Collaboration – The Short Cut To
Accelerated Growth
§
Unity is
strength - For a long time, our SMEs have
complained of being ignored by banks, venture capitalists, the government &
others. If all small businesses can collaborate (e.g. through strategic
alliance, joint-venture, merger) with each other in win-win arrangements, they can
theoretically be as big as any MNC & compete with the big boys. Even our
Minister had repeatedly urged our SMEs to stop
competing and start co-operating with each other. Remember. Your competitor is
not the SME next door.
§ Resources & economies of scale - Collaboration gives us richer talent, finances, equipment, etc, to do bigger & more sophisticated businesses. Our urgent need is to build a critical mass of people who can add value to each other for meaningful collaboration.
§ Increase our bargaining powers against bigger organisations e.g. customers, suppliers, financiers, etc.
