Business Start-Up Resources What began as a small cottage industry in Southern California has blossomed into a thriving nationwide business where people just like you are earning big bucks. Auto detailers go over a car in detail, waxing and polishing the paint, chrome and wheels and thoroughly cleaning the seats and upholstery until the car has a like-new showroom shine. Startup costs are minimal, which makes auto detailing a terrific business if you're an entrepreneur on a shoestring budget. Plus, there are two ways to make money: First, by detailing cars in volume still in the dealers' showrooms. Second, by detailing private parties' cars. If you like cars (and working for yourself), an auto detailing service may be the business for you.

Formats: DVD  After reinventing itself years ago from a software-for-PCs producer to a software-for-the-enterprise producer, Microsoft is now in the midst of a multi-year initiative to transform itself again—to a software-plus-internet-services provider. And Microsoft remains committed to that transformation, notes Chris Capossela, despite the global economic downturn. In fact, it sees the crisis as an opportunity to rally all parts of the company behind its “big, big bets” for the next five to ten years. For the short term, Microsoft’s strategic direction to employees comes down to four simple guidelines: understand what they can and cannot control, prepare for an unknown length and depth of downturn, strengthen customer and partner relationships to grow market share, and act with a sense of urgency. For the longer term, the single-minded focus on its software-plus services initiative—which led to Xbox LIVE® and Exchange Online, for example—will continue to demand innovation on all fronts: technology, new business models, global pricing plans, and even naming and packaging practices. Program Highlights
Chris Capossela is responsible for worldwide product and business management for the Microsoft® Office System.
