Steve Jobs died last week at the age of 56, after a very long battle with cancer. His death was mourned by millions of people worldwide. He was a businessman, but he was the “Michael Jackson” of businessmen. His Apple products were like songs that touched people’s hearts and changed their lives.
Jobs was not an inventor, but he was an innovator and a man with a great vision. He took technology that others had invented and designed products that had great style and were easy for people to use. And he made Apple products seem cool! The iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad were always the coolest products on the market.
Steve Jobs was also a good example of “The American Dream.” He came from humble beginnings. He had been adopted as a child by a working class family in California. He didn’t have a good education. Instead, he dropped out of college early on and started Apple in his garage. But his success was soon followed by adversity.
Jobs was fired as CEO of the company in 1985, but that setback did not stop him. Jobs built a new computer company and also started Pixar which produced the hit movies Toy Story and Finding Nemo. Later, when Apple was struggling, Jobs was brought back to save the company—and he did it!
Jobs is a great role model for young people. He had a dream and he took chances (even foolish chances, he admitted) to achieve that dream. He suffered setbacks in business and in his health, but he refused to let those setbacks dampen his desire of achieving his dream. In the end, he left some inspirational words for young innovators: “Stay hungry, stay foolish!”
从18世纪30年代康替龙提出企业家概念以后的200年间，经萨伊到马歇尔，历经企业家理论(entrepreneur theory)早期发展的三个阶段。熊彼特对职业企业家范畴和功能的界定，为把企业家理论纳入现代企业理论奠定了理论前提。现代企业理论的最新发展，特别是契约理论、激励理论的推进几乎都是以企业家理论为出发点，企业家的激励约束问题与企业的性质和类型、企业的治理结构、企业的资本结构等这些现代企业理论所考察的基本问题密切相关，现代企业家理论已成为现代企业理论的重要组成部分。
Sir David Brown (10 May 1904 - 3 September 1993) was an English entrepreneur, managing director of his family firm David Brown Limited and one time owner of shipbuilders Vosper Thornycroft.
Early life and David Brown Ltd.
Brown was born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. After attending Rossall School he started work as an apprentice in the family business, David Brown Gear Company Ltd. He became managing director in 1931, on his uncle Percy's death. In 1934 the company built a new factory on a site at Meltham, on the south side of Huddersfield. Brown, who also owned a farm, started building tractors with Harry Ferguson there in 1939, but they disagreed over design details, which led David Brown to design his own version. During the Second World War his new heavier tractor, called the David Brown VAK1, was produced, with over 7,700 units eventually sold, making Brown into a wealthy man. Harry Ferguson went to America and did a deal with Henry Ford to incorporate his system in the Fordson N series, before setting up Ferguson tractors. In 1972, the David Brown tractor interests were sold to Tenneco International (Inc.), and were rebadged as Case.
Aston Martin
In 1947, Brown saw a classified advertisement in The Times, offering for sale a High Class Motor Business. Brown acquired Aston Martin for £20,500 and, in the following year, Lagonda for £52,500, followed by the coachbuilder Tickford in 1955. He subsequently concentrated all the Aston Martin manufacturing at the Tickford premises in Newport Pagnell.
The legendary 'DB' series of Aston Martin cars, including the Atom, the DB2, the DB3, the DB4, the DB5 (famously driven by fictional character James Bond), the DB6, and the DB7 - Aston's most successful model yet - were named after Brown using his initials. Ironically, while at the helm of Aston Martin, he actually used a rival product, a Jaguar XJ Series I, as personal transport. Aston Martin was sold off in the 1970s when the company was in financial difficulties.
Personal life
He was a natural adventurer who owned race horses, played polo, raced cars and motorcycles, and was a qualified pilot. He was knighted in 1968.
He married three times, to Daisy Muriel Firth in 1926, Marjorie Deans (his secretary) in 1955 and to Paula Benton Stone in 1980. He had two children, David and Angela, both of whom entered the family business. Angela married George Abecassis the racing driver. Sir David Brown died in September 1993 in Monte Carlo, 8 years before David Brown Ltd was acquired by Textron Inc.

Steve Wynn
Stephen Alan Wynn (b. January 27, 1942, New Haven, Connecticut) is an American casino resort/real-estate developer who has been credited with spearheading the dramatic resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas Strip in the 1990s. His companies refurbished or built some of the most currently widely recognized resorts in Las Vegas such as the Golden Nugget, The Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio, Wynn, and Encore.
As of 2009, Wynn is the 468th richest man in the world (down from 277th) with a net worth of $1.5 billion (down from $3.9 billion).[1] He made his debut in the Forbes 400 at #377 with a net worth of $650 million in September 2003, but was reported to be worth $1.1 billion only six months later in Forbes' list of world billionaires published in March 2004.
Early life, Frontier, and the Golden Nugget
Steven Alan Weinberg (his father, Michael, changed the family surname when Wynn was six months old) was raised in Utica, New York, and graduated from The Manlius School, a private boys' school east of Syracuse, New York, in 1959. Steve Wynn studied cultural anthropology and English literature at the University of Pennsylvania where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.
