George Takei, who played “Hikaru Sulu [1],” ship’s pilot, said in an interview that he believed that the success of the series was because each culture was represented in the bridge, he represented the Eastern culture with his ancestral burden and self-control. It was rare to see it lose patience. Of course the responsibility of bringing the ship to port was calm enough to keep a person safe capacity.
Pavel Chekov was the navigator function that alternated with the safety and scientific studies. Although his young age, he entered the service at age 17, showed a maturity that allowed it to adapt to the crew.
Montgomery Scotty Scott familiarly called, was chief engineer Montgomery Scott. The ship’s engines have no secrets from him, yet on many occasions has used one of his main skills, improvisation, to save the situation. Together with extreme professionalism, is this ability to combine his knowledge and intuition that has sought the fame of The Miracle Worker.
Nyota Uhura, communications officer, is black, which gives a multiracial nature of human endeavor to explore the universe. Perhaps performing a secondary function (Communications), but it was the highest level of professional competence which was a positive example for their peers.
Dr. Leonard Horatio McCoy, nicknamed Bones (American military slang, medic), endowed with great compassion, is also quite grumpy, superstitious and irrational fears of new technologies, especially the carrier, whose efficacy has not trusts. One way or another served as the emotional part that faced the logical Vulcan first officer.
Spock is the son of Vulcan Ambassador Sarek and his human wife Amanda Grayson. In his childhood, as Vulcan-human origin was the laughingstock of his peers, which underwent a test of courage in which he was asked to choose for the rest of his life one of the two cultures that had marked his birth Vulcan culture and adopted ..
Although Vulcan Spock proclaimed, suffers an internal conflict between reason and logic of his Vulcan half and the emotion and intuition of his human half. For human standards, however, is undoubtedly extremely phlegmatic and logical when confronting a danger. As the first officer of the ship is the perfect complement to Captain Kirk of which is his best friend and companion.
James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the star ship USS Enterprise was the ideal leader of the crew office. He knew perfectly the personality and talents of each of them, like pieces of a machine powered by a single goal in mind: the assigned mission, exploring the universe.
The captain’s confidence in his men allowed to take risks which at first seemed immense. Do not hesitate to delegate authority temporarily in some of his officers according to the contingency. But always take responsibility for the actions of his ship. Was allowed to forge the rules a bit to achieve the end (many call initiative) and loyalty to his team and his planet was its fundamental value
It seems that today we no longer even good example of how Microsoft or Apple was born, everything has to be faster and immediate, of course: a large scale. This is where, in my opinion, it starts to fail, and that, among many others, one of the reasons for the high volatility of many Web companies and Internet are born and disappear at high speed without even an initial approach “rational” (i.e. the phone Portal “Terra” in Spain was one of the most striking).
From this undeniable reality, it seems that all we move to analyze how and in what way we can demonstrate our ability and ingenuity to develop ideas and projects that will lead us, using our criteria and using the facilities and services offered by Internet, to build models stable business and travel.
That’s when we are examples like Google, Face book or less success stories and more international and local media where, at least so it seems, there is a “magic touch” of genius that allows us a niche in the business world’s elite get introduced into the market via the Internet a product or application unique and incomparable or sell our Portal or a multinational company that bought us a huge price.
So in a time where even Silicon Valley seems to be in crisis it is time to bring back the concept of business model basing network in principle less “intangibles” and “magic” and more “logical” and “business.
First I would choose to take into account the views of those he called “gurus” of new technologies in the same way that we consider the opinion in private matters of a distant cousin you see once a year and we have always gotten along but which neither we know nothing about him or vice versa. Nothing more instructive to see some erroneous predictions about technology that made some of these great gurus of his time that no one remembers now.
Second, keep in mind that is the market that always sets the tone, is always the customer who else understands the product you want to sell, simply because it decides whether to buy or not, and the market is not neither more nor less than people with some conditions that sometimes mark the time, society and the characteristics and socio-cultural environment in which we live. Probably the Google concept or social networks in the early Internet had failed as neither the maturity in the design of the first Internet communications, and their small number would have allowed the current expansion and development.
Finally, consider the indicator of the success of our project’s website (and I think in any field) is not telling us how great it is, let the awards we receive (lately it seems that the more prizes you get, the Innovation, Business Young Entrepreneurs, etc …) be assured that our human resources, economic and above all our knowledge and market dominance will us afford. How many times undertaking a project to reach the moon has not even flied.
If we innovate, we run the risk that consumers are tired of the same and seek novelty in the competition, our competitors imitate our products and make us lose our leadership, the emergence of new competitors and easily from one part seize of our market.
Therefore, today, an important requirement, not only if we want to be competitive and succeed with our business but also if we want to avoid running the risk of being taken out of the market, is to innovate constantly.
Innovation does not necessarily mean inventing new products or develop new technologies, innovation can mean to launch new products, but do not necessarily have to be completely new products, but products may be based on the products we already have, but with new designs, new models, new brand, new logo, etc..
Also, these new products can be based on the products we already have, but to which they have added new enhancements, new features, new features, new functions, new features, new profits.
On the other hand, innovation can also mean implementing new business practices, develop more efficient processes, develop technological improvements, implement new forms of distribution, design new strategies, designing new promotions, etc…
To innovate, we must be ever alert to market changes, new needs, new tastes, new preferences, new desires, new fashions, new trends, and then, based on this information, use our creativity, and start innovating.
The constant innovation ensures we may not have a competitive position or achieve success, but today, due mainly to the high number of competitors and the high demands of consumers, while innovating leaves us safely out of the market.
