The Lords of Strategy & Economic Tactical Commanders

Walter Keichel’s book ‘Lords of Strategy’ delves into the ‘secret intellectual history of the new corporate world’. Fifty years ago, strategy was not a matter of mainstream enactment but in the 1960′s the corporate world was turned upside down by cutting edge business consultants: Bruce Henderson, founder of Boston Consulting Group, Bill Bain, creator of Bain & Company, Fred Gluck, Managing Director of McKinsey & Company and Michael Porter, Harvard Business School professor. These men transformed the way we look at business and the way business and finance are taught in universities all over the world. The element of strategy that is now so pervasive globally had to evolve from conceptual to theoretical to template tactic to exercisable and strategic.

Taking A Company Public: The Art Of War Adapted To Our Market Place

In the strategies of war, how does a new regional military power or upstart guerrilla troop solidify their position? They identify their adversaries and eliminated them. How is business any different? The truth is the strategies are identical while the actual elimination process differs. War is fought with bombs and guns, economics is fought by crushing an idea or believe system that perpetuates the money machine behind a company, take away the public believe system based on the concept put out by a company and you’ve eliminated their ability to survive.

Pre IPO Investments – Pre IPO Investing – Misty Eyed Dreams of Investment Success

Keeping ones ears to the tracks, hoping for IPO or Pre IPO involvement to diversify a portfolio just isn’t enough if you are trying to get to the next level of profitability and bang for the buck. Let’s face it a sucker accepts 4% from their local bank and a chump will kneel down before the investment banking giants and beg for inclusion to their ‘insider’ list of HYIP type deals while paying gargantuan commissions and fees that strip the ultimate profitability from the unique transaction they are becoming part of.

Taking Your Company Public: Reverse Merger or S1 Filing

The dream of taking one’s company public is all too often unrealized when a shell merger or reverse merger concept is used. I say concept because this describes a general tactic as opposed to a strategy personified by a direct registration or S1 filing. Shortcuts have no place in a public offering as it lacks the results sought by entrepreneurs and demanded by investors and shareholders. Shells for mergers are typically dogs infested with microscopic flees, the struggle for volume and investor retention is constant and you’ll never have the full legitimacy of an S1 as the previous owners organizational baggage will constantly hinder your development as a public entity as the weight of skeletons in the closet will always outweigh your efforts, thus eliminating the results of IR and other promotional tactics for stock traction in the marketplace. Going public doesn’t have to be painful, all you need is a game plan and experienced agents working on your behalf. If you’re broke get a loan, don’t attempt a public offering. If your company has a proven concept and solid net revenues then going public may be just the fund-raising tool you’ve been looking for.

By structure I am referring to founders, C Level executives, board of directors, compliance legal team, pipeline contracts, overall profitability and dilution in the float (just to name a few items). Finding the right transaction takes more than just some advice from your broker, though their efforts may be pure in intent, they are, for the most part, unqualified to advise on such investment actions.

Taking A Company Public? Find Out What Real Power Is

From one blog maniac to another, I feel that blogging gives us all an opportunity to express our opinions, good and bad, off the cuff and to the masses. I remember getting bad service in a Subway sandwich shop with my family, I sent out a twitter to my group and in 24 hours I received a personal apology from the franchise owner and the corporate office with a hefty supply of free food vouchers that literally lasted us a year. It’s nice to know that we are able to keep companies in check using social media.
