	Time to market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In commerce, time to market (TTM) is the length of time it takes from a product being conceived until its being available for sale.
		A common assumption is that TTM matters most for first-of-a kind products, but actually the leader often has the luxury of time, while the clock is clearly running for the followers.
		Rather than reaching the market as soon as possible, delivering on schedule, for example to have the new product available for a trade show, can be more valuable.

	Time to Market Considerations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Time to market is the total amount of time it takes to develop and get a product into the marketplace.
		One good reason for having a fast time to market is to allow a company to start later on designs than the competition for a similar product.
		A quicker time to market usually means lower development costs.

	SSRN-Do Market Timing Hedge Funds Time the Market? by Bing Liang, Yong Chen
		Market timing skills exist mainly in a bear market, which may indicate that it is difficult for managers to outperform the already successful bull market but there may be some room for managers to improve in the bear market.
		Examination of the relation between timing ability and fund characteristics reveals that small and young funds may be more nimble in market timing.
		In summary, we show evidence of timing ability with market timing hedge funds, which is stronger than previously documented in mutual funds using monthly return information, and it is unlikely to be explained by pure randomness.

	Fetter, Capital, Interest, and Rent, Front Matter: Library of Economics and Liberty
		As for interest, it is entirely the result of time preference; in the case of a capital good, interest depends on first producing the capital good by combining labor and land and then on reaping the fruits of this combination at a later time.
		The market rate of interest on loans is, for Fetter, a reflection of a general rate of time preference in the economy, a capitalization process that discounts, in the present prices of durable goods and factors of production, the future uses of these goods.
		The consequence is a social rate of time preference, a "general, average rate of premium of present dollars over future dollars which has resulted from leveling out...a great part of the individual differences." Through arbitrage time-preference rates tend to be equalized throughout the time market.

	System Level Verification Slashes Time-to-Market
		This approach provides real time performance, but real silicon is costly to manufacture, often requiring several spins for verification purposes, and takes many weeks to deliver.
		Emulation speeds are typically on the order of ten thousand to a million times faster than event-driven simulation, verifying the functionality of designs with up to 20 million gates overnight.
		Although the time sequencing required to accomplish this level of multiplexing takes a toll on logic analyzer speed, the designer can manage this trade-off by selecting any number of signals (up to 64) to multiplex through each pin.

	Stage Gate Process Versus Time to Market
		Unfortunately, they also have several characteristics that lead to delay when time to market is paramount.
		If change in markets, customer desires, technology, or management direction is characteristic of your development projects, consider flexible development techniques rather than phased approaches.
		If time to market is relatively unimportant and you prefer a sequential process which ensures that all steps are followed, consider Cooper's Stage-Gate process.

		Recognize that even if a competitor of Microsoft were to come along with a bug-free document-editing package, they have no chance of stealing the market held by Microsoft Word.
		If formal methodists (researchers) truly want the ``fruits of their labor'' used in the mainstream, they need to: (1) understand that generally speaking, marketing concerns outweigh quality concerns to development organizations, and (2) find ways to lessen the costs of employing them.

	Integrating Product Design and Production: Designing for Time-to-Market
		The main factors influencing the production time are the production quantity, the available capacity of the production system and the selection of appropriate materials and processes for the various components of the product.
		To reduce a product’s manufacturing and assembly times, these aspects must be considered in the early design stage, when it can have the maximum impact on the product cost and time-to-market.
		Estimate the production time of the candidate design in the existing system and identify critical product and production system elements that negatively impact this time.

		This is significant in our market space because we are seeing that cost and other factors are driving the pharmaceutical companies that are equipped to market their products globally, bringing along a previously unseen slew of additional requirements and complexities in terms of regulatory compliance, distribution, storage, tracking, labelling, accountability and culture.
		The top three are: the ability to maintain compliance (thus reducing risk), accelerate time to market, and enable flexible manufacturing.
		The added benefits of product simplification, of time to market, of lower cost, are valued drivers of course, but the key driver that our customers identify, supported by all of our research is compliance.

	Time The Market
		Over 35 years of close study of investment markets as an investor, stockbroker and investment office manager, has shown me that stock price changes are rather very much dependent on the human emotions of greed and fear.
		During this time, I have refined a measurement technique which provides me with a picture of these cycles, clear enough to provide highly reliable market turn signals along with likely durations of each swing.
		An important point to note is that the signals indicate market direction and an approximation for the duration of the new move.
