Silicon Valley in California, the United States to become the mecca of the world of business technology, because the success of this area is developing high-tech business which is supported by Stanford University, the innovators, entrepreneurs and venture capital.
Growing Silicon Valley as a high-tech business center is not through a “grand design” set by government or business. Silicon Valley develop due to surge of research results from Stanford University, who was arrested by the entreprenur and then dimodali by angel investors (angel capital).
The immigrants who are interested in finding gold mendatangai area currently known as Silicon Valley around the year 1849. Education institutions are the key to the success of Silicon Valley is Stanford University, founded in 1891. Stanford University became the source of development ideas for the building industry. The first industry that stands driven by David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford, is the Federal Telegraph Company, the early 20th century also came the discovery and development of the triode vacuum in Palo Alto that was pioneered by Lee DeForest, then followed two decades later with the growth of radio tube industry ( tube radio industry).
Prof.Fred Terman who later became Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Stanford plays an important role in bridging the research results at Stanford with the industrial world.
On 1 January 1939, two Stanford University graduate launched the company’s electronic measurement equipment from their garage in Palo Alto with the help of Prof.. Fred Terman. Six decades later their company Hewlett-Packard became big companies in Silicon Valley with sales reaching U.S. $ 47.1 billion, they are pioneers of technology businesses in Silicon Valley.
In addition to Stanford and Hewlett-Packcard, Fairchild Semiconductor, Xerox PARC and Apple Computer are the companies that are very influential on the development of Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley became a legend with his success to print high-tech companies such as National Semiconductor in the field of integrated circuit, Intel in the fields of advanced micro devices, Apple is in the field of personal computers, Sun Microsystems in the field of worksations, Silicon Graphics in the field of 3D graphics, Oracle in database field software, 3 Com and Cisco Systems in the field of network computing, Yahoo as a pioneer in web search engines.
networks are very fast growing in Silicon Valley these days is Chinese and Indian immigrants. Chinese and Indian immigrants to master 27% of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley that develops in the period 1990-1998.
With the increasing number of graduates in the United States originating from Asia, then formed ethnic associations in Silicon Valley who grouped themselves into ethnic Chinese mainland, Chinese Taiwan and India. These ethnic groups became a mentor and source of initial financing for young entrepreneurs who try doing business in Silicon Valley. Most of these immigrants return to his homeland to build a technology business area, and a strong bridge in the transfer of experience from Silicon Valley to the business area of technology that they build.
The role of Stanford University
Stanford University has a very large role in the development of Silicon Valley.Sejarah Stanford Uiversity involvement in the business of technology began when Prof.Fred Terman as Dean of the Faculty of Engineering almost frustrating problems facing the scarcity of employment opportunities for graduates of the Department of Electrical in early 1936. Terman Prof.Fred directing graduates to start their own business. The first company funded by Prof.Fred Terman himself was Hewlett-Packard was founded by two of his disciples in 1939. Prof.Terman are angel investors (angel investors) who invest U.S. $ 500 as seed capital (seed capital). Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard built a company that floated standard of the best products, management and employee benefits company that later became the benchmark for companies in Silicon Valley and other areas. Hewlett-Packard representing startups (start-up company) built by the Faculty and alumni of Stanford University in the field of electronic equipment and instrumentation.
To see how far the influence of Stanford University in the development of Silicon Valley startups that need to be defined (start-up company) Stanford University is a company with technology that it developed is the result of research at Stanford University and majoriti founders were teachers, students or alumni of Stanford University.
Anyone who needs to do family planning in Islamic finance?
There is the assumption that financial planning is only for rich people who have excess money, because it uses the financial planning consulting services cost quite expensive. This assumption is of course not entirely correct. Fee must be paid to consultants finance is relatively expensive, but the benefits can be calculated and is generally greater than the fee to be paid. Keep in mind, that the Islamic family financial planning should be done by everyone.

Of course, efforts are needed to achieve these conditions, and it can be done by everyone.

Remember, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail (if you fail to plan, you plan to fail)
If you take insurance, you have to pay insurance premiums every month. It looks like money is lost. But if one day something happens to your health, then the cost of your treatment will be covered. If you do not take insurance, it means you are spending less each month. If at any time you are exposed to severe illness (which cost tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars), then your own medical expenses. Well, why should you take insurance? Because the premiums you pay each month is not actually lost money. Rather, the premium is an expense that had to be issued every month. Concepts like this are very common in foreign countries like America and developed countries in Europe. That’s why the population’s health is guaranteed. While we in Indonesia? The majority of people still think of insurance as being “unnecessary”. As a result, so there is a disaster, the family will be desperate for funds. Debt here and there, selling this and that. Things like this will not occur if the following insurance, because insurance companies will pay, not you. Calm the mind, health guaranteed, happier life.
The U.S. economy is currently experiencing a long run of impressive growth, driven in part by a dynamic and vibrant private equity sector that is geared to promoting entrepreneurship. But recognizing exactly how private equity influences economic activity is essential to understanding several current political debates.
