There are many great advertising campaigns and marketing strategies, which corporate America has produced. Many of these great advertising campaigns have won awards and many deserve them. One of the greatest advertising achievements was done with Avis Rent a Car. Perhaps you'll remember the; We Try Harder; advertising campaign?It is interesting b
Thus, when the programmer experiences a lot of maintenance because of the many exceptions that bring the decentralized program with it, he or she wil streamline the program and centralize the code. When you have done this, your maintenance will become much less of a problem, but there is a new issue: when there is a change required in the central part of the system, you are affecting all the decentralized routines that are used by the various clients. So where in the previous situation you could update any part without affecting the whole, now in the new (centralized) situation you have lost this autonomy. In this situation, a growing number of users, has given momentum to use a central solution in which scale is more important than client differentiation.
The main cause of this dilemma lies in the fact that centralized activities (and systems, etc) are less agile. Centralized activities are less flexible because they form the center or the core of the system or organization and changing them will affect all other parts that are built as the stapling layers of an onion.

Market research as a tool is very useful for looking backwards. If you want to know what your customers thought of their experience with you; or perhaps you want to know how much they will pay for an existing product or service; or what they think of your existing competitors; or you might even want to compare a couple of advertisements to see which one yo

One of the most aggravating things that a franchising consultant has to go through is to field calls from students who are writing research papers on Franchising for their schools. Apparently the instructors assign these projects and the business students go out and make contacts in the real world.One tactic I have found to get rid of these bogus co

We really need to trust our intuition more.I was talking to someone a few weeks ago, and explained that I thought our decision-making process should be based on three inner criteria: intellect, intuition and emotion.Here's a scenario:I'm in a grocery store and I see a chocolate bar. My intellectual process goes something like this, "I
The decentralized parts and solution on the other hand, operate on the outside and can fluctuate easily. And leave the core untouched. They behave like little waves around the central organization. Which makes it easy to respond to changes. Unless you need something to come from the core. Anyone involved with this dilemmas needs to choose between flexibility and efficiency. Flexibility has a price (the price of overlap), but this price is affordable if the solution is only for a short time and developed in an changing environment. Centralizing activities is required when you operate on scale, when the activities are stable … And this is amongst other thing the case when offering infrastructural services.
Some implications:
If you wait to long with reaping the benefits from centralizing activities, you will loose money because of inefficiencies. It will also be more difficult to change later on, when there is little experience in handing over activities. If you continue to long with a central approach you will become rigid; both in the solution you can offer as well in the confrontation to change. New initiatives are best served with some autonomy.
