I've got 54 post-it notes on my wall on building a community in downtown Las Vegas, says Tony Hsieh. The founder of Zappos, an online shoe retailer now owned by Amazon, is turning the city's old town hall into its new campus, and part of Mr Hsieh's strategy is to engage his staff in helping to revive what was until recently an archetypal run-down urban area, ignored by the millions of tourists who visit Sin City's pleasure palaces. The post-it notes are ideas--how to improve the food scene, get a farmers' market, encourage the arts, build a hackers' space--from Zappos employees, a growing number of whom have moved into the area well ahead of the campus opening in 2013. Reviving downtown Las Vegas is not an act of corporate social responsibility but part of a strategy to increase his firm's long-term profitability, insists Mr Hsieh. This philosophy is taking hold in many of the world's leading firms as they engage in an increasingly fierce war for talent.
