Le boom des smartphones, et l'émergence des tablettes, a entraîné dans son sillon l'explosion des applications. Selon une étude menée par Flurry, en situation de mobilité, les applications natives seraient plus utilisées que les sites web.

Forcer le référencement naturel a bien entendu un prix : moyennant 8 000 euros, promesse est faite de faire remonter l'application dans le Top 10.

To Create Long-term Shareholder Value, Start with Employees - Kenneth W. Freeman by Kenneth W. Freeman | 12:38 PM October 12, 2011 This blog post is part of the HBR Online Forum The CEO’s Role in Fixing the System. When I first became head of MetPath in 1995, a troubled Corning subsidiary that eventually became Quest Diagnostics, I dropped in on what was one of the largest clinical testing laboratories in the U.S. The attrition rate turned out to be 45%. As Raymond Gilmartin writes, people work not just for money but also for meaning in their lives. That would require, as Dominic Barton observes, balancing financial metrics with measures that track the ability to forge internal alignment. Why employee satisfaction and not customer satisfaction? That means not only treating all employees with dignity, respect, and fairness but also helping them see how critical they are to the enterprise. In those early days at MetPath, the company desperately needed a turnaround — a situation in which employee satisfaction usually gets short shrift.

So you want to do a startup, eh? Four Strategy Gurus to Avoid - Scott Anthony by Scott Anthony | 3:29 PM October 12, 2011 About a year ago I miscalculated — badly — on the Microsoft Kinect. In terms of speed of adoption, only Apple’s iPad has rivaled the Kinect. That’s pretty much what happens to a pundit who gets it wrong — nothing. Life is tougher for the strategist. The non-user. The projector. The freeze framer. The opiner. As an occasionally unhelpful pundit myself, I hope I’ve helped you dodge these dangerous characters — or at least put their opinions into perspective. 8 Crucial Elements of Startup Success Bill Clark is the CEO of MicroAngel Capital Partners, a venture firm that gives more investors access to alternative investments.

Below is a list of tips that may help your startup get to the next level. 1. If you don’t have the skills to code, make sure you find someone with a solid programming background who can implement your idea. 2. Sometimes you’ll encounter a last-minute opportunity to add features to your product. 3. If you’re developing a product, make sure you truly understand the needs of your end users. 4.

10 Tips for Better Startup Marketing Scott Gerber is a serial entrepreneur, internationally syndicated columnist and TV host, and the founder of the Young Entrepreneur Council. He is also an active angel investor and author of the book Never Get a "Real" Job. Many aspiring entrepreneurs foolishly believe that all they need to do is sign up for a Twitter account, blog about special offers, and hand out a flashy looking brochure, whereupon leads will come pouring in. This couldn’t be further from the truth. These are unfortunate social media fantasies and free marketing delusions. The mere existence of a market for your product or service does not guarantee anyone will listen to or care about your brand. In order for your business to avoid getting lost among the glut of content already clogging direct marketing channels, your promotions and tactics must be highly creative, contain a quality message and fit the audience you are targeting. 1. — Danny Wong, Blank Label Group, Inc. 2. — Steph Auteri, Word Nerd Pro 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
