Alvy Ray Smith,
executive vice president and co-founder
of PIXAR and the CEO and co-founder of
Altamira Software Corporation, offers
words of wisdom Friday to NMSU students
on how to open and operate two
companies. "Another art form that you
have to master when starting a business
is the art of negotiation. ... They will
squeeze you until you cry help and
that's when the deal gets made," Smith
said.