Wynn's father, Michael Weinberg (later Michael Wynn), ran a string of bingo parlors in eastern United States. In 1946, he had changed his name to "Wynn" presumably as a marketing strategy and a move to trump anti-semitism. In 1963, his father died of complications from open heart surgery in Minneapolis, leaving $350,000 of gaming debts, shortly before Wynn graduated from Penn with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature.
Steve Wynn took over running the family's bingo operation in Maryland. He did well enough at it to accumulate the money to buy a small stake in the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, where he and Elaine moved in 1967. Between 1968 and 1972 Wynn also owned a wine and liquor importing company. He managed to parlay his profits from a land deal in 1971 (the deal involved Howard Hughes and Caesars Palace) into a controlling interest in the landmark downtown casino, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas[2] (he also owned The Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, New Jersey). Wynn renovated, revamped and expanded the Golden Nugget from a gambling hall to a resort hotel and casino with enormous success, in the process attracting a new upscale clientele to downtown Las Vegas.
The Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio
Wynn had previously acquired interests in various existing casinos. His first major Strip casino, The Mirage, which opened in 1989, set a new standard for size and lavishness, with construction costs to match. The Mirage featured an indoor forest and an outdoor "volcano", and with high-quality room appointments and an emphasis on service, The Mirage was another great success. The Mirage was the first project in which he was involved in the design and construction of a casino. The $630 million cost to build The Mirage was financed largely with junk bonds issued by Michael Milken. The Mirage was considered a risky venture by the standards then prevailing in Las Vegas because of its high cost and emphasis on luxury. However, it proved to be enormously successful and made Wynn a major part of Las Vegas history.
Wynn's next project was Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. It opened in 1993 at a cost of $450 million. With its live pirate show and location next to the Mirage, Treasure Island was another success for Wynn. The Cirque du Soleil show at the Treasure Island was the first permanent Cirque de Soleil show in Las Vegas.
Wynn expanded further on his concept of the luxury casino with Bellagio, a $1.6 billion resort, including an artificial lake, indoor conservatory, a museum-quality art gallery and branches of high-end boutiques and restaurants from Paris, San Francisco and New York City. The architect was the famous American Jon Jerde of The Jerde Partnerships. When built, Bellagio was the most expensive hotel in the world. The Bellagio is credited with starting a new spree of luxurious developments in Las Vegas. Among these developments include The Venetian, Mandalay Bay, and Paris Las Vegas.
Wynn Las Vegas to Wynn Macau to present and Encore
Mirage Resorts was sold to MGM Grand Inc. for $6.6 billion ($21 a share) in June 2000 to form MGM Mirage. Five weeks before the deal was closed (April 27, 2000) Steve Wynn purchased the Desert Inn for $270 million. He closed the Inn in only 18 weeks, and with the money he made on that deal, and with his ability to secure ever-greater financing, Steve Wynn took Wynn Resorts Limited public in 2002. Wynn became a billionaire in 2004, when his net worth doubled to $1.3 billion.[3] On April 28, 2005 he opened his most expensive resort to that date, the Wynn Las Vegas, on the site of the former Desert Inn.
Wynn successfully bid for one of three gaming concessions that were opened for tender in Macau, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, which has a long history of gaming and is the largest gaming market in the world, having surpassed Las Vegas in 2006.[4] This property, known as Wynn Macau, opened on 5 September 2006.
In the summer of 2008, hiring began for Encore Las Vegas, the newest in Steve Wynn's collection of resorts (the tower of Encore is modeled after the Wynn Las Vegas tower, and in fact, they share the same "property" though they are separate hotels). Wynn hired 3500 employees for this property. Encore opened on December 22, 2008.
Wynn Encore Macau is scheduled to open in 2010.
The Wynn Art Collection
Wynn owns an extensive art collection including paintings by Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Édouard Manet, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, and Johannes Vermeer (although the authenticity of the "Vermeer" remains in dispute).[5] Most recently he spent a record price for a painting by J. M. W. Turner, $35.8 million for the Giudecca, La Donna Della Salute and San Giorgio.
Many of the collection's pieces were on display at the Bellagio. The collection was on display at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno while the Wynn Las Vegas was being constructed and was installed in the resort shortly before it was opened. The Wynn Las Vegas gallery, which had charged an entrance fee, closed shortly after the start of 2006. The artwork from the former gallery is now scattered around the resort. Although the artwork is owned personally by Wynn, Wynn Resorts pays an annual lease of $1. As part of the lease agreement, insurance and security is the responsibility of the company.
The centerpiece of the collection is Le Rêve, the Picasso portrait that was the working name of the resort project. Wynn purchased the painting in 1997 for $48.4 million. In 2006 he reportedly was to sell it to Steven A. Cohen for $139 million, which would at that time have been the highest price paid for any piece of art. However, he put his elbow through the canvas while showing the painting to a group of reporter friends to which he had just revealed the alleged sale. This canceled the sale, and after a $90,000 repair, the painting was estimated to be worth $85 million. Wynn sued his insurance company over the $54 million difference with the virtual selling price, possibly exceeding his own buying price. The case was settled out of court in April 2007
Personal life
Steve Wynn, aged 21, married Elaine Farrell Pascal in 1963. They first met when Wynn's father Mike and Elaine's father were joking around about both their kids meeting and going on a date. That joke came true and they met and fell in love. Wynn and Elaine were college sweethearts and married in 1963, divorced in 1986, and married a second time in 1991.[10] Elaine Wynn is a director of the company's board. Divorce papers were filed most recently on March 5, 2009, and sealed by a judge the same day.
