Key takeaways — Abundance
- ✓ Gamitin ang Incentive Prizes at Gamification upang pabilisin ang pananaliksik at pag-unlad ng iyong organisasyon, na nag-aakit sa pinakamahusay na problem-solvers mula sa hindi tradisyunal na mga larangan sa iyong mga stratehikong hamon.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang Dematerialization, na nagpapakita na ang teknolohiya ay nagbibigay-daan upang makapaghatid ng mga serbisyong may mataas na halaga (tulad ng kamera o GPS) na halos walang karagdagang gastos sa pamamagitan ng pag-transform nito sa software.
- ✓ Ituon ang misyon ng iyong organisasyon sa Pagsusulusyon sa Malalaking Hamon, na nagtutugma sa paglago ng iyong kumpanya sa mga pinaka-urgent na pangangailangan ng 'Rising Billion' para sa isang malakihang estratehikong epekto.
Key takeaways — The Intelligent Investor
- ✓ Isabuhay ang prinsipyo ng Margin of Safety sa bawat pamumuhunan, na nangangahulugang bibili ka ng mga ari-arian na may malaking discount sa kanilang tunay na halaga upang maprotektahan laban sa posibleng pagkalugi.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Mr. Market sa iyong pabor sa pamamagitan ng pagbili kapag siya ay makulit na pessimistic at pagbebenta kapag siya ay sobra-sobrang optimistic, sa halip na sundin ang emosyon niya.
- ✓ Isabagay ang pananaw ng isang Defensive Investor, na nakatuon sa sistematikong pagpili ng mataas na kalidad na mga negosyo na undervalued at pagpapanatili ng isang balanseng, diversified na portfolio.
