Sobre este producto
- John Potter's "Business and the Common Man" delves into the core principles of business, focusing on how it can be more inclusive and beneficial for both individual operators and society. With over sixty years of experience as a small business consultant in Australia and Africa, Potter explores why some individuals excel in business while others do not and what business systems yield the best outcomes for all.Potter identifies three fundamental realities of business:Human Need: Business activities stem from the need to satisfy basic human requirements such as food and shelter. However, human needs often escalate to desires, creating a hierarchy of survival, comfort, and greed.Social Interaction: Business inherently involves interactions among people, requiring a marketplace for buying and selling goods.Unequal Outcomes: Success in business varies among individuals, prompting the need for adequate business planning.All businesses, regardless of type, require four key inputs:Land: Business operations need a physical location, with land quality being crucial for agriculture but less so for other enterprises. Ownership and tenure are important, and Potter emphasizes avoiding mortgages due to their financial burden.Labour: Drawing on the biblical example of Israel, Potter highlights the importance of family labour in business. Family-run businesses benefit from shared responsibilities and reduced labour costs.Capital: Financing is vital for starting and sustaining a business. Potter advocates for community-based funding mechanisms, such as family trusts and local savings and loans facilities, to support businesses without relying on external financial institutions.Know-how: Knowledge and skills are essential for managing various aspects of a business, from production to marketing and financial management.Potter proposes a community-centric approach to business, where local communities support and manage their enterprises. He envisions communities comprising sovereign households operating under a family trust, with local and regional centres providing necessary infrastructure and services.Potter suggests that communities should operate through unincorporated associations, which can manage resources and provide services without the complexities of formal incorporation. This approach promotes self-reliance and community control.Education plays a critical role in Potter's model. He advocates for practical, hands-on training tailored to the needs of the community, focusing on agriculture, business management, and spiritual guidance. This ensures that individuals are well-equipped to contribute to their communities effectively.Potter outlines a template for a "Kingdom Community," inspired by Biblical principles. This community model emphasizes self-sufficiency, local governance, and the equitable distribution of resources. It includes structures for education, healthcare, legal services, and cooperative enterprises, all managed by local people for the benefit of the community."Business and the Common Man" presents a vision of business that is deeply rooted in community values and Biblical principles. Potter's model advocates for self-reliance, local governance, and community support to create sustainable and equitable business environments. By emphasizing the importance of family labour, community funding, and practical education, Potter offers a holistic approach to business that seeks to benefit both individuals and society as a whole.