Wynn once said he bought the Desert Inn casino, the site of his Wynn Las Vegas, as a birthday gift for his wife.[11].
They have two daughters, Kevyn and Gillian. Kevyn was kidnapped in 1993[12] and Wynn paid $1.45 million in ransom for her safe return. The kidnappers were apprehended when one attempted to buy a Ferrari in Newport Beach, California, with cash. Kevyn was found unharmed several hours later.
Steve Wynn also suffers from the degenerative eye disease retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which cripples night vision and reduces visual ability in the periphery until the sufferer essentially has "tunnel vision." Many people with RP eventually become legally blind.
3 Scott Miller
Scott Miller (b. 1961 in Florida[1]) is an American entrepreneur best known for founding Apogee Software, Ltd. (dba 3D Realms Entertainment) in 1987.
He started as game programmer, but now handles primary business duties of the company, as well as producing and co-designing all third-party games associated with the company, including Wolfenstein 3D, Raptor, Terminal Velocity, Max Payne and Prey.
Miller also authors one of the industry's leading blogs, www.GameMatters.com, where his views show him to be a strong proponent of studio independence, and of studios and publishers creating original brands rather than licencing brands from other media sources.
Miller is noted in the industry for his integration of marketing and gameplay hooks within a game's central concept and design. He pioneered the shareware method of game distribution where one episode of a game is released freely through digital distribution, and the follow-up episodes are sold through the company. In effect, the free episode is the carrot-on-a-stick; an advertisement to purchase the remaining, commercial episodes. Kingdom of Kroz, in 1987, was the first game to use this method, which Miller refers to as the "Apogee Model."
Upon success with this model with the seven Kroz episodes, Miller left his full-time job in mid-1990 and devoted full efforts into growing Apogee. As a side note, it was at this time that Miller contacted key members at Softdisk (a monthly software magazine delivered on floppy disks to subscribers) who later formed id Software, and convinced them to make Commander Keen as a shareware game to be released through Apogee, which proved to be an outstanding success, and led id Software to become an independent studio.
Miller was also a professional industry writer in the '80s, having co-authored a book on beating video games, Shootout: Zap the Video Games, and writing a weekly column for The Dallas Morning News for four years ('82-'85), titled "Video Vision", and later changed to "Computer Fun". He's also written for COMPUTE!'s PC & PCjr and other now defunct national game industry magazines.
Miller was later instrumental in the formation of Gathering of Developers in 1998, a new publisher created with the aid of several leading game studios, and later sold to Take-Two Interactive. He later helped found the Radar Group.

Peter Jones
Peter Jones, CBE (born 18 March 1966) is a British businessman with interests in mobile telecommunications, television, media, leisure, and property. He became a television celebrity through his appearances on the British BBC 2 television show Dragons' Den and on his American television show American Inventor, where he is known for his often harsh judgments on the businesses. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours
Peter Jones attended Desborough School, Maidenhead and subsequently The Windsor Boys' School where he studied A-Levels in Economics, Biology and Geography.
A keen tennis player as a teenager, he earned money by giving tennis lessons and set up his own tennis academy at the age of 16.
His second venture was a computer business where he manufactured PCs under his own brand. In his mid twenties, he opened a cocktail bar in Windsor based on the Tom Cruise film Cocktail. However, he lost £200,000 after deciding to sell it. In his late twenties he lost his computer business due to customers failing to pay him. He was forced to give up his three-bedroom home in Bray, his BMW and Porsche cars and to move back in with his parents.[2] He then joined Siemens Nixdorf, and became head of the PC Business in the UK in the same year at only 28, the youngest ever head of a business unit.
After working for Siemens Nixdorf he worked in the telecommunications market for 12 months and made enough money to set-up his next venture Phones International Group in April 1998. He started humbly by sleeping on the office floor but business soon grew. The firm experienced explosive growth with revenue totalling £14 million by the end of the first year and £44 million by the end of the second. The company was one of the fastest growing businesses in Europe. Group turnover for 2005/2006 was in excess of £150 million. The group counts every leading brand in the wireless communications industry among its business partners, whether as a supplier, customer or collaborator.
A self-confessed car freak, his first car was an Alfa Romeo Alfasud, while his business car is presently a Maybach 57.[2]
He is known for his height and came 4th in the "Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car" on the motoring programme, Top Gear, and was told on air by Jeremy Clarkson that if he lost a bit of weight (he weighs 17 stone (107.8 kilograms (238 lb)) and is 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m) tall) he would be the fastest celebrity ever to have appeared on the show.
On 12 August 2008 he was challenged by The Sun newspaper to sit a 90 minute A-Level examination in Business Studies.[6] He accepted the challenge and got an 'A' grade.
