Dachis Group Announces Publication of Social Business by Design - msnbc.com

AUSTIN, TX — Dachis Group, the world's leading social software and solutions firm, today announced the publication of Social Business by Design (Jossey-Bass/Wiley Hardcover; May 2012; $29.99; ISBN: 978-1-1182-7321-0), the definitive management book on how to rethink the modern organization in the social media era.

In Social Business by Design, authors and Dachis Group executives, Dion Hinchcliffe and Peter Kim explore how social, cultural, and technology trends have transformed the business environment and how companies can respond with strategy and tactics to benefit from these changes. Dachis Group Founder, President and CEO Jeff Dachis contributed the book's foreword and its content draws on the extensive research and expertise of Dachis Group, which has helped numerous Fortune 500 clients plan, build, and activate effective Social Business solutions.

Written as both a strategic overview and a hands-on resource, Social Business by Design shows how to formulate and implement a Social Business strategy and maximize its impact, with in-depth analysis of the mechanisms, applications, and advantages of Social Business topics including social media marketing, social product development, crowdsourcing, social supply chains, social customer relationship management, and more. These topics are illustrated with examples from high-profile companies including SAP, Procter & Gamble, MillerCoors, Bloomberg, HBO, Ford, and IBM who have implemented Social Business strategies.

"The days of businesses using social media to simply measure likes and followers are long gone," said Hinchcliffe and Kim. "From marketing to sales to product development, social media has the potential to transform business at every level of the organizational chart. By reading Social Business by Design, you can find out how."

Designed especially for large enterprises, Social Business by Design is the first major business book to provide a practical step-by-step guide for traditional organizations on how to realize mature Social Business capabilities that will directly drive growth, revenue, and innovation. Management teams can strategically employ the knowledge in the book as a roadmap to reach maturity with high-impact results and minimum risk.

Students Design Virtual ID Badge to Combat Online Hackers - Marketwatch

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb 07, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- A student entrepreneurial team at the University of Utah believes it has come up with a winning business plan for a virtual ID badge that operates off of any mobile device. The team, calling itself EMRID Technologies, developed a product that could be used in place of other common electronic ID badges used by hospitals, defense companies or other firms where securing data is of the utmost importance.

"We essentially replaced traditional username and password authentication systems with a proprietary virtual ID badge," said Austin Aerts, CFO of EMRID Technologies, and accounting student at the David Eccles School of Business. "We knew we had this great idea, but entering Opportunity Quest really taught us the difference between a great idea and a great business plan."

Other EMRID team members were Emily Theisen, CEO of EMRID, and Ph.D. student David Kent of the U's College of Pharmacy, who is also a student at the S.J. Quinney College of Law.

EMRID's business plan recently bested 23 entries made by undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. students in the business school's annual Opportunity Quest competition. More than 200 students, mentors, advisors and business team members gathered to contribute to the multi-round competition. Business plan submissions stemmed from the medical, chemical, technological, athletic, social, security and educational fields.

Numerous colleges across Utah host separate Opportunity Quest competitions. Top teams, like EMRID, advance to the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge at the U for a chance to win $40,000. EMRID hopes its technology is innovative enough to win the top prize.

"Employees constantly use personal mobile devices for professional activities, yet sensitive information must continue to be protected by company and governmental standards," Aerts said. "EMRID offers a simple -- yet elegant -- solution to this by turning mobile devices into virtual ID badges. In doing so, they don't need to enter a password that can be hacked and the device can facilitate professional use of personal devices while working within the constraints of current IT and security systems."

Dolly Holt, winner of the fall's techTITANS idea competition, won continued support for her ligament and tendon repair device by placing second in Opportunity Quest. IB-Tape, a sports medicine product team, placed third. TechTITANS, the first of the three competitions in the Utah Entrepreneur Series, precedes Opportunity Quest and the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge. For the first time, green energy ideas can earn $100,000 through the Challenge by taking advantage of a new partnership between the Utah Entrepreneur Series and the University of Colorado Boulder.

The 24 entries in the U's Opportunity Quest underlined students' innovative mindset and entrepreneurial tendencies. Several entries emerged from the U's Lassonde Center and Technology Commercialization Office, while others utilized resources such as the Foundry and Student Entrepreneur Conference to develop their ideas. University students were provided access to mentors in the business community, whose expertise helped to refine ideas and give them real-world application.

"Because of my success within techTITANS and Opportunity Quest, I was recently contacted by a company regarding a potential partnership," says Holt.

Opportunity Quest is part of the U's Lassonde Entrepreneur Center, which provides a variety of business and entrepreneurship programs for undergraduates and graduates. The Lassonde Center is jointly managed by the David Eccles School of Business and the Technology Venture Development office.

Tree Life Design Offers Excellent Opportunity For Small Business Growth - YAHOO!

A leading Atlanta-based small business web design and development company launches an affordable package to help business owners establish an online presence and generate more leads.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

Tree Life Designs, an Atlanta, GA-based company that specializes in web design and development, recently introduced a special service package for small business owners. In addition to dynamic and visually appealing web design, small business owners can look forward to bringing their web sites to the top of search engine rankings at an affordable price. The new package includes WordPress/Magento Development and Search Engine Optimization that combines functional web design, hosting, coding, content management, and search engine optimization as well. According to the spokesperson of Tree Life Design, Nathan Marcarelli, the main objective behind the new package is to help small businesses stand out from the competition without having to spend a fortune.

Tree Life Designs’ multi-talented staff is well experienced in all aspects of web design & development, internet marketing, SEO, and content management. Small business owners can tap into their expertise in order to gain better exposure to the market. Project Manager Nathan Marcarelli says, “Launching a web site is not enough, even if it is the most creative and dazzling piece of work. What is more important is the implementation of effective internet marketing strategies like SEO to drive traffic to the website, which is what our team excels in.”

The new package is ideal for growing a small business website from the ground up while Tree Life Designs continues to cater to the price-sensitive market segment. Nathan Marcarelli continues, “Older technologies which involved the deployment of static websites cannot help a business grow. High quality and functionality are the highlights of our new package that are designed to help small businesses project a professional and competitive image online. In addition, it is much easier to update, an important element since market conditions constantly change over time.”

Several small businesses have already taken advantage of this unique opportunity from Tree Life Designs, the first step towards building a solid online presence and promoting their products. When asked to explain what’s unique about the package Marcarelli said, “We have added just about everything a small business needs to gain an online presence. From design to content management, hosting, and SEO, our clients need not worry and continue to focus on the key areas of their business. We offer enhanced search engine optimization solutions that focus on additional lead generation, which is just what small businesses need. We have the experience and the staff that are well versed with the latest trends in the market. So, from eye popping design to functionality and optimization, you can expect a complete package that can have a real impact on your business. It is the combination of premium WordPress/Magento development and SEO that makes the difference.”

The first couple of years are what can make a difference between success and failure of a small business. For small business startups, an early entry on the web has the potential to enhance business growth, which is what Tree Life Designs new package can help them achieve. More information is available on the company’s website at http://www.treelifedesigns.com.
