Business Ideas for today…General Thoughts

With the advent of fast transportation, mass sharing of information of ideas, globalisation has taken hold strong and fast. The actions of centralisation (coordinating and concentration of resources and production) and industrialisationn (ways to produce or process more in shorter periods) has devastating impact on our more basic needs in our day to day activities.

Food and shelter used to be the most important. Hence farming (growing of food either as crops or even sustainable production of meat) grew in leaps and bounds, by way of genetic modification starting out initially as more efficient production methods. Even utilising selection methods for what was thought of as better reproduction and more.

Learning methods also has changed from learning passed down from generation to generation, to apprenticeship till master craftsman, to specific learning institutions.

A lot of emphasis has been placed on elevating the status via education which was normally thought of as a formal education, that a lot of long learned knowledge has been lost by lack of recording, recognition of alternatives or even categorising as negative knowledge. Hence a lot of loss of resources and skills to meet what a number of cultures deemed as lower activities such as farming, cleaning, road works, gardening etc.

However as time passes and the different phases and methodologies have been adopted and implemented, better understanding of the impact of too much centralisation of resources is understood. (Single currency impact in a multi nation multi govermental balance and result, single currency bench mark in a world nation economy, and many more instances, single country of manufacture)

So after a few decades of merging and centralising of industries and resource production some elements of decentralisation is beginning to take place. Today the back to basics mind set is also coming back as important.

Realisation has come to mind that the smaller scaling such as in the neighbourhood based businesses and smaller business man is still a good model as giant scale businesses also need a lot of supporting roles and services which in reality is not needed when decentralised. Efficiency and cost can actually come down with a higher valuation.

Hence in the coming weeks we shall give some business ideas where a role or a business can be just part of an entire ecosystem with stake holders whom are unique yet still address the masses, similarly as the large corporations are currently creating standard templates and the masses choose the one that suits them the closest.
