- INTRODUCTION
-
- "Nobody ever got rich working for somebody else"
-
- So why not set up a business of your own, take charge of your
- life and become really prosperous? As John Naisbitt and
- Patricia Aburdene are saying in their book "Reinventing the
- Corporation":
-
- "In the industrial society, it took megabucks to build a
- plant or factory. Now you need a telephone, a kitchen table,
- a customer, and you are in business. Provided you have a
- vision, belief in yourself, and the unique ability to turn
- your vision into a reality".
-
- NewBiz is a Brainstorming Program to assist you in dreaming
- up ideas to start your own business on a shoestring, based on
- the tangible and intangible assets that you already have.
- Since you'll be using your own "Brain and Sweat Capital", you
- will need little or no money from your bank to launch your
-
- Page 2 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- own business successfully.
-
- NewBiz is based on the premise that at least 80% of your
- tangible and intangible assets are not being fully used and
- are in fact more or less laying idle, resulting in a terrible
- waste of personal and business potential.
-
- In order to activate this potential, NewBiz employs a new
- Creativity Technique developed by CCI Ltd. called Random
- Asset Pairing (RAP) with which tangible and intangible assets
- that you have or can dispose of are randomly combined and
- presented in ever changing pairs to form the basis for the
- pleasant and easy generation of creative business ideas.

-
- ABOUT ASP
-
- ASP, the Association of Shareware Professionals(R), was
- formed in April 1987 to strengthen the future of Shareware
- (user supported software) as an alternative to traditional
- commercial software. Its members, all of whom are programmers
- subscribing to a code of ethics or non-programmers sincerely
- interested in the advancement of Shareware, are committed to
- the concept of shareware as a method of marketing. The ASP
- has adopted general standards that all ASP authors have
- agreed to follow, some of which are:
-
- Support standard:
- All ASP members' Shareware products must provide support
- (included in the purchase price) for a minimum of three
- months from the date of registration. Any money sent to an
- author to register an unsupported product shall be promptly
- returned with an explanation that the product in question is
- no longer supported. Known incompatibilities with other
- software or hardware and major or unusual program limitations
- are noted in the documentation that comes with the Shareware
- (evaluation) program.
-
- 'No crippling' standard:
- The principle behind Shareware is "try before you buy". ASP
- believes that users have a right to try a fully functioning
- Shareware program in their regular computing environment.
-
- Accordingly, ASP authors agree that:
-
- - the executable files (and/or items linked in with execut-
- ables) in the Shareware and Registered versions will
- essentially be the same.
- - all the program's features will be fully documented
- - registration encouragement procedures which in the judg-
- ment of the Board are either unreasonable or unprofessional
- are not allowed.
-
- Miscellaneous standards:
- The program has been thoroughly tested by the author and
-
- Page 3 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- should not be harmful to other files or hardware if used
- properly. Any discussion of the Shareware concept and of
- registration requirements is done in a professional and
- positive manner. If you are interested in ASP and in
- Shareware issues, you are invited to come to the SHAREWARE
- Forum on CompuServe, where many Shareware authors meet
- regularly.
-
-
-
- THE ASP OMBUDSMAN
-
- This program is produced by a member of the Association of
- Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that
- the Shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
- resolve a Shareware-related problem with an ASP member by
- contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The
- ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
- an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for
- members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545
- Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427, U.S.A. or send a
- message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536

- NewBiz is a copyrighted work, protected by U.S. and
- International Copyright laws. It is NOT free, freeware, or in
- the Public Domain. It is distributed as Shareware, which
- means that you may try it out 3 times at no cost. If you
- determine that it fits your needs and you wish to use it
- regularly, you must register. If you choose not to pay the
- registration fee, you must stop using NewBiz after these 3
- initial trials and remove it from your computer, but you may
- still keep copies of it and pass them on to others as
- outlined below.
-
- You may give individual copies of the unregistered version of
-
- Page 4 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- NewBiz to your friends and associates for evaluation purposes
- as described above. You must include all the files (described
- in the NEDWBIZ.LST file) that make up NewBiz without any
- modifications, preferably in the original archived ZIP file.
- You may upload NewBiz to the public section of a public BBS,
- but you may not place it in any user group or commercial
- library or distribute it for a fee or in any way sell copies
- of it without express, written permission from CCI Ltd.
