Top 5 Reasons Business Execs Fail to Work Effectively with Product and Engineering Execs
All too often, technology companies fail to find the right balance within their business executives. When a business exec is too technical, she may not have the aggressiveness or “street smarts” to help a young company succeed. If a business exec isn’t technical enough, he might swim out of his depth and make wrong decisions about key technology or product hires. You may have heard it referred to (unkindly) as the Mechanic Dilemma: Business execs, like car owners, rarely hav...

Your Social Identity. Remember to be the Master of your own Domain.
If you are active in the world of social media, you owe it to yourself to create and maintain a social identity that you can use across multiple networks and multiple platforms.

Why The MMORPG Subscription-Based Business Model Is Broken
Famed game developer and analyst Scott Jennings recently announced on his blog that he’s quit online game publishing giant NCSoft to join John Galt Games. His new home is the small casual game startup developing Web Wars, a sci-fi game played via a browser plug-in, where web sites themselves are territories to fight over.
