In a recent blog post, he called this shift in focus "a once-every-twenty-years kind of change."

    Down payments vary depending on the type of loan you take out to make the acquisition. Having a clear idea of what you can realistically afford will narrow down your search for a viable business to acquire.

    What is your company worth? The balance sheet of assets probably doesn't tell the entire story when you consider the potential for your company to generate serious revenue as it grows and thrives. The value of your startup might be even higher when you consider how it can be leveraged in conjunction with the resources and reach of a larger buying company. For that reason, determining what price or payment arrangement is "fair" can be tricky for entrepreneurs to determine.

    "When deciding whether Google should spend millions or even billions of dollars in acquiring a new company, its chief executive, Larry Page, asks whether the acquisition passes the toothbrush test: Is it something you will use once or twice a day, and does it make your life better?" reports David Gelles of The New York Times. "The esoteric criterion shuns traditional measures of valuing a company like earnings, discounted cash flow or even sales."

    Blogging may seem time consuming, perhaps more than it's actually worth. That's why it can become a team effort: While there's a high premium placed on founders' blogs, input from your finance, tech and marketing leaders can also provide a good window into how your company operates and approaches its work.

    It's a scene that could go comically awry in a movie. Just as showtime nears, your small shop proves it's not ready for primetime. Employees roll into the office late and disheveled, none of the presentation technology works and your well-rehearsed elevator pitch escapes you at the last minute. Mergers and acquisitions are full of moments that seem like defining turning points in the negotiation process, when you can either win over or put off your potential buyer.

    "Think beyond just the big tech names," writes Krantz. "Investors have been piling into the shares of the mega tech names for years…but now the game is shifting smaller. The recent tech deals have centered around companies with an average market value of roughly $1 billion…The greatest opportunities for tech investors lie with the smaller large companies and the larger mid-caps."

    Airbnb has been a leader in lodging for travelers. Rather than paying for the service and amenities of hotels, consumers have listed and rented their own apartments for out-of-towners to enjoy. This week, it was announced that the company has acquired Vamo, a service that helps in the process of booking trips with stops in multiple cities. This adds another level of convenience to the Airbnb service offerings, which primarily focus on listing and discovering vacancies.

At present, IBM technology is capable of analyzing large volumes of data and interprets complex questions stated in natural language. As that technology evolves, more breakthroughs may be in store for health care providers who depend on accurate, comprehensive assessments.
