    Many people believe that in order to succeed in a business that is having difficulties, it is important to focus on a particular area in order to be better productive in each of them, and be able to reach the goal. Instead, Goldratt and Jonah demonstrates that is important to focus on the company as a whole, but at the same time, it shows that it is incorrectly to only focus in an specific manufacturing department, or one plant, or a department within the plant, because people should not be concerned in local optimums.

  • Electric Utility Industry In The Late 1800s And Early 1900's

    676 Words  | 2 Pages

    The electric utility industry was chaotic in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. There were people competing to generate and distribute electricity within their own cities, causing a huge excess of wires running through the streets. The competition developed to become quite intense, where people would attempt to cut prices to undersell neighboring utilities, and neighbors would reciprocate price cuts until nobody was making a good profit. Policy makers began to think the industry was a natural monopoly, in which it would be most economically efficient to have one or few entities run the electric industry. At the time, I think it was justified to implement state regulation of electric utilities because of the high overlap in infrastructure, the ruinous competition between firms, and it moved us closer to an economically optimal solution.

    We learned a lot of things in this course, but I think the most important lesson I learned is that it’s not easy to be an entrepreneur. I was surprised to hear in the first class that 80% of startups fail, but after reading The Art of Start and E-myth Revisited I understood why this happens more often than one might expects. Some people start their own businesses for the wrong reason and some start with wrong mindset. I’ve always thought that if someone has a brilliant business idea and hardworking they will succeed and grow their business. However, now I know that there are many things to consider before starting any business. In fact, there are many strategies that an entrepreneur could follow to achieve success, such as know your customers, work “on” the business, and how
