SURF THIS: Custom cards: A gift that has you written all over it

December 3, 2007

I was in Texas a couple of weeks ago addressing a marketing conference organized by Strategic Fulfillment Group. The room was full of smart, progressive marketing minds, all sharing ideas about how to best address their respective customers. The focus of my presentation was building better online shopping environments, so we were all pretty well entrenched in the concepts, methods, and trends of selling online. Yet even this esteemed company didn’t come up with the innovative idea that Starbucks would…

Gatorade inventor’s death recalls local links: Stokely-Van Camp launched sports drink here in 1960s

December 3, 2007

Gatorade’s inventor, Dr. J. Robert Cade, who died Nov. 27 in Gainesville, Fla., left a legacy in Indianapolis that stretches back four decades to the birth of the multibillion-dollar sports drink industry. The invention became a blockbuster product for an Indianapolis-based company and spawned the creation of an Indianapolis-based trust that has doled out tens of millions of dollars in royalties to inventors and other beneficiaries. The city continues to get an economic jolt from Gatorade, with nearly 500 local…

November 21, 2007

An insulin manufacturing plant that Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co. began building in Prince William County, Va., has been acquired by Covance Inc. for an undisclosed price.

Medco likes Daniels, ‘entrepreneurial spirit’

November 14, 2007

Gov. Mitch Daniels’ personal involvement and the “entrepreneurial spirit” of the Indiana Economic Development Corp. were among the reasons Medco Health Solutions announced Nov. 12 that it had chosen the Indianapolis area over Louisville for the location of a $150 million pharmaceutical distribution center. The sentiment was expressed by Medco President Kenneth Klepper in The […]

Ballard’s sketchy agenda fuels unease

November 12, 2007

The afternoon after Greg Ballard’s shocking victory at the polls, the mood was sober at Marion County Republican headquarters.
Jubilation had given way to reality. Although mayor-elect Ballard described himself “as tired as a guy could get,” he has
no time for a break. And what the former U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel will do is largely a mystery.

Sluggish housing market a blow to some contractors: Residential crews seek commercial jobs to stay busy

November 5, 2007

The number of crews Robert Hoffman employs to frame new homes has dwindled from 14 to four, and could drop even more if the residential construction market continues to sputter. But the owner of Hoffman Framework Inc. in North Salem, a tiny town in western Hendricks County, is not about to let his 12-year-old business wither away. Instead, he’s expecting to recover by making the leap to the much more vibrant commercial sector, where he can use his experience framing…

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: It’s time to use mass-appraisal model on state’s homes

November 5, 2007

In the 10 years since Indiana’s property-appraisal system was ruled unconstitutional, taxpayers have spent perhaps $1 billion to remedy the situation. That’s more than $350 per household, and more than we spend on environmental protection each year. “Wowser” is the only printable exclamation I can muster. Among other things, Gov. Mitch Daniels’ tax plan proposes the elimination of the township assessors (there are 1,008 offices statewide). According to a 2004 Chamber of Commerce study, streamlining the system would result in…

Indianapolis has lost another headquarters.

Midwest Mole tunnels into large local projects: East-side company in unusual niche makes mark

November 5, 2007

In the face of a slumping local economy in the early 1980s, several national construction firms packed up and left Indianapolis. One locally based salesman, Len Liotti, was given a choice-move to St. Louis along with his job at tunneling contractor Affholder Inc., or set out on his own. Seeing the void the big players would create when leaving, Liotti started Midwest Mole Inc. in 1982 to fill it. Twenty-five years later, the privately held firm is thriving thanks to…

Angie’s List CEO wanted shot at WellPoint’s Zagat deal

October 29, 2007

WellPoint Inc. and Angie’s List are both racing to launch doctor-rating services early next year. But Angie’s List is already
sour over Well-Point’s decision to partner with New York-based Zagat Survey LLC for its doctor-rating service, apparently
without talking to Angie’s List.

IU business incubator partners with Siberian school: Reciprocal visits could lead to high-tech opportunities

October 15, 2007

But this was the first time he ever delivered the speech in Siberia. The audience-a group of business and academic leaders-ultimately could help Hoosiers access a treasure-trove of Russian technologies. “They have a lot of…
