Creating New Businesses

It has been agreed that growth ultimately means starting new businesses. The challenges are vast, and it's difficult to know how, or even whether, to move forward. New business creation is also known as 'corporate venturing', 'corporate entrepreneurship', 'corporate innovation', or intrapreneuring.

A new venture simply has to prototype its initial concept, get it into the hands of users, assess their reactions, and then repeat the process until it comes up with an acceptable version. So a good experiment begin with clear, explicit objectives. They are designed to produce targeted insights and rapid feedback so that they generate measurable actionable results.

New ventures flourish best in open, exploratory environments, but most large corporations are geared toward mature businesses and efficient, predictable operations. When a company's leaders recognise and support trend setters, encourage diverse perspectives, accept well-reasoned mistakes, and offers resources for exploratory ventures, employees are suitable to embrace entrepreneurship.

New ventures may be necessary for long-term growth, but successes are hard to pull off. Things can go wrong in many ways as starting p of business is not an easy task it's a big risk as lot of resources are used. They can encounter customer failures ( insufficient demand or unwillingness to pay for the product or service, technological failures ( inability to deliver the promised functionality), operational failures ( inability to deliver at the required coat or quality levels), regulatory failures ( institutional barriers to doing what's desired), and competitive failures ( a competitor's entry changes the rues of the game). These sets backs are unavoidable and no one can anticipate them all.

Experimentation is not the only first step in an extended, multistage process of business development. Each stage introduces different sets of questions and challenges. Each stage also demands different talents and perspectives, and new leaders usually have to be brought in as business progress. New businesses are rarely profitable in their early, formative years.

During expansion, measures of market penetration and market share becomes important, as the business becomes established, traditional financial measures can be installed.

New Businesses go through three main stages:

1)Experimentation
2)Expansion
3)Integration

In most cases, the three stages of business creation take years to unfold. Experimentation, in particular, is extremely time-consuming. New concept are difficult to validate, and customers first reactions are not always good predictors of long-term sustainability.

FEMINISATION OF EMPLOYMENT

In the present global reshaping of labour, studies have shown that, as a company adopts labour the higher is the number of women employed and the greater is their vulnerability to exploitative conditions. Labour flexibility has led to job insecurities for men, resulting in the erosion of their masculinity.

The upgrading of worker’s skills in multi task jobs using Information Communication Technology (ICT), resulting in an increasing demand for multi-skilled workers with hardware and software as well as business skills. The majority of the workers in the first category are women while those in the second are men, although more and more women are now being employed in ICT-led sectors.

However, the globalisation of trade and the economy has definitely opened up economic and income opportunities for women, resulting in her improved status in the household and an increase in her position in society as well as her self-esteem. It has opened up choices for women in both the manufacturing and services sectors and for those in the higher-valued industries, it has also meant an increase in her skills.

With the expansion of ICT, information processing work can now be globally distributed, leading to new modes of working, such as telework, teletrade and e-commerce. Women as offshore data entry workers, software programmers and systems analysts are finding novel employment opportunities in this digital age. ICT are for everyone and women have to be an equal beneficiary to the advantages offered by the technology, and the products and processes which emerge from their use. The benefits accrued from the synergy of knowledge and ICT need not be restricted to the upper strata of the society but have to freely flow to all segments of the female population.

The gamut of areas in which ICT can put a greater control in the hands of women is wide and continuously expanding, from managing water distribution at the village-level to standing for local elections and having access to lifelong learning opportunities. ICT in convergence with other forms of communication have the potential to reach those women who hitherto have not been reached by any other media, thereby empowering them to participate in economic and social progress, and make informed decision on issues that affect them.
As a result of globalisation a common pattern of dualism in labour markets have been observed in developing countries. Urban development has encouraged the growth of groups of workers in the formal sector who are protected, alongside larger numbers of underemployed workers in the informal sector. Formal labour markets thus are often biased for reasons beyond skills and abilities of the worker.
The mechanisms by which new production units obtain access to pools of low-skill labour vary from country to country, industry to industry. The relatively poor, in particular women, are often found in the services sector, which tends to be more labour intensive. A challenge is to devise ways in which these services can be ‘connected’ with the operations of foreign direct investment and with international markets, so that women can share in the benefits of the globalisation process.
