Book Summary Describes Management Principles of Steve Jobs

EBSCO Publishing has just released a summary of The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs. In his book, business journalist Carmine Gallo describes the seven principles that form the philosophical core of master innovator, Steve Jobs. Although there is only one Steve Jobs, studying and following these principles can inspire creativity and the ability to “think different” in any profession or workplace.

The seven principles forming the philosophical core of the innovations of Steve Jobs include:

1.   Do What You Love. For effective innovation to occur, individuals need to pursue what they are most passionate about.
2.   Put a Dent in the Universe. True innovation should seek to improve the world.
3.   Kick Start Your Brain. To be innovative, individuals need to try new experiences to open their mind to unforeseen possibilities.
4.   Sell Dreams, Not Products. Advertising should show how the product can make life better, rather than overloading viewers with excessive flashy visuals and text.
5.   Say No to 1,000 Things. Simplicity is attractive to individuals of all ages, genders and nationalities. Remove anything detracting from a product or service’s purpose.
6.   Create Insanely Great Experiences. Retail stores and service locations should center around the needs and desires of the customer.
7.   Master the Message. Individuals should explain their product or service in three concise points to ensure that their audience will remember what was stated.

In addition to a 7-10 page summary of the book, each Business Book Summary includes a Key Concepts section that outlines the main points of the book, an About the Author section that informs readers of the author’s background as well as their additional written works, and a Features of the Book Section that explains the special features found within the book.

How to Make Big Money Safely With Options Investment

Options investment can be safe – if done right. Here's one way options pros make big money while slashing their risk. Don't worry that options investment is too complicated. A little coaching is all that’s needed. For now, focus on the benefits, not the how-to.

Make Money Whether Stock Prices Go Up or Down
Suppose a big price move is coming soon -
* Earnings announcement.
* FDA ruling on a drug proposal.
* Settlement of a patent infringement suit.
* Results of a major development project.
* Price break-out from a long-standing range.
* Anything else that raises price volatility.
Prices will make a big move soon, but which way? What to do?

Straddles
Buy an options straddle - a real safe money options investment. Here's what to do -
* Buy both a call and a put on the same stock.
* Use the same strike price and same expiration date for both the call and the put.
* Pick the strike price closest to the current stock price,
* So there's an equal chance of the call or the put going into the money.
Then make money if there's a big move up or a big move down. Lose money only if the price doesn't move much at all. So look for volatile stocks, industries, and markets.

Here's an example with a stock we'll call ZZZ -
* ZZZ trades at $50.10 a share. $50 is the nearest strike price.
* $50 ZZZ calls expiring in July, 2011, cost $1.94 a share. $50 ZZZ puts expiring in July, 2011, cost $1.73 a share.
* The options straddle would cost $3.67 a share - $1.94 for the call, plus $1.73 for the put.
* You make money if ZZZ goes at least $3.67 up or $3.67 down from $50.
* That's a 7.3% move in either direction - a small move over two months for a volatile stock.
Safety

The options investment is safer than just buying stock.
* The ZZZ straddle costs only $367 - your maximum possible loss.
* 100 shares of ZZZ stock instead of the straddle would have cost $5,010 - your maximum possible loss.

It's safer to risk $367 than $5,010. But what about profits?
If ZZZ rose to $60 a share -
* You would make about $600 on your straddle - a 163% percent profit!
* You would make about $1,000 on the stock - only a 20% profit.

If ZZZ fell to $40 a share -
* You would make about $600 on your straddle - a 163% profit!
* You would lose about $1,000 on the stock - a 20% loss.

The options investment - the straddle - and the stock both have about the same mathematical probability of reaching a profit or showing a loss.
The straddle risks less money for bigger percentage returns. It's the safer, smarter thing to do.

Finding Straddles
Finding good stocks for straddles means weighing -
* Market and business factors that might affect stock prices.
* The timing of those market and business factors.
* Volatility of potential stocks.
* The expiration date and cost of potential straddles.

California ETEC Receives Presidential "E" Award for Export Service

California ETEC was awarded the Presidential “E” Award for Export Service by U.S.  Department of Commerce Secretary Gary Locke at the Department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. on May 16th, 2011.  The “E” Awards are the highest recognition any U.S. entity may receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports.

The recruitment of international students to California and U.S. campuses has been our exclusive focus the past 5 years, and we are honored to receive the “ E” Award, said Mark Matsumoto, President and CEO.   Since 2006,  California ETEC has provided a platform for US education and training providers to recruit international students and delivery education programs throughout Asia.  California ETEC provides an array of free and cost-effective services for education providers to expand their international student recruitment or develop new international linkages. 

The export of education services generates more than $19 billion dollars in exports for the U.S.  and contributes nearly $ 3 billion dollars to local economy in California.   Moreover, revenues from international student tuition and overseas program delivery are increasingly counted upon to make up for shortfalls in public and private education funding in the United States. 

“Exports are a key driver of America’s economic recovery,” said Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke.  “President Obama’s National Export Initiative(NEI), which aims to double U.S. exports by 2015 in support of several million American jobs, is a robust, forward-looking trade agenda with an emphasis on domestic job growth.  California ETEC is being honored for making significant contributions toward fulfilling that agenda. “

A business client of the Department’s U.S. Commercial Service,  California ETEC has benefitted from business matchmaking services to greatly expand its export sales.   California ETEC demonstrated a substantial increase in the volume of exports over a four-year period,  a major criteria for the award.
