3. Tiger Woods has left a very positive mark on the market by portraying that he can do anything and everything in the golf world and sell products with his image.

Dominant and in fashion.

1. Why do you think this person is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs?
Because Donatella Versace has been able to come from such a tragedy with the death of G. Versace and translate her vison into his company. She has been able to show that even without him she can lead a sucessful luxury brand without him and that the brand can also look as good if not better than it did before his death. Also, her industry is dominated by powerful women, and she was a non item when she started. When one sees established people such as miucia prada, anna wintour, and carolina hererra and looks at how donatella was thrown into the industry with no notice and has been able to drive Versace to a profit it is clear that she is a dominant businesswoman.

Mark Cuban

1. Mark Cuban is one of today's most dominant entreprenuers because of his success in a variety of markets. He is the owner of an NBA team, he co-owns 2929 Entertainment, and he is the chairman of HDNet. He had an idea to make some money and he ran with it. He started an online business and made hundreds of millions of dollars from it. He now is worth over $2.8 billion.

2. Yes, I agree with the image that he has marketed himself as. He is crazy, wild and aggressive. He gets out there and wants to make money. It's all part of the business. He knows what he wants and he goes out and gets it and he doesn't care how much trouble he gets in. He gets heard.

3. I believe that Mark Cuban has left a positive effect on the market place. He is good for the NBA and he loves to put people in the seats. He loves to entertain. He was even on Dancing with the Stars. A person like that has definately left a positive effect in the market place.

Post one: Jay Z and his image

JAY-Z

1. Why do you think this person is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs?

Because Jay- Z has been able to evolve his image from that of just another rapper into that of a sucessful business man and has been able to show that people who are members of the "hip hop comunity" are able to effectily grow market share in both personal and publicly traded interests.

2. Do you agree with the ways in which this entrepreneur has marketed his or her image?
When he first began i did not seee a positve to the way he marketed himself. It was not truly effective, to be labeled as a "dope boy" and to aspire to be a C.E.O at def jam. However, his more refined ways have allowed a positive influence on many people within america who do not belive that they have inate ability (ies).


3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place?
He has redefined hip hop culture and made it more palatable to the world at large, through refinement of his own image during the epoch in which he was "the best rapper alive"

1. Why do you think this person is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs? I think LeBron James is one of the most dominant entrepreneurs today because he has exploded in the market industry. He went from selling shoes to clothes, to so many accesories. Lebron James almost sells everything.

2. Do you agree with the ways in which this entrepreneur has marketed his or her image?

Yes I agree with the way LeBron has marketed his image. One because he is LeBron James and he is one of the greatest NBA players. I love his shoes i had every pair that came out.

2. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place?

To me I think LeBron has left a huge impact in the market business becasue everyone buy's Lebron JAmes stuff. His stuff is so good other country is trying to buy him.

Dynamic Entrepreneur

1. I think today's most dynamic entrepreneur is Miley Cyrus. She has a wildly popular TV show on the Disney channel, she has two movies, and she's famous for her singing career. She is a sensation worldwide. She's sixteen years old, and she is already a brand image. Her TV show has the highest ratings of any show on telvesion today. She also has several CDs, some from her television alter ego, some as herself. All of them have made record sales as well as being on the Billboard Top 100. Everyone in America knows her name. She's Hannah Montana.


2. I both do and do not agree with the way Miley Cyrus markets her image. On the one hand, I think she does an excellent job of getting her image out there and being a public figure. She constantly appears on the covers of pre-teen magazines, her show is on air at least twice a day, and her songs are played on radio stations across the nation. However, she does not do a good job of keeping her image clean and professional. She has had several scandals involving photos of her in Vanity Fair and photos she posted herself online. Inappropriate behavior like this will not help her career, and has lost her fans. If she kept her image more professional and appropriate to her fans, the majority of which are pre-teen girls, she would be a better role model and have a better chance of continuing her career.

3. Miley Cyrus has changed the marketplace in several ways. For one, she is the most popular teenage sensation ever to enter the marketplace. She is also one of the few teenage celebrities to sing, act, and dance. Most teenage actors also have nowhere near as much success as she has had. Miley Cyrus has proven to everyone in her industry that it is possible for a teenager to become the popular phenomenon in the entertainment business.

A Great Entrepreneur

1. Why do you think this person is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs?

I think one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs is Magic Johnson.

He used his basketball career and influence to get him higher in life.

2. Do you agree with the ways in which this entrepreneur has marketed his or her image?

I do agree with the way Magic has marketed his image. He openly came out about having HIV and that didn't make him look all that bad. He spun everything that happened to him form bad to good. He's shown his self as a positive role model to many youth.

3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place?

