10 formas de hundir una empresa

Por casualidad, hoy he topado con un post antiguo en The Entrepreneurial Mind que trata de las 10 razones o formas de hundir una empresa (Top 10 reasons That Businesses Fail). Realmente nos viene que ni a proposito para reanudar nuestras “Lecciones para ser Gurú” en las que pretendemos exponer el comportamiento en los negocios de aquellos que se creen “Gurús”…Estás 10 formas de hundir una empresa, realmente podrían formar parte de los 10 mandamientos del “buen Gurú”…y creo que por si solas explican una realidad presente desgraciadamente en demasiadas empresas…

10. Over-expansion. The need to get there first or to demonstrate revenue growth to anxious investors leads businesses to grow too fast.

9. Poor Capital Structure. Companies take on too much debt….Enough said!

8. Failure to Control the Controllable Costs. Businesses spend down the initial cash before it is flowing in at a positive rate.

7. Failure to Prepare for Volatility of Uncontrollable Costs. For example, energy, materials, labor, or insurance.

6. Add New Products or Divisions that Drag Down the Profitable Ones

5. Poor Internal Controls and Execution — customer service, accounting controls, theft, fraud

4. Poorly Designed Business Model

3. Reliance on Critical Financing that Dries Up

2. Failure to Adapt to a Changing Market

AND THE #1 REASON? Management in Complete Denial….
