. Recruiting and Retaining Key Sponsors Sponsorship is important for funding the organization of the business plan competition, forfunding prizes to encourage participation, and for raising the profile of the Competition andconferring greater credibility to it. Prizes are a necessary incentive since participation in thecompetition, even by students, is optional. While recruiting sponsors for a newly institutedcompetition has to be based on promise, retaining them is based on performance. The most likely sponsors are alumni who have a sense of affiliation and loyalty to their almamater. The SVBPC’s principal sponsor in 2004 was Wanda Ginner, a Bay Area resident whowas a student at the College of Business in the 1960’s. She was so impressed with the

utilizing the visual abstractions is in reducing thecognitive load and reliance on prior knowledge to understand the circuit ’s operation. A validargument could be made that this positive contribution is enough to justify the use of these typesof visual aids.

The templates ( w aj ' s ) of nodes in the categoryrepresentation layer of Fuzzy ARTMAP can be represented as hyperrectangles (rectangles in 2-D). The meaning of this hyperrectangle is that it encloses within each boundaries all the inputpatterns that chose this node (template) as their representative node (template) and were encodedby it (see Figure 2). This hyperrectangle starts from its trivial size of 0, corresponding to the casewhere it has encoded a single pattern and it grows as more patterns are

Potency was found to be the strongest predictor of all characteristics and related toall three effectiveness criteria, thus supporting those who assert that it is one of the mostimportant characteristics of a work team [12].