-
- Under no circumstances may an unregistered version of NewBiz
- be used in a business, corporate, government, educational, or
- other institutional environment except for the purpose of
- evaluation on a single computer. You may not modify or
- disassemble NewBiz, nor distribute any modified or
- disassembled versions of NewBiz. NewBiz may not be included
- (bundled) with any other product for any reason whatsoever
- without prior written permission from CCI Ltd.

-
-
-
- REGISTRATION
-
- The purchase of a disk containing NewBiz from a Shareware
- distributor does NOT constitute registration. You are granted
- a limited license to make an evaluation copy for trial use on
- a private, non-commercial basis for the specific purpose of
- determining whether NewBiz is suitable for your purposes.
-
- After the 3 allowed trials, you should either register New-
- Biz, using the included NEWBIZ.REG file or the Registration
- Form at the end of this documentation, or discontinue use.
-
- The benefits of registration include:
-
- - receipt of your Personal Code, with which you can register
- NewBiz to your name, thus enabling you to bypass the
-
- Page 5 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- Registration Screen and eliminate Registration reminders
- in the program. NewBiz will "know" you then, so that you
- don't have to give it your name every time you use it.
-
- - FREE support by First Class Air Mail or via CompuServe for
- the first 90 days after payment, consisting of answering
- your questions and fixing any reproducible program errors
- that interfere with the intended use of NewBiz
-
- - a FREE NewBiz Update, to be sent to you at the earliest
- possible convenience (as soon as such an Update will have
- come out) by First Class Air Mail as a LETTER (no Customs
- interference, import duties or delay!)
-
- Site licenses with quantity discounts of up to 80% available.
- See the NBSITLIC.REG file for further information, or type
- NBSITLIC after the DOS prompt.
-
-
-
- INSTALLING NEWBIZ
-
- Although it is easy to install the NewBiz files into a
- Directory on your harddisk, using the NBINSTAL Utility will
- facilitate the installation process considerably. Just type
- NBINSTAL and all the necessary NewBiz files will be installed
- automatically into their own NewBiz Directory on the harddisk
- of your choice (C-G).
-
-
-
- RUNNING NEWBIZ
-
- Just enter the word NEWBIZ (in upper- or lowercase) and in a
- short moment you'll see the opening screen and you'll hear a
- whistle of admiration (yes, NewBiz is rightfully vain!),
- after which you'll be taken to the Main Menu.
-
- Basically, this Main Menu (to which you'll return every time
- you have worked through one of its items) reflects the
- structure of the Creative Thinking Process itself: Goal &
- Criteria Setting, Idea Generation, Evaluation and Final
- Results. You will also note that NewBiz is of course
- dedicated to you, the user!
-
- Context-sensitive help is available at all times and anywhere
- in the program at the pressing of F1, and you will get an
- index of all the help screens by pressing Ctrl/F1.
-
- Also, when you happen to make an operational error, you will
- be given clear and friendly explanations by Miss Take, your
- Personal Assistant. She will also take you to that part of
- NewBiz where you should be. You can silence Miss Take any
- time by pressing the Esc key.
-
- Moreover, icons indicate the thinking mode you are in at a
-
- Page 6 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- particular moment (the > icon standing for convergent, left
- brain thinking and the < for divergent, right brain
- thinking).
-
- You may select a menu item in either of the two following
- ways:
-
- - either move the highlight bar with the down- or up arrow
- key until you have arrived at the menu item you want to
- select and then press ENTER,
- - or press the first, highlighted letter of the menu item you
- want to select. This menu item will then be executed
- immediately, without your having to confirm your selection
- by pressing ENTER
-
- After a menu item has been executed, the highlight bar is
- automatically moved to the next menu item, so that pressing
- ENTER will suffice to execute that particular item.
-
- Submenu items can be selected in exactly the same ways.
-
-
-
- Load previous session
-
- Since many brainstorming sessions are ongoing projects, it is
- essential to be able to retrieve the data that were produced
- in previous sessions.
