Some Chemist told me once that all popular medicines with artificial vitamins are not worth the paper it is written on. Being on my own and also being mum tought me that medicines in most cases encumber domestic budget. I wrote down every chemist expenses and from September 2014 till February 2015 I lost extremely big amount of money. But how to avoid it if my child went to nursery and he is permanently sick? I launched some changes in our life. I give below important ingredients to avoid sicknesses.


HONEY. Mortals ambrosia! BUT remember! High temperatures kills what is the most important in honey, so keep it out from oven, hot water etc if you expect miracles. I truly recommend warm milk with honey:)

• GARLIC. Smash it, taste it, use it . Everywhere. Luciano's grandfather lived about 90 years. Until 86 he looked really well. When somebody asked him about his secret he was answering: "Young women and garlic with honey on every breakfast".  

•  CRANBERRY. I love it. Especially, my homemade mousse with joghurt. Did you know how many nourishments has cranberry?  

•   VITAMINS COCTAILS. I've got my two favourites. Parsley and khale cocctails. Tasty, healthy and diet.

MY REFLECTION ABOUT "HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW" ARTICLE

MY REFLECTION ABOUT "HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW" ARTICLE

 “Finding the right Path”

by Lauren Capron and Will Mitchell^*

”Most companies default to the same approach for executing each new strategy “¹- we read. Authors of article shows how to acquire a new resources due to new strategies. Should Executives use internal resources, external or take some advantages of agreement and relationships?

            Research declared that surprisingly in about 162 telecom companies only one-third uses every methods capable for them². It appears that implementation of new technologies causes a problems like difficulties in conversion or lack of specific peoples or skills. However deciding whether to develop resources internally or externally, managers should absolutely consider every possibility not only of luck, but in particular lack of misfortune. Authors shows three points to cogitate. They provide a framework to help become a more strategic decision maker in acquiring resources.

           

The first question is: “Do you already have relevant resources?”³ Developing new resources externally can be to hurt for the company. Internally building resources base can be more successful. You have to adopt what you already have and what you possess. It is easier to invest specific in fields in your company. Notwithstanding, using general insights can let you string resources, but all processess must be established during the change. It can bring you failure in your own hand. Smart companies revisit the questions more and more to entertain profits and looses.

The second question is: „Do you and your provider have shared understanding of value?”⁴ Externall licensed agreement let you avoid many problems with which you could struggle in internal solutions. Still the main thing is if you share the same goals due to value. Exchange of resources has unquantiffiable effects. Also, maintaning coordination of exchange is long process, involving your resources. What you need before then is to have already certain competencies to aquire new technology effectively. What is more, you should consider a kind of alliancess, but if posibble, the simple ones. Laurence Capron and Will Mitchell written that „alliances are more effective when relatively few people and organizational units from each need to work together co coordinate the joint activities.”⁵

Third question is: „How deeply involved do you have to be with your partner?”⁶

What to do if partnerships do not brings effects? Too much coordinations in a long period mustn’t work effectively. You can consider M&A but it should be the final choice, because of overall risk. Remember to not be overloaded with excess bagage in long time period. Take example form companies like Johnson&Johnson, use what you need and shed the margin. Also, don’t be focused on one mode, because you can become target yourself. Authors also gives an extra framemark to analyse. (picture nr. 1 from Harvard Business Review, 2010, July-August, page 106)

                       

Above articule can be real crib sheet to managerial decisions. Using internal and external resources is interesting and preveiling theme. Nowadays, technology is developing so fast, that executives must be concentrated on searching and keeping the goals by making a good decisions due to company products and supplies.There is no golden mean for every company. The point is to find the best solutions for your business, even if you have to bind every possible combination of resources aquiring methods.

            Due to my experience, internal aquring resources is the easiest one. I worked in two similiar companies, where managers applied own built IT system. There where problems with it, but having people who built the system was easy enough to prevent failure. What is more, employees had big knowledge, so value of customer service and preventing mistakes, in the beginning, was at the highest level. If there was some mistakes, IT workers could fixed the problem in one day. For company it was economical and for employees, the way to better identity with employer (highest level of integrity with employeer tolls). The main reason to shed the system was it capacity, which couldn’t stand fast development and growth of amount of customers. Also, new technologies can’t be adapted to informatic 13 years old basis. In Telecommniaction company every day, every month, brings changes. Executives had to make decision about investing in new technology, popular at the market. CRM programms are used by many others companies, so the best exponent to take a vote is that the other are succesfully using it.

However the idea was good, purposes also, today is the second year of „implementation”. The first approach failed and brought some looses. Second, where executives knows, how to avoid illogical expenses, is still in progress. Process absorb work of at least one employee for one department in a week, so about 50 people fall 1600 hours of work. Furthermore every employee has extra task to do. Additionally, the company needs to pay licenses and certificates, service expenses and still take on a board this 1600 hours of shed work, which can cause declining of customer service quality.

In my opinion, the three points showed by Laurence Capron and Will Mitchel are truly important. Especially, that I know how it looks on the inside of company. Executives must always take decisions based on experience and properly calculated. Sometimes using internal resources might be not ideal idea, but some loopholes can be easily managed and big looses not. In the other hand, when there is an occasion to make an effort which lead to success, we can sacrifice something.

Building the great startegy should let us to swim with the tide. It have to keep some flexibility to adjust ad hoc some changes and searching resources, to keep up.
