Have you ever thought about whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for a part-time worker?
Personal opinion: both.
On the bright side,
1, you can use the competitive advantage of the product itself to bring good performance and even monopoly. We generally agree that companies are strong and employees are naturally strong, especially when differentiated products appear. Once the market demand is huge, the company is the god of customers. If you represent the company, you are the god of customers (if you are lucky).
2, let the work become more confident, homogeneous competition makes us pay a lot, profits are thin, sales are difficult to maintain, and we are caught in price wars and credit operations. Differentiated products can help us bring exponential growth, and naturally our self-confidence will easily burst.
3. Learn the product itself and some differentiated product management methods and experiences. Generally, differentiated products in hand will encounter problems at the beginning, especially in the manufacturing power of oversupply ~ China, product homogenization and management methods homogenization, even if marketing is innovative, it is equally easy to be imitated. However, the product has outstanding advantages and is difficult to be imitated by others, and the natural promotion method can be differentiated.
The essence of management is to create scarcity, and products with outstanding advantages are a kind of scarcity.
At present, the two most powerful operations are cost management and differentiated management. I think advantages and disadvantages will exist at the same time, otherwise, how can there be a handful of enterprises in the world in the past 100 years?
What about the bad side?
1, rapid development, management can't keep up. Several well-known listed companies in their own industries are no exception, especially after rapid listing, they use their own technological advantages, such as cost advantages, to expand a lot and seize the market. Management is either adding fuel to the fire or family-style management of airborne.
Therefore ... it may become the "Whampoa Military Academy" and "pioneer" of that industry.
2. The product advantage conceals the talent advantage.
Without a strong product or technology, it is difficult for you to determine fast and good performance in a short period of time. Do the existing good products have good performance, or do the good people have good performance first?
If your company values talents, congratulations. If your boss thinks that a good product has made you, it may be unfortunate.
I admire Apple for its powerful products, that is, I specialize in technology, so what can you do directly?
But how much is our industry like Apple?
If your company values talents, it is difficult to make money without talents!
