Company's board of director should be well educated and trained to what to do or how to think if things goes wrong in the future. Once a year, they think of a problem hitting the company's main factory such as fire, then they have to think of a way to get business back to normal in a short time.

Well said that a company can survive for 100 years if it defends to the changes in the market and competitors by following the principles of immune system but what about bringing changes in the market and creating challenges for the fellow competitors?

Basic risk management and application of Ansoff's matrix protect larger companies from complacency and stagnation. Where companies go wrong is when they begin to apply black and white bureaucratic management styles that are designed only to appease stakeholders and do not consider long term economic security.

Sounds like he's advocating anti-competitive behaviour and monopolization of certain markets. Companies are supposed to fail / be disrupted. The consumer loses if they're allowed to acquire potential rivals early and for cheap. Eg Facebook shouldn't have been allowed to buy Whatsapp or Instagram.

I think his idea is good but seems a bit incomplete. Management of people, not just systems, plays a large role in the success of businesses. And greater still, the product itself matters too. I don't see where these two very important aspects fit into his model. Without either of these two things, you still have no business.

@chriscfedrizzi 2 жыл бұрын

People and products are systems, that's why you don't see it. Search for Systems Thinking to explore it, I really recommend it.
