Managing Corporations & Learning from Evolutionary History

Raashid Saiyed — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 05:02:50 +0000

Despite recognition accorded to Corporations as “entities” and the preferential tax treatments over “natural” entities, the obsession on cash flows and surpluses relegates the corporate evolution to “Hunter-Gatherer” stage. If cash flow and surplus generation is be all and end all of creating corporations then they are “tools” and not “entities”.

NEW BRANDS as INFANTS

Raashid Saiyed — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 08:58:04 +0000

Whereas no parent would think of trying to make their child earn its keep it is not unusual for corporate think to extract cash flows out of infant brands instead of nourishing the brand and build its strength. The “parental investment” think is at times nonexistent. The “child labour” that ensues results in a “malnourished -commoditized” brand without any opportunity for “self actualization”.

” WE THE PEOPLE” !!! REALLY???

Raashid Saiyed — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 04:42:44 +0000

Shouldn’t “We the people” have given ourselves the rights to public social security measures including a public pension indexed to cost of living when the Government as well as the Opposition is of – by and for the people?
Why are we compelling “The Common Man” to play and assume market risks even if he merely seeks to secure a “common minimum” retirement for two?
Why haven’t we given ourselves the fundamental right to a “dignified old age”? Are we being too magnanimous???

WHERE ARE THE GIVE AWAY KINGS & QUEENS?

Raashid Saiyed — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:21:13 +0000

Why is it that we as a world society glorify the accumulation instinct? Would it not be good for society if “such” lists comprised of people who “give away”? Instead of ‘ net worth’ by accumulation we could perhaps measure and publish ‘CUMULATIVE WORTH’ based on an individuals cumulative “giveaways” of wealth, opportunities, advise, LOVE, TIME, etc.