-
- What you will get when loading a previous session is:
- - the previously stated goal
- - the criteria and their respective weights
- - the tangible assets previously entered
- - the intangible assets previously entered
- - all the ideas that were previously produced
-
- Because of the very fact that you will be continuing a
- previous session and will, hopefully, produce even more
- ideas, you will not be getting data on those ideas that you
- had previously selected and evaluated. This will enable you
- to make a fresh start when selecting and evaluating ideas.
-
-
-
- Goal & criteria setting
-
- After selecting this Main Menu item, you will be taken to a
- submenu comprising the items Goal Setting, Criteria
- Setting/Rating and Back to Main Menu
-
-
- Goal Setting
-
- For easy operation's sake, NewBiz recognizes only one goal
- per session. This can be a standard goal, such as setting up
- your own business or improving the efficiency of your
-
- Page 7 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- existing business, or any other suitable goal you may wish to
- set.
-
- Please be concise and do not enter multiple goals. This will
- clarify your thinking and further an effective, goal-oriented
- use of NewBiz.
-
-
- Criteria Setting/Rating
-
- Criteria are yardsticks by which you measure/evaluate your
- business ideas, such as "Must be fun to do" or "Must yield a
- high income".
-
- Since not all criteria are equally important, you must give
- them a rating or "weight". These weights are in the 1-9
- range. If a particular criterion is very, very important to
- you, you give it a 9, and if it's not so terribly important
- to you, you may give it a 6 or so.
-
- NewBiz allows for the setting of a maximum of 5 criteria and
- their respective weights. These are entered one after the
- other.
-
- If you happen to enter an incorrect weight, such as a zero
- (0), you will get an error message, telling you that only
- weights in the 1-9 range are allowed.
-
- When trying to enter a correct weight after having
- acknowledged the error by pressing the ENTER key, you will
- notice that it is not possible to simply overwrite the
- incorrect number previously entered. The only way to remove
- that erroneous figure is to press the Delete key, thus
- clearing the way for entering the correct weight.
-
- Since NewBiz recognises the word STOP, you can terminate your
- entry of criteria by entering this word (written in either
- upper- or lowercase), or simply the letter S or s.
-
-
- Back to Main Menu
-
- This will take you back to the Main Menu and place the
- highlight bar onto the next Main Menu item, which you can
- then select by pressing the ENTER key.
-
-
-
- Assets input
-
- After selecting this Main Menu item, you will be taken to a
- submenu comprising the items Tangible Assets input,
- Intangible Assets input and Back to Main Menu
-
-
- Tangible Assets
-
- Page 8 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
-
- Tangible assets are those things and facilities that you can
- dispose of, such as a house, rooms, a car, a garage, or an
- answerphone. Please think of these in the broadest possible
- terms; even a kitchen table or a coffee machine is a tangible
- asset! Remember how many bestsellers were written on kitchen
- tables?
-
- People who are dear to you and who could help you by
- providing labor or good advice also belong to your tangible
- assets, so think of your partner, relatives, good friends,
- yes even your kids! And don't forget animals such as dogs,
- cats, cows or horses!
-
- Also, it is not necessary at all that you actually own such
- an asset. If you can dispose of it because you are borrowing
- or renting it, you may regard it as your own tangible asset.
-
- You can scroll through a list of tangible assets that you
- entered previously by entering the command LIST (in upper- or
- lowercase), or even faster and easier, the letter L or l. You
- can exit this list by pressing the Esc key.
-
- Please enter one tangible asset per line. In this program,
- there is room for 100 tangible assets.
-
- When terminating your entry of tangibles, you can use the
- word STOP (in upper- or lowercase), or even faster and
- easier, just the letter S or s.
-
-
- Intangible Assets
-
- Intangible assets are things such as your know-how, your
- abilities, personality, reputation and experience, all in the
- broadest sense. Don't be too modest; you have more
- intangibles than you think!
-
- You can scroll through a list of intangible assets that you
- entered previously by entering the command LIST (in upper- or
- lowercase), or even faster and easier, just the letter L or
- l. You can exit this list by pressing the Esc key.
-
- Please enter one intangible asset per line. In this program,
- there is room for 100 intangible assets.
-
- When terminating your entry of intangibles, you can use the
- word STOP (in upper- or lowercase), or even faster and
- easier, just the letter S or s.
