This feature is not about discouraging the use of technology in business. Rather, it is focused on the positive aspect of making better business decisions on how technology can be used more constructively for the benefit of all stakeholders.

If a positive view is taken of this information, your business can initiate the use of technology as intended, to be more efficient, save costs, and support your business’s marketing program to show a modern uniqueness with benefits which differentiates your business over its competitors.

All recessions are damaging, although some are more than others. The differences between the amount of damage and ability to recover, will vary between recessions. For instance, with the current recession, Government support and interventions should minimise damage to a degree. However, it is the inappropriate actions of other parties which may negate many of the benefits provided. Consequently, this recession is likely to be more damaging than it might otherwise be, because of these other inappropriate actions.

This feature will put forward the key factors which I believe will make this recession worse than it should be. There is no doubt that the COVID19 virus is one of the main factors triggering this recession. The pandemic however, was “… only the final straw, which broke the camel’s back.” The pandemic, like the irresponsible lending which led to the Global Financial Crises (GFC), or the stock market crash of 1929, was only the final event which brought to light the fragility of the economic climate of that time.

Both sides of the argument have their share of highly derogatory detractors using false or misleading information. This discussion is about presenting their respective cases in a clear manner, devoid of prejudices.

This is my attempt to provide a possible scenario from the perspective of a credit and fraud risk professional, front-line global business operator, entrepreneur and business owner.

Don’t ever forget Caveat Emptor - buyer beware - always applies when buying or taking over another business.

This feature is a product of my experiences and observations.

It used to be said that there were businesses which were too big to fail. We have seen in recent times that this old saying is not always true. Today, it is sometimes seen that the bigger the business, the more likely it is to fail.

One of the most damaging business relationships you can have is with a business which operates with a bureaucratic organisational structure. Why is this so? In answer to this question, you need to understand what a bureaucratic organisation is and how it operates compared to other business organisational formats.

The following is my perspective on the “how and why” recessions occur, the preceding indicators and suggested action to survive them.

The purpose of this article is to share experience, knowledge and insight for the many business professionals that have either forgotten the pain of the previous recessions, not experienced one in their working life and/or believe the “modern world is recession proof”.
