Connectivism
Learning and knowledge rest in diversity of opinions.
Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or
information sources
Capacity to know more is more critical than what is
currently known
Decision-making is itself a learning process.
Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming
information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality.

Learning Theory for the Digital
Age,” Feb. 2014, Accessed: Sep.

FENOMENUL CROSEI DE
HOCHEI
Orice antreprenor ,,visează” la fenomenul crosei de hochei, dar acest
fenomen are atât părți pozitive, cât și părți negative. Poate fi un vis
frumos sau un coșmar. De ce? Pentru că odată cu
creșterea vânzărilor are loc și creșterea numărului de
competitori, a volumului de muncă, a investițiilor, iar dacă o
companie nu este pregătită, ea poate traversa o perioadă de criză.
Fenomenul ,,crosei de hochei” este o expresie folosită pentru a descrie tendința
de creștere a vânzărilor înregistrate într-o companie, tendință care, la sfârșitul
unei perioade fixe de raportare, se concretizează într-un grafic de venituri din
vânzări care seamănă cu o crosă de hochei.
Graficul începe linear, fără prea multe variații, urmând ca spre sfârșitul
perioadei respective, să se înregistreze o creștere bruscă, graficul luând forma
unei crose de hochei.
O companie
lansează un
produs sau un
serviciu,
înregistrând la
început vânzări
scăzute
Companie
Cu trecerea timpului,
publicul începe să le
cunoască și
folosească, iar
vânzările cresc
treptat
Apoi, brusc ceva se
întâmplă, clienții
încep să le
recomande, iar
vânzările explodează,
crescând exponențial
Momentul
magic
NU RUPE CROSA DE
HOCHEI!
Crește prin primii
utilizatori și networking
Cercetează toată piața potențială și nu te
baza doar pe primul tip de utilizatori
Dezvoltă procese replicabile
generatoare de lead-uri
Nu angaja oameni noi până nu
ai identificat profilul potrivit
Se rupe din cauza:
Culcării pe o ureche, a preconcepției ca
vânzările merg execelent și o vor ține tot a
Înțelegerii greșite a potențialei piețe
Procese slabe de colectat lead-uri
Angajarea prea rapidă și nepotrivită de
personal
