Huge debts
by Abu Abdul Rahman Kashfi
Once a lecturer in Strategic Management asked me: "What if I decided not to do anything. Will it be considered as a good strategy?"
I replied: "Sounds not!"
He then told me: "Do nothing will be considered as a good strategy if it is what we need to achieve our goals!"
As an example. A country is in deep problem with huge debts. It has two choices.
1: Do not add any further developments with new CAPEX, but continue managing existing OPEX and other costs. All extra income are used to clear the debts.
2: Add more projects and borrow more money, hoping that new projects will spur growths hence more income into the coffers.
I choose 1, do nothing.
Lower risks, and better financial management.
Unless if I have a very productive and efficient team (or workforce), I might consider option 2!!
What say you?
