According to a leading entrepreneur in Pakistan, services and products (both a form of business) are as if two opposing realities, as the difference between these two modes being very sharp. He observes that a service (for example, the job of a surgeon which deals with standard cases) requires the service provider to execute what he's best at in the best manner in order to 'create value'. The problem with making a new product, however, according to him, is that there's no repetition involved to save the day; rather, every time a company commences to develop a product that must be different from what is being offered in the market, it needs a whole new set of capabilities, technical expertise and organizational skills just to innovate a product, not many products. Moreover, another dilemma is that this, unlike providing tedious service(s), consumes an excessive amount of energy and resources. "Burn rates", like stakes, are very high.

Use Dark Colors in Your Presentation Slide Background
Try to use dark colors in your presentation slides background, especially if you're presenting to executive. Why? Simple. Dark color is not a color at all, it's the absence of a color. Therefore, 'it's soothing to the eyes'. Moreover, your audience are allowed to narrow down their focus on the written words. Steve Jobs perhaps made a good use of this principle.
