2012世界末日9大預兆

商界當紅炸子雞都是小年輕

????Facebook、Twitter、團購網站Groupon、社交游戲公司Zynga、商務社交網絡LinkedIn和點評網站Yelp都是如今炙手可熱的科技公司，而且這份名單還在不斷擴容，但這些公司掌門人的年齡卻沒有呈現上升的趨勢：馬克?扎克伯克（Facebook即將進行首次公開募股：估值有望達到1,000億美元）不再是個籍籍無名的名字，而他2011年只有27歲；Groupon的CEO安德魯?梅森（首次公開募股籌資7億美元）2011年也是27歲；Zynga公司于2011年12月上市，馬克?平卡斯是這家典型的美國藍籌公司的CEO。雖然他已經45歲，仍然是較為年輕的CEO。【想想吧：美國保險公司伯克希爾?哈撒韋公司（Berkshire Hathaway）的沃倫?巴菲特已是82歲高齡、福特公司（Ford）前CEO艾倫?穆拉利已經66歲了，埃克森美孚公司（ExxonMobil）CEO雷克斯?蒂爾納森也60歲了。】面對現實吧，如今商界的重磅新聞都是來源于這些新生力量，而他們的掌門人都是些聽著綠日樂隊（Green Day）的歌曲長大的年輕人。

The hottest CEOs are very, very young

????Facebook. Twitter. Groupon. Zynga. LinkedIn. Yelp. The list keeps growing, but the ages don't. Mark Zuckerberg (impending Facebook IPO: shooting for a $100 billion valuation), no longer a new name to anyone, is still only 27. Andrew Mason, CEO of Groupon (which raised $700 million for its IPO), is 27 as well. Zynga, which went public in December, is helmed by Mark Pincus, who even at 45 is on the young side for what was, until recently, the prototypical American blue-chip company CEO. (Think Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway, 82, ex-Ford CEO Alan Mulally, 66, or ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, 60.) Let's face it: the biggest, buzziest business news is continually coming from companies that are helmed by people who listened to Green Day in middle school.
