Tras su formación, Hastings se sumergió en el mundo del emprendimiento, fundando Pure Software, una empresa que se convirtió en un éxito en el mercado del software de gestión de calidad. Fue durante este período que surgió la chispa de Netflix.

Nació Netflix, que revolucionaría para siempre la forma en que consumimos entretenimiento. Netflix rápidamente se hizo popular y ofrecía a sus suscriptores una amplia biblioteca de películas y series a un precio asequible.

Book excerpt: Netflix-CEO Reed Hastings over de Netflixcultuur en zijn sleutel tot succes 'Hastings en Meyer loodsen je langs een stappenplan om je bedrijf net zo innovatief te maken als de wereldwijde streamingdienst met 182 miljoen betalende abonnees.' •••• NRC Er is nooit eerder een bedrijf geweest als Netflix. Het zette de entertainmentindustrie radicaal op zijn kop, met jaarlijkse inkomsten van miljarden dollars en honderden miljoenen abonnees in meer dan 190 landen. Maar om zulke hoogtes te bereiken moest Netflix zichzelf constant opnieuw uitvinden. Dit lukte dankzij de baanbrekende bedrijfscultuur van CEO Reed Hastings. Netflix creëerde nieuwe bedrijfswaarden, waarbij de mensen centraal kwamen te staan en innovatie belangrijker was dan efficiëntie. Bij Netflix hanteren ze geen vakantiedagen of onkostenbeleid. Ze kijken niet naar hoe hard je werkt, maar naar wat je oplevert. En bij Netflix probeer je niet je baas te pleasen maar geef je ook je leidinggevenden de feedback die nodig is om het bedrijf vooruit te helpen. Voor de allereerste keer doet Reed Hastings nu een boekje open. Samen met professor aan INSEAD Business School Erin Meyer, duikt hij dieper in de spraakmakende bedrijfscultuur die medeverantwoordelijk is voor het succes. Op basis van honderden interviews met (oud-)Netflix-medewerkers en nooit eerder vertelde verhalen over Hastings’ eigen successen én fouten, onthult No rules rules de fascinerende filosofie achter de unieke Netflix-cultuur. 'De inzichten in dit boek zijn van onschatbare waarde voor iedereen die probeert een organisatiecultuur te creëren.' – Satya Nadella, CEO Microsoft 'De belangrijkste bedrijfsvraag van onze tijd is "hoe blijf je innoveren?" In dit baanbrekende boek geven Reed Hastings en Erin Meyer daarop een antwoord. Ze beschrijven een bewezen, systematische methode voor het bouwen, onderhouden en versterken van een zeer innovatieve internationale cultuur.' – Ben Horowitz, Amerikaans zakenman en investeerder

Download or read book That Will Never Work written by Marc Randolph and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Phil Knight's Shoe Dog comes the incredible untold story of how Netflix went from concept to company - all revealed by co-founder and first CEO Marc Randolph. "Engaging and insightful." --Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix "As the founding CEO, Marc Randolph's leadership defined the culture of Netflix and laid the groundwork for successive, global revolutions in how we make and consume entertainment." --Gina Keating, author of Netflixed: The Epic Battle for America's Eyeballs "Charming, fascinating and very funny. If you've ever wondered how to turn an idea into a global household name, Marc Randolph will demystify the world of Silicon Valley start-ups, and make you laugh a lot along the way." --Decca Aitkenhead, The Sunday Times "A charming first-person account of the early days of one of the most successful tech start-ups ever. An engaging read that will engross any would-be entrepreneur." --The Washington Post Once upon a time, brick-and-mortar video stores were king. Late fees were ubiquitous, video-streaming unheard of, and widespread DVD adoption seemed about as imminent as flying cars. These were the widely accepted laws of the land in 1997 when Marc Randolph had an idea. It was a simple thought - leveraging the internet to rent movies - and was just one of many more proposals, like personalised baseball bats and a shampoo delivery service, that Randolph would pitch to his business partner, Reed Hastings, on their commute to work each morning. But Hastings was intrigued, and the pair - with Hastings as the primary investor and Randolph as the CEO - founded a company. Now with over 150 million subscribers, Netflix's triumph feels inevitable but the twenty-first century's most disruptive start-up began with few believers and calamity at every turn. From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to the motel conference room that served as a first office, to server crashes on launch day, to the now-infamous meeting when they pitched Blockbuster to acquire them, Marc Randolph's transformational journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts and determination can change the world - even with an idea that many think will never work. What emerges, however, isn't just the inside story of one of the world's most iconic companies. Full of counter-intuitive concepts and written in binge-worthy prose, it answers our most fundamental questions about taking that leap of faith in business or in life: How do you begin? How do you weather disappointment and failure? How do you deal with success? What even is success? From idea generation to team building to knowing when it's time to let go, That Will Never Work is not only the ultimate follow-your-dreams parable but also one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time. "Marc wastes no time cutting through the noise. He understands what is important whether it is your product, your marketing, or your business plan. A remarkable and one of a kind visionary." --Mitch Lowe, founder of RedBox and CEO of MoviePass "An entertaining chronicle of creativity, luck, and unflagging perseverance." --Kirkus

Download or read book Vlad written by Carlos Fuentes and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where, Carlos Fuentes asks, is a modern-day vampire to roost? Why not Mexico City, populated by ten million blood sausages (that is, people), and a police force who won’t mind a few disappearances? “Vlad” is Vlad the Impaler, of course, whose mythic cruelty was an inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In this sly sequel, Vlad really is undead: dispossessed after centuries of mayhem by Eastern European wars and rampant blood shortages. More than a postmodern riff on “the vampire craze,” Vlad is also an anatomy of the Mexican bourgeoisie, as well as our culture’s ways of dealing with death. For—as in Dracula—Vlad has need of both a lawyer and a real-estate agent in order to establish his new kingdom, and Yves Navarro and his wife Asunción fit the bill nicely. Having recently lost a son, might they not welcome the chance to see their remaining child live forever? More importantly, are the pleasures of middle-class life enough to keep one from joining the legions of the damned?
