First, it must be known beforehand about the advantages of an enterprise is first (typically referred to by the term core competences). Core competences is an excess of which is within an enterprise so that companies can have on certain areas of performance that exceeds other companies (usually referred to by the term Distinctive Competences).

Core competences are not coming by it self, but should be designed by the company. Core competences come from two sources (the discussion this time), namely:

1. Specialized resources can be certain of the functional skills (functional skills) or skill possessed by the organization (usually the skills of top management).

2. Coordination Abilities. Represents the ability of a company to manage / organize functional and organizational resources so that resources can be used effectively and efficiently.

I think personally, the two sources of core competences within the company; there is one resource that plays an important role, namely the human factor. And of course, humans can only work optimally if it was supported by a supportive corporate culture.

Robin Sharma in his book The Greatness Guide writes
“One of the most competitive advantages can be maintained by developing what I call the Cultural Leadership, because all actions are driven by corporate culture. Your competitors will imitate your product if the product is good. They will also imitate your service. They will imitate your logo, but they will never be able to imitate your culture. And your culture is the only thing that makes your organization Parties. Your organization’s culture is something that determines the standards of behavior and then encouraging. For me, culture is king.”

Because culture is what determines how the behavior of firms, it also develop a good cultural fit with your individual business.

Strategy and Finance Minister of South Korea Yoon Jeung Hyun expressed the need for world security network (global safety net) to tackle these capital flows.

“A number of developing countries would have the option to accumulate reserves in order to face the crisis. However, it is the high cost that is not the best choice. Global safety net is a good choice for all countries,” he said this afternoon.

He explained the IMF to prepare a more detailed plan to address capital flows that are too easy in and out and ensure global financial stability. However, IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss Kahn assess actual Asia has shown resilience to the global financial crisis and even its economy continues to grow.

“The way to control the flow of incoming funds is of course dependent on each country, depending on the condition of each.”

Chief Investment Officer, China Investment Corporation Gao Xiqing said there should be cooperation between countries to solve the problems of protectionism and a weak social safety net.

“Countries in Asia should draw lessons from the past that shows domestic protection is not enough to endure external shocks. It should be no policy for dealing with capital inflows must have a concept of global financial safety net.”

According to him, this step will ensure economic growth as well as continue the policy of free trade and free markets.

There is a saying that the consumer is king. Proverb that I think is still relevant to current conditions or even universal. Seller will not be able to sell if there were no consumers, consumer vice versa will not be able to meet all their need if there are no sellers.

I think the effort to maintain consumer is far more difficult than getting new customers. Each business activity will compete to retain customers with a variety of ways so that the consumer does not move to another customer. Treat the consumer as king over many perceived by companies engaged in services. For those of you who have business that you run the center, there is a simple way how to retain customers in order to always give money to us. These are tips for you:

1. Greet customers properly. The point is, when consumers come to where we are; welcome the consumers with a smile. The first point we have got a sense of a “friendly”.

2. Ask what they need. We must pro-actively ask first advance what the consumer needs.
3. Provide the best quality. Every product that we give must be the best. Never provide to consumers with the bad products. This will create a bad impression for the customers of our products sale.
4. Give a fair price. In the highly competitive price of a products or services are critical. To buy something consumers usually opt to choose any place that is cheaper. Give
them with a reasonable price but still accompanied by good quality, commonly, consumers will always return to our place.

5. Keep promises; strive every promise we give to consumers to always keep. Never make promises to us consumers if we can not fulfill.

These tips are powerful enough because consumers feel cared for. Now if the spiritual bond already formed is difficult for consumers to move to another place.