Prior to the advent of the modern private equity sector, there was an unmet need for long-term patient capital that could be deployed to co-opt growth opportunities or to compel change in companies or industries. Existing financial institutions did not have the risk appetite, requisite knowledge, or capital availability to undertake long-term equity investing. Additionally, the United States has long had a complex regulatory regime for financial institutions that effectively divorced “banking” from “commerce.” Prior to 1980, regulations limiting pension fund investments also limited the formation of a modern private equity sector.
But after 1980, the combination of pension reform, financial deregulation, and shrewd entrepreneurship led to private equity’s rapid expansion, with firms now managing over $2 trillion in leveraged capital (up from about $5 billion in 1980). The boom in private equity has in turn played a critical role in the growth of U.S. productivity and corporate profits over the last quarter century, which has spurred the creation of jobs and material wealth.
Basic economic concepts
- Benefit : results from the difference in costs and income from economic activity, if the expenses are higher losses will occur.
- Well , good is whatever satisfies a need and has a value .
- Service : is a benefit intended to meet a personal or social need but not to the production of an object.
- Cost of living and inflation : the cost of living is the minimum amount of expenditure necessary to obtain the goods and services; to calculate the value of adding a set of products and this result defines the CPI price index consumption. Rising commodity prices is what we call inflation.
- Investment and speculation : investment is the amount of money spent to start a business or maintain and improve it in order to make a profit. When you get a quick profit of a business based only on the price of goods it comes to speculation.
- Market : The set of consumers who demand goods and services to all the producers that offer them.
- Production and productivity , called production goods and services generated by an economic activity. The relationship between employees and the media produced determines productivity. If you get high productivity using limited means, it is said that the production is high. When used in many ways but productivity is low, productivity is low.
- Gross domestic product (GDP) and GDP per capita: GDP is the total value of goods and services produced in a territory for a year. GDP reflects the wealth or income generated in that territory, but to know what the average income or wealth of its population, ie GDP per capita, divide the GDP of the territory concerned by the number of its inhabitants.
Economic activity .-is the faculty that man has to work on things in nature to apply to the satisfaction of their needs, and is manifested by the whole order of the efforts and hard work to achieve that goal.
The activity is one, as one man’s end, and only we can make it class and distinction, calling it a moral, scientific and economic, etc. After having decomposed the total human fate in as many different aspects. This consideration is important because it shows the error of those who claim that economic acts are outside the general laws of activity and governed by a unique principle: profit, interest, etc.-economic activity, as addressed to a particular purpose, has settled into its application to the terms thereof, but the difference or variety of development does not touch, can not alter what is fundamental and relates to the subject and criterion of all human behavior.
Economic activity is subordinated to reason, is free, responsible, legitimate phone is the idea of absolute good applied to the order of material goods, and must be exercised with the sanction and the consent of the religious principle of moral duty, legal obligation and knowledge científico.-The self-love, interest and convenience are, here as always, nothing more than secondary principles.
The natural laws that govern the activity, not an efficiency gain special or different character, when it refers to the economic order are not fatal, not run by themselves, remain voluntary compliance and not enough to invoke them, but it is necessary obedecerlas. Economy-why not be reduced to the investigation of those laws to be asked to let them do, rather, is the main mission of our science in making the life accommodate to natural laws, determining what should be done to meet them.
Agio speculation . – Speculation, which is to negotiate using the swings and differences in the prices of any class of goods, as well as cash, documents of credit and debt securities públic. He says especially the remuneration payable in different currencies and exchange for the banknotes of the Bank for cash.
Savings .-is a form of employment or consumption of wealth, which is not to apply the satisfaction of current needs only part of the benefit or compensation earned in the industry, devoting the rest to increase the means available for new productions and to the care of future needs.
Consideration of the future, man’s privilege over all other finite beings is the foundation of the virtue of saving, which equates to the economic order of sobriety and prudence ..
Rental – Proponenn some economists this word to mean, generally, the remuneration of capital or is the goal that they perceive on the loan, but writers want it to mean only that corresponds to compensation as a capital of what are called fixed.
Since the use and the distinction distinguishes naturally between the remuneration of fixed capital and working capital, it seems only logical to adopt a generic, should be of interest to designate the price paid for the use of capital under any form, then applying the rental or lease for fixed capital-land, machines, etc., and the revenue-to-money circulating capital, raw materials, etc.
It’s called economic activity to any process by which we obtain products, goods and services that meet our needs.
Economic activities are those that allow the generation of wealth within a community (city, region, country) through the extraction, processing and distribution of natural resources or some service , having as its goal the satisfaction of human needs.
Each community is that their resources are limited and therefore to meet these needs must make a choice that incorporates an opportunity cost .
The economic activities cover three stages: production , distribution and consumption .
As the production depends on consumption, economics analyzes the behavior of consumers.
Some economic activities are agriculture , the livestock , the industry , the trade , the communications , among others.
The countries are used specifically in an economic activity which allows to classify, according to production capacity and efficiency of such activity will generate wealth.
