Dominant and in fashion.
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.
2. Do you agree with the ways in which this entrepreneur has marketed his or her image?
Not all the time, she needs to stop having nosejobs and tanning.
3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place?
New and wonderful outlook on fashion.
Mark Cuban
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
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"

Dynamic Entrepreneur
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.

Most Dynamic Entrepreneur # 2
Who do you think is today's most dynamic entrepreneur? I think Howard Schultz is one of today's most dynamic entrepreneurs.
1. Why do you think this person is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs? Howard Schultz is one of today's most dominant entrepreneurs because he has worked his way to the top. Schultz grew up in a housing project in Brooklyn, went to college on a football scholarship, and now runs one of the biggest coffee companies in the world. 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.

I think Jay Z is the most dynamic entrepreneur because he not only makes money by selling his music records, but he also make money by selling clothes.

Most Dominant Entrepreneur
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.
3. What effect do you think that this entrepreneur has left on the market place? Mark Goldston has left a lasting impact on the marketplace. His ways of advertising and merging companies that offer internet service as well as services once the user is online has kept a steady and large consumer base. Further, he has provided people with free internet, though with restrictions. This enables people to connect with others and more conveniently shop online while being economically efficient--which is critical in the current economy crisis. Further his empire has created a consistent consumer base and will never be obsolete, thus it will continue to prosper.

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.
