Have you ever heard someone say that Business is not Rocket Science? And indeed although that maybe true to some degree do you ever notice that the person who says this has never made any real money in any business? Interesting isnt it, as in even if that is true, how in the heck would they know? Business may not be a science, but it certainly is the way I run a business. I have always treated it as such and most entrepreneurs as they get going watch it like a hawk, the details are the key to winning in business. When these folks tell you that business is not a science; what part of business is not a science? When you break it down it is all science? Running a company is not easy. Business is science if you do it right and it is taking many factors into consideration, economics, politics, motivation of the species, thought processes of buying behavior, psychology, statistics, site selection, demographics, pricing strategy, inventory, distribution models; many sciences all wrapped up into one. You should think of it as the ultimate science, not just science. Not just any science, but rather all science. Next time you hear someone say that Business is not Rocket Science. Stop them then and there and say; Interesting, who do you think built all that stuff they send into space, built the buildings NASA is in, created the materials, shipped them, etc? I bet it was a business wasnt it? You see business is not just A science; it is many sciences mixed into one. After all we call them sciences dont we; Political Science for instance, economics, psychology? Statistics is all about mathematics, we use computers, networks in business; ever heard of computer sciences? Most businesses have so many sciences built in their business model that you have to be an expert in all of them just to run the company. I believe there is more complexity in running a business than most any other human endeavor. Further I believe that anyone who says business is not a science is stuck in such linear thought they should not be allowed be in whatever science field they think they are in. And that is the way I see it. |
