The 4 Skills Every Super Manager Should Have: English, Law, Finance and Taxation

Amazon is profitable, Facebook is not, not in the financial report in recent years. Amazon有獲利,FB沒有, 這幾年財報上可不是這麼說的! 財務報表,是依據一堆會計師、律師和政客,在壓力團體遊說下,遍經詭算而設計出來之遊戲規則所編製的。這些規則的演化,當然有其成因,要是對其來龍去脈不瞭解,絕對沒辦法參透大人世界裡的生意經。 Amazon Is Profitable, Facebook Is Not GAAP accounting can sometimes wrongly favor acquisitions over internal development. Comparing Amazon to Facebook provides a compelling

The Effectiveness of Start-Up Incubators and Accelerators

Building incubators or accelerators has become a thing in Taiwan. Even governments have allocated funds in the business. 近來在台灣,設育成中心或加速器,變成了顯學,連政府都挹注公部門的資源下來一起做。這二個同樣都屬於「幫早期的創業者長大」的概念,彼此該如何劃分,尚非本文重點;在此僅針對我們所觀察到的怪象,略作省思。 現在從北到南的育成中心,都在做些什麼? (1) 提供Co-working space,一定期間免租金 (2) 提供講師、相關課程 (3) 自己投資一點點資源或資金,再提供與投資人媒合的機會 至於那些「嘴砲打很大、小孩生不出、付錢辦領養」的「掛榜」育成,和三流補習班買考上建中台大的名單有什麼差別? 純粹丟人現眼,在此就不提了。 先檢討上述(1), (2), (3)三項。 〔問〕Co-working space有沒有用? 不能說完全沒有。但重不重要? 〔答〕當然不重要。蛤? 「我還以為創業育成中心主要就是在提供這個啊」? 好吧,大家都知道HP, Google, Apple都從小小的車庫起家,最後都成為國際巨擘。先找個免費或便宜的地方,大夥聚在一塊兒想清楚該做什麼、怎麼做、把該找的人找齊、湊一筆啟動資金… 創業的常態,從以前到現在都是這樣。在寸土寸金的台北市,從591找,月租一萬元以下還附冷氣的8坪10坪可以擠進五個人工作(不然你還肖想101的辦公室嗎)的小套房都有一千多間,新北市有近三千間,再往南就更不必提了。這種價格你如果找二個伙伴還租不起,也不必考慮創業了,連下個月吃飯都會成問題,對吧?
