The global market adds 50 million consumers each year. Is your company ready to take advantages of theses new opportunities?
If Herb Meyer’s prediction of 50 million new consumers per year is accurate, as was his conjecture that the Soviet Union would fall, it may be crucial to get ready to what he labels “the greatest change the world has ever seen”.
The market value of a company should be taken into consideration when making operative decisions, not just when trying to buy or sell it.
Why is it important to know the value of the company?
1. To know how much you should get for your business if someone wants to buy it.
2. Even if not interested in selling, it is important to know if the value of the company rises or falls with the years.
An internet business can be started with relatively low investment, but in order to be successful we need more than just a good idea.
The market is global, distribution costs are minimal, and the only required infrastructure is a computer and an internet connection. These factors – and generally, low entry costs – are very attractive to many entrepreneurs, who dedicate time and resources to create online enterprises.
Nowadays the traditional business model of “lower costs and sell more” must be adjusted with methods that include both economic and social concepts.
In order to adapt to a much more complex reality, we need to include professionals versed in social and political sciences. They will contribute an adequate strategic vision for these new times, to complement the one created by those specialized in economic sciences.
If employees face evaluations with fear or suspicion our organization ends with corrupted, useless results.
Even though all evaluation processes are preceded by traditional warnings such as “we look to improve processes”, “we are not looking for those guilty but to learn from mistakes”, etcetera, the mood in the organization becomes tense, and each of its members focuses on proving the quality of their own work, instead of contributing to improving the company’s processes.
If a business is successful somewhere else, it doesn’t mean it will be automatically successful in our market.
Studying consumption trends in more developed countries is a good source of potential business opportunities. If a product or service is selling well and being profitable in a country, it is likely to be successful in another.
Not everyone agrees anymore that ‘low cost’ services or products are geared to middle income markets.
This concept was born in the air travel industry, and is quickly expanding to other industries, even to companies associated with high income sectors. They are implementing “low cost” strategies, with clearly defined branding strategies, to protect the premium brand. For obvious reasons, the economic crisis has boosted the concept.
If you are older than 50, and envision the survival of your life long company, you must make the effort to understand what’s coming. “Having a clear vision of the future is fundamental for succeeding in business”.
Have you ever invited employees to a meeting just so they wouldn't feel left out? If so, you may be an overcommunicator.
When was the last time you scheduled a meeting and invited eight people instead of the three people who really needed to be there simply because you didn't want anyone to feel left out?
When was the last time you sent a companywide e-mail that said something like, "Hey, attention coffee drinkers: If you finish the pot, make another!" even though there is actually only one person who violates this rule (and she's your co-founder)?
