FBC #17 – Production of Products and Services [1 page]
An Operational Concern: Presidents, Vice Presidents, Managers
Production, or manufacturing, is the act of crafting new offers, practices, narratives and strategies, including all goods and services.
Put another way, all goods and services are combinations of offers, practices, narratives and strategies businesspeople produce to make money, earn a living or become rich.
As IR#4 matures and more production is managed using computers and computer-driven tools, the speed, complexity, strategy and competitiveness of production can only increase.
In IR#3 production relied on single-purpose tools in processes and procedures, labor-based work ethics and continuous, or incremental, improvement, and hierarchical production management to produce competitive advantages and value.
In IR#4 production increasingly uses computers and the internet to generate tactical, strategic and competitive advantages that must change at the speed they are made obsolete by financial and competitive pressures.
Because computers and the internet are linguistic and strategic, rather than force and task-oriented machines,
… IR#4 businesspeople and businesses must know how to continually increase the quality and speed of production
… using new Sources, Forms, Categories, Operations and Methods of Accumulating Power that change throughout the day.
In IR#3’s Cartesian business philosophy production was about “things”, i.e. goods and services.
When using “Aji” in IR#4 production is linguistic and historical, which is much more valuable, strategic and competitive.
It’s about producing steady streams of fresh, new offers, practices, narratives and strategies, which includes all goods and services,
… with highly valued marginal utilities that are scarce relative to demand.
Production is “financial” because being able to produce steady streams of fresh, new outcomes every day is a competitive capabilities and advantages with high monetary value.
It is “strategic” because it enables businesspeople and businesses to execute, improve or design new strategies.
It is “competitive” because it creates highly valued and scarce marginal utilities, as well as tactical, strategic and fundamental competitive advantages such as being first to market.
