Yeah, but when you're asking someone to invest in your company, you don't want them to feel like they don't understand the business. Or time. Or lines.

It's one of those absolutely banal truisms that business people like to call an education, but yeah, it technically makes sense, and is one of the most common ones you will find.

Its also defines a loving stupid principle (from the viewpoint of an engineering graduate): Being a small and steady operator aka "the dog" is something that should be avoided, and every effort should be made to destabilize or reinvent the "dog" to get rid of it. So basically "never not take everything that could be taken and never be OK with just an comfortable average outcome".

"I understand that the fund is making 13% per annum, but how about we take it to the casino and put it all on black? We can double our money over night!" "Woo! You see? We doubled our money! Let it riiiide!" But seriously, I tried to start a business with some idiot hipsters and the business plan was solid and simple, it'd just take a few months to build up the client base and after a few years we could probably franchise or sell it for a healthy profit. Instead they kept trying to make it increasingly boutique saying 'If we aren't making a million bucks within a year it's not worth it'. Then just before launch they decided to go to another country and start an ad agency. So a perfectly good small business in a rapidly expanding market flushed down the drain and I learnt a valuable lesson about trusting anyone under the age of thirty.

Ehhh the point isn't that you need to kill the dogs right away, the point is that long term you shouldn't be satisfied with them. Either the market moves the dogs into a high-growth space (the ?) or market share growth moves them to cash cows. It's about how you prioritize future investment, based on current performance and growth expectations. If you've got money/resources/expertise to do all of them well, then fine, go for it. But if you forego a 12% ROI opportunity you can't afford because you are continuing ongoing investment in a 2% ROI business then you've screwed up.

Ah. I'm not a business student, I was just required to take an entry level marketing course and that was in there and made NO sense. It was dumped on me with zero context since that context was given to most of the other students already because they all actually are business students. So for me it just looks like random nonsense.

Goon Danton posted:Monomaniacal focus on ROI at the expense of any more socially beneficial goals, I'd assume. This is absurd edgelord territory. The whole point of that concept is a framework to evaluate your investments, and do more of the things you are succeeding at and do less of the things you are sucking at. Those are decisions like "let's discontinue the 2 horsepower compressors and instead retool and make more of the 20 horsepower commercial compressors because the margins are better and we are more competitive in that space." "I'm getting 2 inventory turns per year on these stupid copies of Settlers Of Catan, I should get rid of it and use that freed up shelf space to sell more Warhammer stuff that is producing 9 inventory turns per year" "We are taking the roasted chicken off the menu because sales are poor and we can put another smoker there to make more of the ribs that sell out every day during the lunch rush" A lot of business decisions are like that, and most don't have societal impact like laying off a few thousand people, buying from a Chinese supplier that uses child labor, committing securities fraud, or dumping poison in the river. It's regular boring stuff like "land $800k in new business for the aluminum valve reducers" Welcome to the incredibly dull world of market analysis.

Well, how else would you deal with someone crawling over the DMZ at midnight on new years, smart guy? Their top half could defect december 31st, 2017 and their legs on January 1st 2018, and without the half lines they would be a rounding error.
