Entrepreneurship

http://www.inc.com/30under30/2008/prolist.html

This is a link to to the top 30 entrepreneurs under 30. Choose three of them and give me a summary of their business and how they got their start. Then tell me what characteristic do you think they posses that allows them to be successful.

Advertising
Do a little research (at least three sources) on how alcohol and tobacco advertising has changed in the last 30 or so years. What regulations have changed what products can be advertised on different media. Pictures will ad to your discussion. You should EASILY be able to get 3/4 of a page of information. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. With three required sources, you will need to put your thoughts in your own words. Be descriptive and complete...but most of all have fun with this interesting topic.

Sales and Marketing
Read the attached article on Buzz Marketing.http://www.graphicdefine.org/issue1/buzzmarketingThis concept has been generating alot of "buzz" in the marketing industry. Summarize the article making sure you define buzz marketing. Why is it important?Do you believe buzz marketing can work? How?Give an example of specifically how you could create "buzz" about the product you are designing for your product development project. I need at least a solid 1/2 page.
