Organization and Management Commonalities Build the Foundation for the 21st Century Enterprise
Today, there are many books and methods for competitive differentiation strategies, product differentiation, and implicit differentiation. Most methods being contrived are very industry or functional-specific. Conventional wisdom and sales hype says that this is good. But, these methods are not built on the fundamentals of the business and serve to separate and isolate the enterprise.
Competitive differentiation does not come from being different
Is it possible to define the one right way to organize and manage the business in any company, corporation, institute, agency, or other enterprise in any industry?
There are two important factors to know:
- The fundamental commonalities of all enterprises in any industry
- The fundamental definition of the business
Result-performance Management (R-pM) defines the enterprise as an business that utilizes capital in performance to produce value in results. This definition applies to any form of enterprise in any industry; even government, non-profit, or informal endeavors.
R-pM differentates for advantage and standardizes for low-cost and collaboration
One key to understanding and applying R-pM is to understand the fundamental commonalities of all enterprises that R-pM builds on to standardize and enable collaboration. R-pM differentiates enterprises only in product, service, industry, or other results, where there is significant competitive advantage that justifies differentiation.
The commonalities of the enterprise that provide the basis for R-pM are described in the article The Commonalities of all Enterprises Build the Foundation for the 21st Century Enterprise. Just understanding these commonalities and the way enterprises should differentiate will give you a new perspective to view your business as an integrated business structure, even without using R-pM. But, more and more enterprises are considering R-pM, in order to standardize for collaboration and common solutions and to differentiate for competitive advantage in the 21st century.
