In Waggoner’s essay, “Videogames, Avatar, and Identity,” he says that people create avatars which contain some of their identity but at the same time, they remain separate (492). Obama's Facebook and Twitter pages are controlled by his staff for the campaign purpose, but at the same time he can access the account to look at the comments and post something personal for himself. There are some pictures of President Obama in which he was giving high fives to the children, playing with his dog, spending time with his daughter during the weekend, or celebrating his and his wife's 20th anniversary. President Obama appears to be more like a father of two children and a husband of Michelle Obama in the virtual world that he creates. All of his posts make him more real for people in America.
This case is based on an interview of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, the author of Jobs's biography. His saga is the entrepreneurial creation myth writ large. Steve Jobs cofounded Apple in his parents’ garage in 1976, was ousted in 1985, returned to rescue it from near bankruptcy in 1997, and by the time he died, in October 2011, had built it into the world's most valuable company. Along the way he helped to transform Page 370seven industries: personal computing, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, retail stores, and digital publishing…. When Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, it was producing an array of computers and peripherals, including a dozen different versions of the Macintosh.

And Ben Wu says “So I want to learn how Chinese conduct business, what's the best opportunity in what industry” (Young and Restless in China). At surface value it looks as if these interviews show that these people did what they wanted and it had nothing to do with their family. But looking further it is clear that they chose these careers in order to form or maintain a family environment. When Wang, for example, sent all the money he had to a woman he met online he was trying to form a family environment. Similarly Ben Wu left his family in America to pursue his internet cafe idea, seeming to choose business over family but Ben then says that he hopes “she will stay here with me finally and we will have a family here” (Young and Restless in China).
He wanted to ensure that all the partners understood and agreed on not only the marketing strategy, but also the management requirements the new venture would impose. Though operational pressures had never really allowed the partners to sit back and think of long-term strategies, they had the benefit of a final year MBA project conducted by a four person team from the Lahore University of Management Sciences. The project had drawn extensively on the insights and experiences of several seasoned knitwear experts including the Pakistan specialist at the Swiss firm, Gherzi, the world's leading Textile industry expert. Tariq felt that the study was worth at least a year of S & T management's time and wanted to capitalise on it. COMPANY BACKGROUND Shahzad Elahi, Nadira Sabahuddin, and Mohammad Ali Tariq (see Appendix 1 for profiles) conceived Styles and Trends as part of their Entrepreneurship course project at LUMS in 1988.
