Business Management Case Study; Mobile Auto Motive Services and Hot Summer Heat
FYI! Desperation style of management is either the result of poor planning, improper forecast, or lack of intestinal fortitude. Desperation is most frequently exhibited in management related to sales, and may result in a panicked pricing response to market conditions or inappropriate berating of sales associates.
Starting and owning your own business can be literally be a dream come true for most new entrepreneurs, unfortunately it can turn into the biggest nightmare in the world too, as over regulation, labor issues and cash flow dilemmas from time to time. Indeed those are some of the most common problems that small businesses face in America. Of course there are other issues as well and often, new entrants into business do not consider them, yet find out that they can be over bearing. Let us look at a case study shall we? A new entrepreneur wishes to start a mobile oil change business. He lines up all the supplies, waste oil removal vendors, trains employees, markets to customers and off he goes. Next the summer heat comes and no one wishes to work. Customers complain of sweat dripped into their cars and employees are hard to keep. Additionally the unemployment rate in the county dips and grows closer to the national average each year of 4.9%. This scenario is to be considered and one entrepreneur wishing to start a mobile oil change business states: FYI! A solid understanding and vigilant re-education in the discipline, the science, and the are of project management and it’s key knowledge and practice areas.
“The summer heat here is tuff, I’m from New York and after 9-years I still can’t get used to it (it is not dry heat, but it is hotter than all get out). You just have to ‘SWEAT IT OUT” only options are mornings and evenings like the construction crews.” Yes, that is what our teams have done in Mesa, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tucson, Palm Desert, etc. That is about all you can do, rough it, get tough with it, drink 1-2 gallons of water a day and stay away from the 11am-3 pm Shift. Better to work Wal-Mart in the Air Conditioning? You see when making executive business decisions for a small or large business you need to consider the reality of the situation and all the details, so consider this in 2006. FYI! Effective family companies establish financial and governance structures that separate family issues from businesses use. They strive for cash flow and value growth not just a business growth.
