Should You Start a New Business or Go the Franchising Route

  By

Starting a business is a huge risk, but the payoff could be huge if your business succeeds. However, many are wary about starting a business from scratch because they think that it’s riskier compared with going into the franchising business. Some people think that buying a franchise is more advisable because there’s an established market. There are benefits of starting your own business from the ground up; for instance, you don’t have to worry about franchising fees or royalties. However, you might have to work extra hard before you get significant return on investment. This could be a huge disadvantage. This is not to say that it’s guaranteed that you’ll get rich instantly with a business franchise; it’s like any type of business, so this means there are huge risks as well. The difference is the fact that you’ll be working with a business that has a reputation and a customer base. Some people think profit from franchising is considerable because you’ll be working on a tried and tested business idea. You don’t have to work too hard on increasing brand awareness because people are also more familiar with the products or services that you offer. Aside from the potential profit, starting a franchise gives you more flexible hours. You can now have more free time to spend with your family and improve your lifestyle. If you are not sure whether or not you should start a new business or invest on an established one, you could consult a business coach. These people can tell a clearer picture and inform you about the risks and rewards of choosing either one. If you choose to buy a franchise, make sure that you read the company profile and see if you’ll have greater return on investment with it. Careful research goes a long way, and you could lessen the risk by choosing a franchise that’s under an industry that you’re more familiar with. If you want to try your luck on a new business, you should research on market trends and try to offer something new. There are advantages and disadvantages of starting a new business or buying a franchise. You need to assess your particular situation and see which one is more suitable so that you can be successful.

Accelerate Innovation Programs Leveraging Enterprise Collaboration And Social Tools

  By

Remember the “Suggestion Box” ? It wasa platform where we
could voice and share our ideas and creative inputs. The words “voice”
and “share” is of utmost importance when it comes to idea sharing. We
have shifted from the physical suggestion boxes to innovative web tools
that collate ideas from employees and customers round the globe. Today
enterprises from LG Electronics to U.S. Transportation Safety Authority
use the web for ideation to improve their products and business.

Idea management thus has taken center stage and is
crucial for organizations aiming to attain a competitive edge over
others. Furthermore, the collaboration landscape too is no more about
teams working in silos to fulfill specific goals and objectives. It is
expanding across enterprises fostering partnership and team work amidst
employees, who might have worked single handedly before. The main reason
behind this shift is, to positively encourage a company to forsake
its”need to know” approach and adopt a “need to share” culture. This
promotes free flow of information and communication amongst employees.
