Corporations of the Future
I've briefly written about corporations on this blog before. Mostly, what I don't like about them. Here are my major complaints:
The good news is that I believe it will get better in the future. The changing world is going to force them to. What the new corporation will be like is very different. First, they will start marketing what people actually need rather than trying to convince people to buy whatever they want to sell. Second, the trick of selling new products at very high prices until competition forces the price down will end. The prices, right from the beginning, will be reasonable. And, finally, when the corporation does well, the workers will benefit as much as the executives in the ivory towers. And, maybe, they will even create jobs that take advantage of an individual workers talents and strengths, rather than sending the workers off for training to make them fit the job.
- They come up with a new product or service and then spend millions convincing us to buy it
- They sell the products and services at the maximum amount the market will bear rather than at a fair markup
- They pay lower level workers as little as possible while the guys at the top are raking in millions a year
