The Competitive Playing Field will no longer be Level

Today’s playing field is level because all companies have the same problems

20^th century enterprise management contains many unsolvable problems that are a significant competitive disadvantage. But, the competitive playing field remains level and 20^th century management continues today, because all companies are burdened with the same costs and problems.

No company organizes and manages the actual business. All companies, corporations, and other enterprises use expensive, confusing, hard to maintain, and difficult to manage structures laid over the business. Instead of organizing the business, a rigid organization structure is laid over the business, causing the expense and upheaval of reorganization. Strategy, process, information system, account, asset management, performance management, project management, and other management structures are laid over the business causing business and information complexity and all the unsolvable problems of 20^th century management.

20^th century management does not directly organize the business to provide one integrated structure for all business planning, direction, control, reporting, and governance. Therefore, the 20^th enterprise will suffer significant competitive disadvantage against those who organize and manage the business for 21^st century management.

Business management is now being implemented for breakthrough competitive advantage

The business is defined as “investments in capital as solutions of worth utilized for costs and effectiveness of performance to produce value and quality in results”. Business management directly organizes and manages the business to provide accurate business data and information, modular processing of results, flexibility to quickly change results, focused staff and management direction, managed and minimized capital, managed and maximized results, managed performance costs and effectiveness, precisely defined and governed strategy, capital development for precise benefits and returns, and many other competitive advantages. Business management is now being evaluated and implemented in companies around the world. Business management will commence in 2010, and the 2010’s will be the decade of business management. Managing the company business provides significant advantages over managing the company with 20^th century management. For more details read the article ”Do not manage the Business Enterprise, manage the Enterprise Business” here in 21^st Century Management Magazine.

The future playing field will not be level, as business management eliminates 20^th century management problems

Once companies organize the business for 21^st century management the competitive playing field will no longer be level. Those companies managing the business will minimize performance costs and maximize revenues, profits, strategic value creation, capital development returns, and business flexibility for competitive advantages not possible today. These advantages are explained in the article ”The Breakthrough Advantage of 21^st Century Management” here in 21^st Century Management Magazine.

Will your company enjoy the advantages or suffer the disadvantages?

Business management will affect every company in the world, either the company will manage the business or their competitors will manage the business for breakthrough competitive advantage. Your company can be among the leaders enjoying the advantage or among the followers suffering the disadvantages.