-
-
- Back to Main Menu
-
- This will take you back to the Main Menu and place the
- highlight bar onto the next Main Menu item, which you can
- then select by pressing the ENTER key.
-
- Page 9 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
-
-
-
- Idea Generation
-
- The Idea Generation section of NewBiz really is the "heart"
- of the program, the only place where the Divergent Thinking
- Mode (as indicated by the < icon at the upper right hand
- corner of the screen) is used. Here you can be as "wild" and
- even "crazy" as you allow yourself to be.
-
- The upper box contains a randomly produced pair of the
- tangible and intangible assets that you supplied beforehand.
- By entering the word NEW (in upper- or lowercase), or even
- faster and easier, just the letter N or n, you can have the
- computer produce a new random asset pair every time your
- inspiration appears to be sagging.
-
- Here, you see the unique "Idea Thermometer" that gives you a
- constant visual indication of the number of ideas that you
- have produced. Moreover, there is a counter at the bottom of
- this "Idea Thermometer" that shows the exact number of ideas
- that have been entered by you. Finally, the program will
- regularly give you personal encouragement and emotional
- support (psychologists call this "reinforcement").
-
- You can scroll through a list of the ideas you previously
- generated by entering the command LIST (in upper- or
- lowercase), or even faster and easier, just the letter L or
- l. You can exit this list by pressing the Esc key.
-
- Please enter one idea per line. In this program, there is
- room for 200 ideas. You will be alerted when this maximum
- number of ideas has been reached.
-
- When terminating your entry of ideas, you can use the word
- STOP (in upper- or lowercase), or even faster and easier,
- just the letter S or s.
-
-
-
- Choose ideas to evaluate
-
- It would be virtually impossible to evaluate all the ideas
- that you have been generating, so it is absolutely necessary
- to restrict the number of ideas to be evaluated. Moreover,
- once you are in the Evaluation section, you will find it
- impossible to get out before you have completed the entire
- evaluation process (which can be very time consuming if you
- have chosen a large number of ideas to be evaluated!). So
- please select the most promising ideas only and limit their
- total number to about 10. This will make it easier and
- quicker for you to evaluate them. When using 5 criteria (the
- maximum number), you will then still have to enter no fewer
- than 50 ratings!
-
-
- Page 10 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- You can tag and/or untag the ideas to be evaluated by
- pressing the spacebar. Please press ENTER or the E-key to
- accept and confirm your selection of ideas for further
- processing. You will then automatically be returned to the
- next Main Menu item.
-
-
-
- Evaluation
-
- In this section, you will be presented with the ideas that
- you have marked for evaluation on the one hand, and the
- criteria that you have entered before on the other.
-
- The selected ideas will be presented one after the other.
- Both the total number of selected ideas and the number of the
- idea under consideration are displayed at the top of the
- entry window.
-
- The idea to be evaluated is displayed in its own box, and the
- criteria will appear one after the other below it.
-
- Please keep in mind that you must rate the idea concerned in
- terms of the criteria and that you are not supposed to rate
- the criteria themselves (you did that before, remember?).
-
- If you happen to enter an incorrect rating, such as a zero
- (0), you will get an error message, telling you that only
- ratings in the 1-9 range are allowed.
-
- When trying to enter a correct rating after having
- acknowledged the error by pressing the ENTER key, you will
- notice that it is not possible to simply overwrite the
- incorrect number previously entered. The only way to remove
- that erroneous figure is to press the Delete key, thus
- clearing the way for entering the correct rating.
-
- NewBiz's evaluation procedures are so thorough and
- quantitative that this program can double as a Decision
- Support System. Just enter the items to be evaluated as
- "ideas" in the AutoSuggest section and choose all of them in
- the "Choose ideas to evaluate" section of this program.
-
-
-
- Final results
-
- In this section, you'll get a beautiful display of the
- evaluated ideas in order of importance. There is no on-screen
- display of the weighted average ratings (you'll get those
- when making a printed or ASCII file report), but the top 3
- ideas are always displayed first. You can then scroll
- downward with the down arrow key or the PageDown key to view
- the lower rated ideas. Pressing the Esc key takes you back to
- the submenu.
-
-
- Page 11 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
-
-
- Save this session
-
- There is no submenu here. Instead, you will immediately be
- asked for the name you'd like to give to your *.NEB workfile
- (the .NEB extension will be supplied by NewBiz itself).
