Write You - Technomanagement: A Deadly Mix of Bureaucracy and Technology
The homebased and small business owner is the "Unsung Hero". Why? The small business owner and today even the homebased business owner are the cornerstones of our society. The homebased business owner employs a number of independent contractors. Small businesses account for a large percentage of our economic work force. Think of the homebased and small business owner as the leaders of a team. They organize their team, tell them the strategy they want to be followed and how to implement that strategy.

Far too many organizations are ruled by bureaucrats and technocrats either in management or staff support roles. One of their (often unconscious) driving motives is to "eliminate the human factor."

Having decided to go into business and selected a potential business idea the question arises, should you start from scratch or buy an existing business? If you are one of the few who have a completely new product or service, the decision, by definition, is made for you. For others, the choice is open.A major appeal of buying an existing business is speed - the business is a going concern - hopefully, revenue will come in from day one. There is little inconvenience: no looking for suitable premises, choosing equipment or finding new customers and suppliers.A second and important advantage is that if you have

I became an SEO last week by accident. I also created an e-commerce website with affiliate program (again by accident) a few months ago. How did it happen? I don't know but it was about time. I was fifty two and still asking "What do you want to be when you grow up, Rick"? My main website had suddenly become one of the top Netcraft and Alexa rated web sites on the Internet, again by accident. Now I knew I had a work at home business, not just a hobby. But still the idea went through my mind, "What do you want to be when you grow up, Rick?" All my peers were physicians, lawyers, CPA's, plumbers, electricians, scient
Hierarchical language also shows where many technomanagers are coming from. "How many people work for you?" (to which one dissatisfied manager replied, "about half"), "subordinates" (and its especially repulsive companion "superiors"), "staying on top of things," "my people," and "down the organization" show the need many technomanagers have to dominate and control.
