Many business owners constantly seek new ways to save money and increase profits. One such money-saving measure is to use readability formulas on all text and materials. Readability formulas let you know if your text is readable by your target audience (your customers, suppliers, employees, etc). Studies show that readable text matched to the grade-level of your readers can increase their interest and improve your results to get your message across. Here’s how:

Bill Gates Steps Down: The End of an Era

How the Microsoft co-founder changed computing, changed business and changed our lives.

John D. Rockefeller. Henry Ford. Andrew Carnegie. Bill Gates.

Few today would dispute that Gates is on a par with the great business figures of history. His genius melds deep technical knowledge, strategic business thinking and the force of personality that only a few figures have ever commanded--and to which none of his peers has come close.

Gates remains chairman of Microsoft, but on June 27 he steps down from day-to-day activities at the company--a software empire, really, with an estimated 84,000 employees and $68 billion in annual revenue. Moving forward, Gates will spend the bulk of his time on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Colleges Tap Students
Where They Mingle:

Many M.B.A programs are setting up their own social-networking sites and blogs, making it easy for prospective applicants to contact both current students and graduates. The Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University, for example, has set up blogs, discussion boards and a searchable database where prospective students can locate alumni with similar job experience and undergraduate degrees. Saïd Business School at Oxford University has a site that links blogs about university life that are run by students at the request of the school, and private blogs of other students; the business school also set up its own YouTube.com channel last year, where it broadcasts in-depth interviews with alumni, promotional videos and videos made independently by its students.

The National University of Singapore's Business School has created Web site joinnusmba.ning.com to allow future and current students to mingle online,

A synthesis of literature shows that there are mainly 9 building blocks to help us describe a business model:

The value proposition of what is offered to the market;
The target customer segments addressed by the value proposition;
The communication and distribution channels to reach customers and offer the value proposition;
The relationships established with customers;
The core capabilities needed to make the business model possible;
The configuration of activities to implement the business model;
The partners and their motivations of coming together to make a business model happen;
The revenue streams generated by the business model constituting the revenue model;
The cost structure resulting of the business model.

Trust Is The Business Word For Love

I heard a great line recently. Michael Price - one of the senior guys at Evercore and a long time friend (we were on the PeoplePC board together) was interviewed. Buried in the middle of a bunch of questions was a gem when the interviewer asked Michael about trust. The following popped out:

"Trust is the business word for love."

Perfect.

Student Businesses

Putting Service to Work

Princeton University

Student Agencies

Student-run businesses at Princeton date back to the early 1900s when some undergraduates needed certain services such as laundry and newspaper delivery, and other undergrads needed to work for money to pay for their education. Since then, the student agencies have evolved. They're no longer part of the financial aid services—and there are now 19 of them.

The agencies provide all sorts of services including food delivery, souvenirs, moving and storage, and dorm furnishings. Michael Cacchio, a manager of the food delivery agency Tiger Foods, says he really understood responsibility when he realized his management and success affected the restaurant owners who participated in the business he runs.