-
- This *.NEB file will contain:
- - the stated goal
- - the criteria and their respective weights
- - all tangible assets
- - all intangible assets
- - all ideas
- and will be the same workfile that you will load when
- selecting the "Load previous session" submenu item.
-
-
-
- Print report
-
- After selecting this Main Menu item, you will be taken to a
- submenu comprising the items ASCII file report, Printed
- report and Back to Main Menu.
-
-
- ASCII file report
-
- If you want to get a comprehensive, very detailed report that
- can be processed by any Word Processing program, selecting
- this submenu item would be the best thing to do.
-
- Any such *.ASC file will contain your:
- - stated goal
- - criteria and their respective weights
- - tangible assets
- - intangible assets
- - ideas
- - selected ideas and their ratings
-
- Please note that the idea ratings are "renormalized" weighted
- averages, and that your best idea always gets the highest
- possible rating, a 9. Your other ideas will be rated relative
- to your best idea.
-
- You will be asked to supply the name of this pure ASCII *.ASC
- file (the .ASC extension will be provided by NewBiz itself).
-
- Just in case something goes wrong with your printer, it is
- wise to always make such an *.ASC file as a kind of backup.
- This way, your entire work will be prevented from getting
- irretrievably lost (remember that the *.NEB workfile does not
- contain the selected ideas and their ratings).
-
-
- Printed report
-
- Page 12 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
-
- After you have selected this submenu item, NewBiz will print
- out a quick, concise report of your session. This report will
- contain your:
- - stated goal
- - criteria and their weights
- - selected ideas and their ratings
-
- Please note that the idea ratings are "renormalized" weighted
- averages, and that your best idea always gets the highest
- possible rating, a 9. Your other ideas will be rated relative
- to your best idea.
-
-
- Back to Main Menu
-
- This will take you back to the Main Menu and place the
- highlight bar onto the next Main Menu item, which you can
- then select by pressing the ENTER key.
-
-
-
- Quit NewBiz
-
- Before allowing you to quit NewBiz, the program will check
- whether you have saved your work and made at least one *.NEB
- workfile. Even if you have made such a file, NewBiz will make
- sure you really want to quit before returning you to DOS.

-
- CREDITS
-
- Although NewBiz is the work of Robert L.A. Trost, Idea
- Management Consultant and Management Trainer with the Centre
- for Commercial Innovation (CCI) Ltd. at Arnhem, Holland, it
- was a major international programming project.
-
- The unique, aesthetically pleasing "Sidemenu" system used in
- this program is the magnificent work of John Strong from
- Aloha, U.S.A., who also had the kindness of adapting his
- EZ-Windows Library to the special demands of NewBiz.
-
- The superb context-sensitive help system is the work of Sigi
- Stephan, the young programming wizard from Bonn, Germany, who
- made extra efforts to adapt his SuperQ Library to the special
- requirements posed by NewBiz.
-
- Several fascinating screen effects were taken from Tony
- Martin's QBScreen Library. Tony, who lives and works in
- Reston, U.S.A., also gave most valuable advice and support
- during NewBiz's development.
-
- Much support was also given by Rob W. Smetana from San
- Francisco, U.S.A., Mike Welch from Dallas, U.S.A., and
- Christy Gemmell from Leicester, England.

- The various special screens were designed with the aid of the
- masterful TheDraw screen designing program made by Ian Davis
- from Walnut Creek, U.S.A.

- Of course, we have exciting plans for the coming Upgrades of
- NewBiz. Specifically, we intend to add the following features
-
- Page 14 of NEWBIZ.DOC
-
- to this program:
-
- - a "bridge" to a Shareware free-form textbase, so that you
- will not only be able to store all your ideas, but also to
- retrieve them very quickly later on, using specific keywords
-
- - an "AutoSuggest" option, whereby NewBiz will produce
- tentative ideas for you. You will then be enabled to refine
- or modify them This option will be of particular interest
- and use to you if you are not yet familiar or at ease with
- creative thinking, or if you are regularly plagued by the
- "Monday blues" or the like.
-
- - features that you suggest after having used this version of
- NewBiz.
