If you can promise a vital and vibrant research environment as well as great students to your faculty, you can recruit some top faculty. The top faculty on your roster will then help you to attract further top students in your program.

I quickly discovered that scientists go where the funding is, so I knew I had to start a research foundation. If you don't raise money and provide research grants, you'll never attract scientists, and if scientists aren't working on a cure, there isn't going to be a cure.

Sales teams use social media to generate leads and track clients as they move through the sales funnel. Operations and distribution teams forecast supply chains, while research and development squads brainstorm product ideas.

Aggression unopposed becomes a contagious disease.

It's like I somehow snuck a seat at the grown-up table. I'm just trying not to get caught.

When NBC bought USA and SCI FI in 2004, Jeff Zucker put me in charge of USA Networks. We did a lot of research to find out what was working and what wasn't, and we actually had to hear a lot of things we didn't like. USA was predictable; it was boring.

Search, which is extremely important, represents about 5% of the page views on the Internet and 40% of the revenue. So, highly monetized.
