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida. He directs the Titus Center for Franchise Studies and teaches the franchise curriculum in the Rinker School of Business.

Two franchise best-sellers in one collection! If you're thinking about buying a franchise, you'll be better prepared to make wise decisions by reading 101 Questions To Ask Before You Invest In A Franchise and 7 Dirty Little Secrets of Franchising. Both books are included in How To Buy A Franchise Collection Volume I. As you prepare to investigate franchise opportunities, you'll appreciate knowing that How To Buy A Franchise provides information that you can trust from one of America's best-known names in franchise education. Reading this book will help you know which questions to ask and, more importantly, who to ask. You'll find questions for franchisors, franchisees, professional advisors, and others. The book helps you think about your responsibilities as a franchisee, leading you to even more questions that will ultimately help you gain the confidence that you need to buy a franchise. Franchising is fabulously successful for many people worldwide. It can be for you, too, especially if you buy the right business. What Amazon.com Reviewers say: J. Barry Watts: Five Stars. "John Hayes has forgotten more about franchising than most people will ever know. He's an undisputed expert in the field, and in this book he spills all the beans so you can make an informed decision about whether a particular franchise is right for you. Before you spend thousands on a franchise, spend a few bucks on this book. It'll make you an informed buyer, and might just save you a fortune!"Daniel Burke: Five Stars. "This is an excellent book. The author's knowledge is clearly at the expert level, and he is candid, honest, and complete about everything associated with opening a franchise."

Test generation is one of the most difficult tasks facing the designer of complex VLSI-based digital systems. Much of this difficulty is attributable to the almost universal use in testing of low, gate-level circuit and fault models that predate integrated circuit technology. It is long been recognized that the testing prob- lem can be alleviated by the use of higher-level methods in which multigate modules or cells are the primitive components in test generation; however, the development of such methods has proceeded very slowly. To be acceptable, high-level approaches should be applicable to most types of digital circuits, and should provide fault coverage comparable to that of traditional, low-level methods. The fault coverage problem has, perhaps, been the most intractable, due to continued reliance in the testing industry on the single stuck-line (SSL) fault model, which is tightly bound to the gate level of abstraction. This monograph presents a novel approach to solving the foregoing problem. It is based on the systematic use of multibit vectors rather than single bits to represent logic signals, including fault signals. A circuit is viewed as a collection of high-level components such as adders, multiplexers, and registers, interconnected by n-bit buses. To match this high-level circuit model, we introduce a high-level bus fault that, in effect, replaces a large number of SSL faults and allows them to be tested in parallel. However, by reducing the bus size from n to one, we can obtain the traditional gate-level circuit and models.

The layout of an integrated circuit (lC) is the process of assigning geometric shape, size and position to the components (transistors and connections) used in its fabrication. Since the number of components in modem ICs is enormous, computer- aided-design (CAD) programs are required to automate the difficult layout process. Prior CAD methods are inexact or limited in scope, and produce layouts whose area, and consequently manufacturing costs, are larger than necessary. This book addresses the problem of minimizing exactly the layout area of an important class of basic IC structures called CMOS cells. First, we precisely define the possible goals in area minimization for such cells, namely width and height minimization, with allowance for area-reducing reordering of transistors. We reformulate the layout problem in terms of a graph model and develop new graph-theoretic concepts that completely characterize the fundamental area minimization problems for series-parallel and nonseries-parallel circuits. These concepts lead to practical algorithms that solve all the basic layout minimization problems exactly, both for a single cell and for a one-dimensional array of such cells. Although a few of these layout problems have been solved or partially solved previously, we present here the first complete solutions to all the problems of interest.

To match this high-level circuit model, we introduce a high-level bus fault that, in effect, replaces a large number of SSL faults and allows them to be tested in parallel.

Covering the fundamentals of linear algebra, this book introduces those concepts of quantum physics that are needed to understand quantum circuits and algorithms, and requires only basic familiarity with algebra, graph algorithms and computer engineering.

Combining theory with practical examples, this volume presents a comprehensive overview of logic circuits. The text presents techniques used to analyze, design and test logic circuits with probabilistic behavior, and provides a multidisciplinary approach to uncertainty.
