Organizations faced problems all the time and problems are normal to an organization. It is the duty of managers to solve both minor and major problems in the organization. Policies and other control methods are in place but problems still occur, all managers at all levels of the organization have experienced this. The question what is causing the problem? Where does it come from? Sometimes there are unsolved problems of an organization that made people in charge thought of it as something impossible that can happen.
the infiltration of pressure and interest groups in an organization makes the project and program implementation of the organization difficult. Before we continue I will define pressure groups and interest groups according to their own simple definition in the dictionary. An interest group according to the dictionary is a group of people that seeks to influence public policy based on a particular common interest or concern and a pressure group is a group that tries to influence public policy in the interest of a particular cause. When the presence of these two groups in an organization is present the organization will have difficulty in implementing its program and project because this group is the only concern in their own interests. This group will oppose if the project and programs that are being implemented are not aligned with their interests and cause.No matter how good and great the projects and programs of an organization if it is opposed in some parts of the level of organization, it will not materialize. That is why the popular saying of "it is not what you know, it is whom you know " in other words, you can't find a job if you are not affiliated with a certain organization or individuals cant get a good position in an organization because this group will favor their members for power in lobbying their own interest. These practices have infected organizations making politics very powerful in workplaces. Organizations are being used for their own selfish interests. In some organizations, they are already in control. Sad but true because supposedly opportunities are equal in an organization and the interest of the organization should be the priority. Individual interests are normal because people work to satisfy their needs aligning the interest of employees and the organization will create harmony in the organization. Key Takeaway The existence of any organization today both non-profit, profit, and government organizations are good putting the interest of people first rather than there own selfish interest. However, it is being tarnished with pressure and interest group that focuses on its own interest to protect and preserve their interest. The stronghold of politics in organizations today is not anymore about the interest of the organization, it is the interest of different pressure groups and interest groups that makes the organization bend on its knees and not able to push through there own interest that is for the benefit of the people in the society. Aligning the interest of these groups with organization interest will be difficult and make the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization decrease in some level. The freedom of creating an organization may have brought positive effects to society because it is a form of social control however the negative effect is much bigger than what I have expected it to be. Imagine an organization free from interest and pressure groups perhaps it is easy to manage and run it. If only policy was created to protect freedom perhaps the development of society is faster than it is now. Progress and development are difficult to achieve because of some of the interpretations of policies that do not align with progress and development.

The pandemic's effect on some businesses was devastating, while to other companies, it was good because it paved the way for their business to grow. The pandemic is not yet over, and companies should continue to thrive in this kind of situation. There are new businesses that were created to address the problems created by the pandemic. Every company in the world is a continuing struggle and to survive during this time. Let me open this year for aspiring entrepreneurs of all ages that want to take advantage of the business opportunities this 2021. The time is always right to start a business, but the question will remain on what you need to become a successful entrepreneur in your chosen business.
You only need two things to start a business that you are passionate about today that will make you successful today and in the future. These are the two things that are always there. Still, you failed to see because you were so busy counting how much money you will be earning in your planned business; think of it as already given when you want to start a business you don't have to focus on it since there are a lot of things to do in starting a business. Starting a business is not an easy job; it requires a lot of effort, time, and money for you to be able to run a business. It is no joke your life, loaned money from the bank, or your capital is at stake; otherwise, you will drown in the sea of debt and poverty in the future. Innovation Mindset There are so many businesses in your place and other places that you will be competing with. It is not easy to compete with big and established entrepreneurs because they have the largest market share. If you observe, business niches are all the same because they copy from one business to another and expect that your business will be copied, and perhaps it will be a better copy than your business. Having an innovation mindset will set you from present and future competitors because you got what it takes to innovate your products or services; remember that humans and other living things were created to replicate, so it is in everyone's instinct to copy. Innovation will be the name of the game today, and if you don't know how to innovate, your business will surely die faster than what you expected because your competitors will eat it. This pandemic is evidence that the external environment of business keeps changing all the time, and to adapt to it, you must know how, when, what, and where to innovate your products and services. Risk-Taking Starting a business must be driven by marketing, product, business, operation, research coupled with factual and raw data to have accurate, relevant, and reliable business decisions. Like what I always say in my entrepreneurship [ classes starting a business is not as easy as what you might think it is based on what you did or what you saw before. Most small, medium, and large businesses fail because of a lack of research information about the business. It is essential to have data that you should analyze before deciding to start a business. Risk-taking is a popular word in entrepreneurship. A better word to describe this is calculated risk-taking because you need to collect and analyze data before starting your own business. There are so many strategies and techniques in starting a business, but for now, I will leave you with the word calculated risk-taking for you to know the advantages and disadvantages of your startup based on relevant and reliable data that can be used as the basis for your business decisions in starting a business. Key Takeaway Starting a business is never easy; it takes a lot of time, effort, and money. The external environment of business is driven by competition and other factors, making it difficult for you to enter into a particular market today. Doing business today is changing, and technology is evolving. The ability to have a mindset of innovation is critical for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start a business to survive and thrive in the market because gone are the days you simply create a business because you want to. A calculated risk-taking is a must when you plan to start your own business today because business failure is just lurking around the corner when you hastily decide on pursuing your business in mind without studying, planning, and researching it first. When you understand and agree that starting a business is difficult, that is the time you know the real meaning and beauty of entrepreneurship. |
