Scott Young's Ultra Learning Technique

Image
Scott Young's MIT Challenge, where he utilized Ultra Learning. Before Scott Young became famous for his 'Ultra Learning' book and rose to his success. He first graduated from a Canadian university with a degree in business. But he said that Scott actually wanted to study computer science. But he was on the verge of getting a degree. Now, I couldn't change my major. ‘Should I major in computer science again?’ ‘Four years of time and paying the expensive tuition again?’ "It didn't appeal to me at all. There was no time or money." He had to find some other way. Then Scott discovered it. "It was a video of MIT's curriculum and lectures that were released for free." "I was also able to take the exam online." "I may not be able to get a degree, but I have decided to study with the goal of completing all subjects and passing all exams." Scott's purpose was to learn. Because of this one specific purpose. Scott's learning p...

How to Analyze Business Structure and Predict Profits?

On How to Analyze your Business Structure, What does 'Profit' and 'Growth' Mean to Startups? Predicting your profits are important , but first, you'll need to analyze and organize your business structure/ Of course, there are some changes in the perception of startups that succeed with new strategies. One of them is 'profit'. Rather than going through a rigorous review as in the past, it has become a trend to grow a business by repeating small failures and successes. The 'profit' of a company is no longer considered as important. In the process of expanding the market in the early days, it was natural to accept the loss and accumulation of losses. Rather than slowing the growth rate by making small profits, I came to pursue a strategy to expand the business bigger and wider and take profits later. The business environment is changing, but there are facts that startups should be aware of. The Essence of a Company is 'Creating Profit'. The stra...

How to Analyze your Profits Margin in your Business. On how to analyze your business profits, the contribution margin is sales minus variable costs. If the contribution margin is negative, you can think of it as a structure in which the more sales you generate, the more you lose. The company needs to fundamentally figure out why the contribution margin is negative. We need to see if each sale is negative because of incorrect pricing, or if the variable cost is incorrectly measured as a temporary promotion. If you don't find the cause, you can't plan to reach the break-even point. It's a project that keeps getting negative no matter how you try, so shouldn't it be done in the first place? If the product has value in the market, the contribution margin will always be greater than zero. After calculating the contribution margin like this, let's compare it with the fixed cost. In the beginning, of course, the contribution margin is small. Fixed costs such as labor costs...

Image
What are the common misunderstandings about startups and their starting journey to become successful? There are many shrouding clouds around startups and their varying success. Some startups fail and eventually become successful, some succeed, and eventually, fail. This is true for this statement: "Innovation by itself by installing a slide? Startups will slip if you just follow them." It's a bit of a provocative statement. Professor Gary Pisano of Harvard Business School conducted an interview with Harvard Business Review on the theme of ' The Cold Truth About Innovative Organizational Culture ' in 2019. It can be said that this is the golden age of startups, where many can become exponentially successful. Not just in business, but also in the job market and the job market. The popularity of startups is steadily increasing among college students’ preference for employment. In the job change market, more and more office workers want to move from large corporation...

The Tabasco Sauce Origin: A LEGENDARY TRADITIONAL FAMILY ENTERPRISE!

Image
  The Family-Owned Company that'll make you thankful for Tabasco Sauce, because its backstory is quite spicy! Ever heard of Tabasco Sauce and its Origin? First of all... When you order pizza, it always comes with hot sauce. Among them, Tabasco sauce is a representative product of hot sauce. A TRADITIONAL FAMILY ENTERPRISE The company that makes this Tabasco Hot Sauce is McIlhenny. Co., a typical family business run by founder Edmund McIlhenny. Without a stock market listing, which is common for large-scale companies, it has remained a thoroughly family business, and all of the shares are owned by Edmund McIlney's descendants. The company even boasts an unusual history of entrusting the management of the company only to family members, except in the mid-1990s, when Vince Pearce, a former P&G graduate, was appointed as CEO. In the sense that it is a family-owned business with all shares held by the family even though it owns global products that can be found around the wor...

Image

Today, we will take a look at where Renault's and PSA's (Peugeot/Citroen)'s future strategies are heading. Renault's 'eWay' and Peugeot's 'Power of Choice' Let's start with Renault. A very important player in Renault's growth strategy is 'Nissan'. The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, an alliance between Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, was established in 1999. Renault and Nissan each own a 40% stake in the joint operation. But in hindsight, Nissan is under the strong influence of Renault. Renault owns about 40% of Nissan's stake, while Nissan's stake in Renault is around 15%. Moreover, French domestic law makes it very difficult to exercise influence as a shareholder. On the surface, it appears to be in an equal position and Nis...

GIC - The Singapore Investment Corporation

  WHAT IS THE GIC - THE SINGAPORE INVESTMENT CORPORATION The Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) is one of the biggest players in the global capital market. First of all, GIC is Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. GIC setted up to organize foreign exchange reserves and fiscal surplus. In other words, it is a fund invested by the government. BACKGROUND HISTORY  It is the first time the Singapore government thought up GIC in the 1970s. During that time, the government of Singapore was making a surplus in the public sector. The financial reserve was steadily increasing. But, there was no agency in charge of this money, so the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) managed the money instead. The Monetary Authority says investing in short-term assets managed the money. The idea was to manage funds from a long-term perspective rather than a slapstick. After accepting Goggen Swee's opinion, then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew established GIC in 1981. Then directly chaired the board of...

What if founder risk and employee risk become similar?

Image
 If there are two major means to solve ‘eatenism’, it would be the life of a founder and the life of an employee. And it’s probably risky to tell the difference between the two lives. [caption id="attachment_4570" align="alignright" width="300"] profit share of boss vs of the employee[/caption] In other words, the founder risk is very high and the employee risk is very low. Of course, on the contrary, the founder’s reward (reward) is very high, and the employee reward is very small. Thus! If you want to do something even if you fail, you can choose the life of a founder, and if you just want to live long and thin, you can choose the life of an office worker. Shall we make a hypothesis here? What if the founder risk is decreasing and the employee risk is increasing recently? “From the point of view of the founder, the risk is decreasing as the business environment is getting better.” “From the point of view of office workers, it is said that the risk is in...

Machine Learning; Surviving as an innovator or a surplus?

Image
  The Era of Great Pressure American economists often refer to the 1950s and 1960s as the era of ' the great compression '. This is because the income disparity between the classes has narrowed dramatically during this period. In other words, it was a booming period. Everyone could be almost equally wealthy and economically equal. How could this be? There may be various reasons, but the most notable is the 'economic structure'. The mass production and consumption system represented by 'Taylor-Fordism' blossomed after World War II. The highly divided and standardized work system created numerous jobs. Also, laid the foundation for equal wealth for all. However, starting in the 1970s and 1980s, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened. It was only 20 times in 1965, but it is said to have exploded to 295 times in 2013. Why did this happen? The Shadow of the Information and Communication Revolution Mainstream American economists talk about changes in the ...
