Entrepreneurship and “The Recession Saga"

Recession cloud has been dominating the business scene for some time. Future predictions don’t see so much change in the near time. Businesses no matter big or small are feeling the pinch and always thinking about how to get them out of this slump. Ever since the realization of the big recession, things have never been the same again. A lot of things have been happening and only few have bear fruit if any. Stimulus packages to cost cutting and restructuring are some of the major changes made to make things roll back again. Entrepreneurs are also in deep trouble as sales have not been even near the mark since long. Change has been through our businesses and should be taken as an emergency situation. Entrepreneurs though very enthusiastic about their businesses but they should also keep in mind those cash flows are hard to come by so money should be spent in a wise manner. Only necessary expansions should be carried out. Once the change is realized, it will easier to determine the future course of action. It must be noted that revenue generation happens through the contribution of different departments. Secondly an approach that is sustainable in the longer run should be adopted.

Recession is a situation we all are facing globally, but we also know that different regions have different scales of recession. One size doesn’t fit all is the case. Problems are different, so are the solutions. Localized approach should be used to determine what a particular business is facing and try to first eliminate those problems. We cannot look at the same string of restructuring and downsizing for example. We have different labor laws and union’s negotiation powers. Some of these problems arising from recession are indirectly affecting our business while others pinching our profits. Priority should be given to the ones that are directly influencing the profit making ability, for long term survivability and then the factors affecting the firm indirectly should be made accountable. One other thing that we always forget is that recession has different meanings for different countries and their respective business organizations. There may be countries badly affected by the recession and then other countries and their business would have almost no effect on their businesses. Recession is a scenario which every entrepreneur should be worried about and communicate it through its hierarchy. It is must for the employees to be communicated regarding the costs the company is paying to retain them and how can they be effective to help the company to get out of this tricky situation. So if you are ready to take the recession seriously and are a proactive entrepreneur then you don’t have to worry. On the other hand if you think nothing bad happening can affect you then think twice about the big corporations who are ceasing to exit in months’ time.
