Career in New Age. Personal Marketing


First, let me remind you how a career is built in a large organization. And then about why relying on a career in such enterprises can fail.

A career in the administrative structure is built on the principle of a gradual transition from the lowest to the highest step: specialist, team leader, deputy head of a department, head of a department, and so on in accordance with the titles of positions in the administrative structure. No one was embarrassed that these were, in fact, different professions.

Now let's imagine that the financial condition of an enterprise depends on market conditions. And the sales market has significant fluctuations. For example, they sold products 20% less than last month, and the next month received orders more than 30%. What to do? To lay off workers and then recruit them again? We followed the path of creating warehouse stocks. Inventories reduced dependence on fluctuations in real sales. But inventory is a cost that affects the price of a product.

Now let's imagine that 30% of the staff were replaced by freelancers. Then storage costs are minimized, which allows you to reduce the price of products.
Legislation also contributes to the growth in the number of freelancers. I will not go into detail on this vast topic. Any financier serving a business knows that full-time employees are more expensive than those who are hired to do the job.

A freelancer can perform regular work for the same customer, and also have additional earnings, registering himself on the freelance exchange. Thus, he reduces his risks associated with changes in the market for his products. Risks are reduced more if the portfolio for work is diversified in several areas.

I draw your attention to the fact that the risks associated with market fluctuations have not disappeared. They were transferred from enterprises to freelancers. By the way, not only these risks are passed on to freelancers, but I will not touch on this topic in detail here.

For similar reasons, which prompted cooperation with freelancers, it is beneficial for an enterprise, instead of maintaining a workshop with permanent staff, to turn to small businesses that are capable of producing the same products.

Managers used to be bosses and made plans for workshops and departments. And now they have to communicate with independent entrepreneurs. The activities of managers have changed. Other skills are required. And on the site of the former enterprises, technoparks appear, which serve small enterprises.
