...lighted warehouse jutting into the San Francisco Bay, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger introduced something they had been working on for weeks: a photo-sharing iPhone application called Instagram. What happened next was crazier than they could have imagined. In a matter of hours, thousands downloaded it. The computer systems handling the photos kept crashing. Neither of them knew what to do. "Who's, like, the smartest person I know who I can call up?" Mr. Systrom remembered thinking. He scrolled through his phone and found his man: Adam D'Angelo, a former chief technology officer at Facebook. They had met at a party seven years earlier, over beers in red plastic cups, at the Sigma Nu fraternity at Stanford University. That night in October 2010, Mr. D'Angelo became Instagram's lifeline. "Adam spent like 30 minutes on the phone with us," Mr. Systrom recalled, "walking us through the basic things we needed to do to get back up." Mr. Systrom, now 29, offered this as a parable for the roomful of would-be entrepreneurs who came to hear him talk at Stanford last spring: in the intensely competitive start-up scene here, success is as much about who you know as what you know. "Make sure to spend some time after the talk getting to know the people around you," he told his audience. Those people, he might have added, might one day shape your destiny. They might one day press money into your palm. They might nudge you to quit your day job and gamble on a vague idea. This week, barely...

...In 2010, Research In Motion (RIM) was a leader in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. Founded by Canadian Businessman Mike Lazardis, born in Ontario, RIM quickly became a chief innovator and manufacturer within this sector. RIM was founded by Mr. Lazardis in 1984, after he dropped out of University two months before graduation (McGraw-Hill 2010). In the financial year of 2009, RIM generated revenues of approximately US$11 billion (McGraw-Hill 2010). Since 2010, numerous changes took place at RIM in order to try and return to being the dominant leader in their market. There have been two CEO changes as firstly Thorsten Heins replaced then joint CEOs Mike Lazardis and Jim Balsillie in January 2012, only to be replaced himself less than two years later by John Chen in November 2013 (Blackberry Press November 2013). Senior positions such as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer as also seen changes during this time. This clearly shows the sign of an underperforming or even a declining business that needs such drastic changes to try and grow or even to stop the decline. RIM also decided to change its trading name from Research in Motion to Blackberry in January 2013 by then CEO Thorsten Heins (Blackberry Press January 2013). This was a clear ploy in trying to maximize the launch of their new Blackberry 10 product. The amount of employees once employed by Blackberry as also diminished due to the high amount of loss the company was earning....

...Owen’s Precision Machining Credit Analysis Xiaoyun Hu * Business and Strategy OPM is a fifteen-person machine shop that makes customized metal parts and integrated subassemblies for a variety of end uses. Found in 1986, it now locates on the first floor of a converted textile factory next to the Merrimack River in Lawrence, MA. The A/P term of OPM is net of 30. And here is the 5-forces analysis: * The power of suppliers: Strong Most of the raw materials OPM needs are differentiated, rare and hard to source. They need long lead times and large minimum order quantities. And to form competitive advantage, OPM needs to store a lot. In order to mill good products, OPM needs specific materials that can’t be substituted. As a result, the power of suppliers turns out to be strong. * The power of buyers: Strong OPM’s competitive advantage mainly lies in the lead times so that they can provide enough volumes according to buyers’ needs. This indicates that OPM’s products are undifferentiated and buyers believe that they can always find other shops very quickly. * Threat of new entrants: Medium To initiate a business in customized subassemblies area, one doesn’t need much capital expenditure to invest. OPM at first was a single-owner small operator. And if the customers want to switch to another shop, they won’t bear much additional costs. The demand-side benefits of scale are also not apparent in the industry. However, the company can achieve supply side economies...
