Maybe you’re looking for business ideas to do at home or low budget but it is always interesting to know how the big corporations are doing the same.
The models are:
1. Opportunistic. The company provides no formal process to follow. Each business unit of the company is trying their own ideas and funding sources. This model continues Zimmer Holdings, a company dedicated to the medical category with over $ 3 billion in sales.
2. Planner. The company provides clear criteria on which you would like but let the new employees to submit ideas and then the company will support. It is the case of Google.
3. Promoter. Is the case of IBM and Motorola said the authors. These companies promote formal organizations with substantial funds then they used their ideas.
4. Defenders. There is a sort of “evangelization” of the spirit of the company such as DuPont but left to the individual business units to provide financing and managing the process.

Suddenly you already have a business idea to make at home, low budget or high … but is it is good idea or not?
Seth Godin, one of the gurus of the business, interviewed by the magazine Business Week points out in summary the following:
1. If you already have the idea now concentrate on the business model is like going to develop this idea.
2. It have an idea might take 5 minutes of inspiration, however explore how to implement the process takes more time and work. If a business idea to make at home you should ask for example if your family is going to support you or not, that resource accounts, how will the distribution of products.
3. After taking the idea, focus in the process. The design process takes time. In addition to the factors outlined above should see how you will set the price, legal issues and much more.
4. Do not try to invent new business models, which must be original is only your business idea. A most striking example is perhaps the case with Microsoft and Apple. The two companies are business idea development software, but the business model of Microsoft is to sell its software for use on any computer, the model of Apple is that their software works only with their own products we also sell software Macs, Iphone, Ipod etc.
5. Do not do focus groups, that are inaccurate to the level of a small business. Once you have developed your business model and thus prepared a business plan for yourself you must be honest enough to evaluate whether your plan will work or not. So it is important to separate the idea of the business plan choosing a business development model.

Almost always one is thinking of changing jobs, either to earn more money or seeking a better work environment to boost his career. Here are some tips to achieve this.
This article is based on ideas put forward in a blog in English in the New York Times.
Basically what the author recommends is to seek informal appointments with potential prospects for new jobs. Ie if I work in a bank “A” and I want to find work in the Bank “B” what I do is to seek an appointment informally with the person I could hire in this second bank.
The central idea of the informal interview is not the search for a new job but the approach to a reunion is trying to learn new things.
In the informal interview there is no pressure from the potential boss, the interview will be more relaxed and will give you at the scene of a potential work .
The truth is that the worst that can happen is that you know a new person and thus see increased their social network, which is important to develop business ideas or yourself.
