Business Principles
Why are we here? Profit of course!

In business, if you don’t know the basics, you could well find out the hard way. This course will give you the edge in a very competitive environment.      

The meaning of life, in a commercial sense

  • Does ‘survival of the fittest’ say it all?
  • Do good guys ever come first?
  • Does growing bigger mean growing weaker?
  • Should we stick to what we are good at?
  • Is there too much change, for the sake of it?
  • Why do so many new businesses fail?
  • Are people really becoming obsolete?
  • What should our business philosophy be?

Be different, or better, or both

  • Do gimmicks work?
  • How important is a strong identity?
  • Should a business reinvent itself from time to time?
  • How can we ‘see ourselves as others see us’?
  • What can we learn from our competitors?
  • How can we make best use of feedback?
  • What type of market research offers the best value?

What to do when the going gets tough

  • Are all difficulties avoidable?
  • How can we recognise the warning signs?
  • How can we avoid over-reaction?
  • When should I communicate bad news?
  • Is it better to act quickly or ride the storm?
  • Is it a useful time to reassess?
  • How can we come through it even stronger?
