So I thought I’d explain the title of my blog: NewCommBiz
I like things that are new.
It doesn’t even really matter what it is, just new stuff in general really interests me.
- How/why is this new?
- Where did the idea come from?
- Who thought of the idea?
- Is this going to be a success?
- Who will ultimately use this?
- How will they use it?
I love communication.
This is what I got my undergraduate degree in.
- The way people communicate.
- The way groups communicate.
- The way communication effects our perceptions.
- The way communication effects our culture.
- Interpersonal, Small group, Mass Media, Computer Mediated.
- Communication Theory.
- Communication in practice.
I am fascinated by business.
It’s what I got my Masters degree in.
- Business models.
- Business innovation.
- Business management.
- Business lifecycles.
- Business transitions.
The Trifecta
Now if you want to really get me geeked out, combine any of the above in any possible combination.
- The effect the Internet is having on the media business.
- Mobile phone adoption.
- New Internet Businesses.
- The information explosion and how knowledge workers aggregate and stay productive.
2 out of 3 ain’t bad
But really you don’t have to have all 3 to get me excited.
- New business ideas that have nothing to do with the Internet.
- Old communication business models.
- General business challenges.
- Old communication technologies.
Why am I telling you all of this? I don’t know really. Part of me thought you might be interested in what makes me tick. But partly because I’m seeing a lot more of the 2 out of 3 category. At Highway 12 Ventures I see a lot of new businesses that have nothing to do with the Internet. At HP I’m doing more and more “traditional” marketing. Things like CRM and metrics.
I find all of these things interesting and they really allow me to learn and grow. Hopefully this results in me being a better, more well rounded business leader. I will probably even blog about some of these things, even though they may seem a little off topic from my traditional topics.
I hope you find it as interesting as I do and can learn something along the way.
P.S. To be fair the reason I’m interested in the traditional stuff is so I can see how new communication business ideas apply
