  2. Publishers -- Sales
    Music publishers are usually generally most in signing established songwriters or recording artists who write their own material. However, some publishers may be willing to sign new songwriters or bands without a record deal. If a publisher believes an undiscovered artist will one day sell lots of hit records, they may help the artist record demos and assist in trying to land a major record deal. If the artist gets signed, the music publisher will hope to see a reward for its investment in the form of mechanical royalties, public performance royalties and other derivative income. A publisher may even be willing to contribute to tour support or provide extra promotions money in order to generate future publishing income from record sales and airplay.

  4. Mark Cuban -- People
    According to the New York Post, Mark Cuban wants his fellow former hoofer to put up his dukes. "We're talking to Mario [Lopez]... to put together a celebrity mixed-martial-arts program where celebs beat the heck out of each other," says the moneybags Dancing with the Stars reject.

  5. Warren Buffett -- Charlie Munger
    Warren Buffett’s holding company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., recently held its 2002 annual meeting. (Full disclosure: I regret that I have zero financial interest in Berkshire.) The annual meeting is ... known affectionately as "Woodstock for Capitalists" because shareholders have the wonderful opportunity to ask anything of Buffett and his partner Charlie Munger, and interrogators don’t have to limit the subject to investing. In this year’s meeting, a shareholder asked whether Buffett and Munger were sporting products from Berkshire’s Fruit of the Loom subsidiary, to which Buffett replied in the affirmative and jokingly suggested "Covering the Asses of the Masses" as a possible new slogan.

  7. Charles R. Schwab -- Chuck Schwab
    Events at Schwab display all the classic elements of a Greek tragedy. A visionary and still-robust father-figure founder who can’t quite seem to find the right time to let go. A brilliant but unruly son-like deputy whose “bad boy” antics served as an excuse to continue his prolonged adolescence. And, most tellingly, a corporate culture so rich in value statements, origin stories and epics of crises past that it can be properly said of Schwab that, far from owning and controlling this powerful corporate culture, the culture owns and controls Schwab. If the lasting value of a leader is measured by succession, then Chuck Schwab is failing the test.
  8. Club -- Services
    Marketing executives at Twentieth Century Fox faced difficulties in marketing Fight Club and at one point considered marketing it as an art film. Because of the film's violence, they considered it primarily geared toward male audiences and believed that not even the presence of Brad Pitt would attract female filmgoers. Research testing showed that the film appealed to teenagers. Fincher refused to let the posters and trailers focus on Brad Pitt and encouraged the studio to hire the advertising firm Wieden+Kennedy to devise a marketing plan. The firm came up with a bar of pink soap as the film's main marketing image, which was considered "a bad joke" by Fox executives. Fincher ... released two early trailers in the form of faux public service announcements presented by Pitt and Norton which the studio considered as inappropriate introductions to the movie.
