Xerox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After reading the Xerox case study, I have to agree that running a company is about leveraging talent to produce products and services. Whether a company has the best talented employees, physical resources or financial capital, it actually depends on how they take the resources that are given to them, also how they use them. In the case study, the company did not suffer from a shortage of talent or technological innovation. Rather, it experienced problems with leverage. The politics in the company was also very corrupt and dysfunctional. This lead the company on a unsuccessful spiral even though Thoman was trying his best to address the problems.I believe that in order for a company to succeed, the company must know how to function properly. The person in charge must first assign the correct jobs for the right people in order for things to function smoothly. This can be accomplished by hiring the right people. By hiring people with talent and experience in each section of the job, the company will most likely run well because these professionals know what they are doing. In the end, with everyone doing their part, products and services will definitely be valued by the marketplace.

2 venture ideas
Basketball Coach
1. To coach students of any age and teach them the fundamentals of the game. That includes how to pass, dribble, shoot, and importantly teach them about teamwork. I will teach them in my backyard because my yard is very big and also the reason is because I have a basketball hoop.
2. This is a good idea because many people like to do play sports when they have nothing better to do not only becuase it also helps you stay in shape, it also may help you stay out of trouble because you are being active and keeping yourself from having too much time. Also coaching would be a good idea because it seems fun and i have learned a lot from my previous coaches so I think it is my time to pass down the knowledge to those others who would like to use it success for them later in the futre. The start up cost would be very low because I already own a basketball hoop and have many basketballs. I would just be making income from the students who I would be teaching.
Blackberry Repair Man
1. To fix all the blackberrys whenever they break or go wrong. Also change the housing and update them whenever there are new updates for the phones. The target market again would be whomever needs their blackberrys fixed. I will be able to do this because I ahe many blackberrys and know how they work and etc.
2. This is a good idea becuase i will fully profit off it also because many Blackberrys go down and some people just go and buy new ones i could save them so much money and time becuase I will come to you and fix your phone. The startup cost would be very low cause i have many blackberrys parts all the software i need to fix the phones and update them as will. Also the tools to take the phones apart so I can change the housing.