The effect he has had on the market place has not been bad. He owns 50% of 72 Starbucks locations. He builds housing in urban communities . His effects on the market has been pretty good.

2. Yes I agree with the way he markets himself. He markets himself as the best and thats exactly what he is, the best.

3. He has left a big effect on the game of basketball, and he has left a big effect on Nike since his shoes are so popular, he brings in so much money.

He helped build up Starbucks to what it is today.

2. Do you agree with the ways in which this entrepreneur has marketed his or her image?
I agree with the ways in which Schultz has marketed his image. He always appears professional when talking to press and advertisers, and also really puts the focus on the company, not himself. He truly has a passion to have his company succeed. He had to persuade Starbucks for a year before they hired him, eventually making him director or marketing and operations. Since then, he has bought the Starbucks corporation for over $3 million. He has always marketed Starbucks positively.

3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place?
Schultz has changed the coffee market forever. Starbucks is at the head of the coffee world and has countless locations, all over the world. No one has had as much success as him in the same field. He has provided an amazing example for people to follow.

3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place?

Bill Gates has left a huge mark on the market place. Bill Gates' business, Microsoft, is worth billion and has made him the world's richest man. Although some people say that the only reason Microsoft is so successful is because it is a monopoly, but there are other computer software developers, so Microsoft is not a monopoly. Microsoft is so successful because Bill Gates and his team has put a lot of hard work into their software and worked hard to fight off piracy, so other entrepreneurs know that all that it takes for a successful business is hard work.

2. Do you agree with the ways in which this entrepreneur has marketed his or her image? Although Britney Spears has many bad images that go along with her name, the publicity only makes her more famous and so I agree with the way that Britney Spears doesn't let the bad publicity ruin the business aspect of her career.

3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place? Britney Spears has made her name even bigger than it was when she was just a pop music icon. Britney Spears was smart enough to use her fame to make the transition into business, easy and immediately successful.

Most Dominant Entrepreneur

1. Why do you think this person is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs? Mark Golston is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs because his target audience is unique and thus his businesses do not have to fight with pre-existing companies for their consumers. Instead of building just another internet service company targeting the techies and those who want the most luxurious services, he went for those who could not or would not pay high prices for internet service. His idea was a huge success. He has since built up his company to include online services, further increasing his success. Currently, he is the CEO and dominant owner of United Online.

2. Do you agree with the ways in which this entrepreneur has marketed his or her image? I do agree with the ways in which Mark Goldston has marketed his image. He appeals to consumers who want internet service but are unable or unwilling to pay the luxurious prices that other services, such as Comcast or AOL, demand. His concept of marketing is unique and his image reflects this. Further, he markets strategically. The company of which he is currently CEO, United Online, has a variety of service types. Not only does United Online contain two internet service providers--NetZero and Juno--but they also have a flower delivery service (FTD), a site that connects people called Classmates.com, personal website services called MySite.com, and a rewards service for credit cards and savings accounts that was bought from American Airlines.

Further his empire has created a consistent consumer base and will never be obsolete, thus it will continue to prosper.

1. Truett Cathy is one of today's most successful entrepeneurs because he has developed a leading restaurant chain called Chic Fil-a, starting from scratch.

2. Whenever I have been to a Chic Fil-a, even though it's a fast food chain, the service is really good because Truett believes in humble, happy people. Chic Fil-a's always have a nice happy feel, which is appealing.

3. Truett has left a huge affect on the marketplace. He has revolutionized fast food service to being polite and caring, while serving fantastic food at the same time. His restaurants are literally as popular if not more popular than McDonalds in much of America.

Entrepreneur

1. Who do you think does the best job managing their image?
I think Jennifer Lopez does the best job managing her image because she is involved in so many things at once. She is a dancer, a singer, has a perfume and a clothing line, and is a serious actress. Most entrepreneurs have only one facet to their career. Jennifer Lopez, on the other hand, has many different projects to manage, and with all of them she is promoting herself in a positive way. Her image is promoted on a major scale, in movies and on TV and in magizines, and she keeps her image clean and professional.

2. Do you agree with the way this entrepreneur has marketed his/her image?
Some entrepreneurs have no image except that of their company. However Jennifer Lopez is a household name. Her image is a popular one, but it's still professional and positive. She markets her image as an actress, singer, and many other things, all in a good way. Some celebrities get a lot of bad press, but Jennifer Lopez keeps her image clean.

3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place?
I think Jennifer Lopez's effect on the market place has been a major one. She has changed the way we look at celebrities. Instead of being your regular singer, she transitioned from just singing to also serious acting, and then she went on to market her clothing line and her perfume. She was one of the first singers to spread her career so far, and now many, many others in her industry have followed in her footsteps.
