With his “Game Freak” colleagues, Tajiri had also created his first video game, Quinty, which was published by Namco. But in 1991, Tajiri discovered something that he thought was revolutionary: the Game Boy. When he saw two boys playing a game together, connecting their Game Boys by a link cable, Tajiri immediately began to think of the possibilities. “I saw Game Boy when it was first released,” says Tajiri. “The idea for Pokémon clicked in my mind.

What is the Value in your Supply Chain A PI Q and A
Member Question: What is the difference between Supply Chain and Value Chain? My Response: To begin, the reference to supply or “value” chain is a misnomer in that it implies a sequential architecture. This is a term that is on its way out as an organization’s supply “practice” is actually centered on the synchronization of diverse stakeholders sometimes spanning multiple supply networks. This is an important distinction given the impact that real-world synchronization has on theories such as value chains. That said the concept of the value chain was first introduced by Michael Porter in 1985 in his book, Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance.

The Art of Listening-what the 3% Leaders do
We've all done it. Your best friend rings you up and says "Hi Donal I've just come up with this really cool business idea that I think is going to make me a fortune. As he proceeds to tell his tale are you listening intently on the other end until he is finished and maybe waiting for your opinion or advice?.Of course not.

Stay open to new people and new ideas.

Follow the Leader, a Web Design Philosophy
In advertising there are a few principles which translate well to web design. Principles such as product placement, putting a product close to an industry leader etc. The Principle that will be gone over today is following the leader where the idea is to have a very similar name to a well known website and have the same kind of content. Following the leader is having the same design philosophy, implementation and a product. While the finished product should have several features to make it unique, it should not be all together different. Take search engines as an example. The leader is obvious, Google, who uses a very simple set up.

She wanted the finished proposal for a major, big, gargantuan business deal finished before the sun set that day, right after the meeting. Everyone took a breath and looked down at the table. They all knew it was impossible. The stats had not been delivered yet and there was no way it could be done and done right by early evening, even by late that night.
