哈佛知識分享: Trade-offs 如何「取捨」?


你要取得更多,就要捨棄更多。「取捨」is tough, but you have to do it! 


股神巴菲特 Warren Buffett 有句名言好影響我:


"The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.‘’ 


成功及非常成功嘅人分別就係非常成功嘅人對絕大部分事情都係 say No. 


識我嘅朋友都知道,我經常講:「我乜都唔識、乜都唔買! 我只買幾千萬以下香港嘅街舖。 我唔買樓、唔買工廈、唔買商廈、唔買農地、唔買車位/骨灰龕位、唔買大灣區、英國樓、非洲農地、 火星月球。 全部都唔買,送畀我都唔要。Again … 我只買港幣五六千萬以下香港的街舖仔。 香港有十萬間,買十世我都買唔晒! 呢世我只想買一千間。」


哈佛大學教授 Michael Porter 亦講過: “Strategy is making trade-offs in competing. The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do." 


策略就係要以「取捨」去競爭。 策略嘅精髓就係要知道唔做乜! 


上一集講過,何謂一個好嘅策略 Good Strategy? 教授 Michael Porter 話要經得起五個 Tests: 


  1. A distinctive value proposition 獨特的價值主張


  1. A tailored value chain 度身訂造的企業價值鏈


  1. Trade-offs different from rivals 同競爭對手不同的「取捨」


  1. Fit across value chain 成條企業價值鏈的活動要配合


  1. Continuity over time 持續性、持續性,不能一時一樣


今集同你講第(3) Trade-offs different from rivals 要贏,就要有同競爭對手不同的「取捨」。


What are trade-offs? 


"Trade-offs are the strategic equivalent of a fork in the road. If you take one path, you cannot simultaneously take the other." by Michael Porter 


「取捨就好似去咗一個交叉路口咁, 你只可以二選其一,唔可以兩條路都行晒。」


做生意,唔係多啲,就好啲。 多啲產品、 多啲服務、多啲客戶, 唔代表你就係好啲。 因為你營業額可能多咗三成, 但利潤反而可能無咗一半。 咁我就情願營業額細啲,利潤多一倍好過。 記住一開始嘅時候我話 Michael Porter 講過: 


"Competition is not about being the BEST, not about MARKET SHARE. Competition is about being UNIQUE, about earning PROFITS" by Michael Porter
