[Column] 5 Small businesses are organizations full of "no's."
I would like to introduce a column article.
An organization is a group of individuals who share the same mindset, aiming to share goals, devise strategies for implementation, and act according to individual roles based on rules and standards. Most organizations are cohesive because they are composed of people with similar values. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are an exception. SMEs can be likened to a "human zoo." While people happen to work in the same workplace, their values may differ significantly, their goals may be scattered, and they may be uncertain about the direction they should take. It is a collection of various individuals, resembling a human zoo. SMEs are characterized by a lack of people, resources, money, and management—essentially a state of deprivation. Furthermore, they operate under a system where individuals often take on multiple roles, which prevents a deep exploration of the organization's functions, leading to daily struggles. The structural balance of the organization is disrupted, making it difficult to accomplish even the most basic tasks. Although they are working hard, the way they are exerting effort is misaligned, resulting in outcomes that do not meet expectations. The foundation of SMEs is thus fragile. Due to this weak foundation, SMEs operate with chronic issues, managing the company while grappling with various ailments.
