All around you, business is happening constantly, in ways large and small. But the visible face of business, from McDonald\u2019s to Microsoft, is only part of the picture. The real art and science of business begins with the human imagination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are a few business stories that might surprise you:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Bill Bowerman, the co-founder of Nike, got his first shoe idea after staring at a waffle iron.<\/li>\n<li>Worried about telling his wife he owed $40 on an <i>Apollo 13<\/i> video rental, Reed Hastings wondered why movie rentals didn\u2019t work like health clubs, with a flat fee for use. He went on to found Netflix.<\/li>\n<li>By working with its private-label suppliers to redesign the packaging of some 300 toys, Wal-Mart saved more than 3,800 trees and 1,000 barrels of oil \u2013 and more than $2.4 million a year in freight costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The business world is where ideas become actualities\u2500and that is everywhere, affecting everyone.
