Before I became fully committed to online shopping in Lazada
Philippines, I did scour and sifted through the web first to find some
background information about the website that I was about to deal with. I of
course will not buy from someone or for this matter from a company online that
I did not thoroughly researched first as that can put my hard-earned money at
risk. It was a great thing that I did my research because that is how I
discovered that the company is built on a really solid foundation by another
company.
Yes you heard that right, Lazada Philippines was created and put out
on the internet by a different company called Rocket-Internet. The name sounded
really catchy, thought provoking and powerful and emanates a certain kind of
energy that only comes off of big things and powerful people. That observation
just makes a lot of sense as the name itself comes from a machine that defies
gravity and go against atmospheric barriers carrying loads that are twice its
own weight. Where does the company Rocket-Internet fit in Lazada’s smashing
success? It fits in right inside the core of it because all that power and all
that business might all came from the company. So what does Rocket-Internet do?
The answer to that very straightforward no beating around the bush kind of
question is very simple too, the company builds, creates and eventually sells
(not regularly) online business ventures and without them backing Lazada Ph,
our favorite online shopping website would have have not had the amount of success
that it has enjoyed within just a year of its creation.
There would be no Lazada
Philippines if there is no Rocket-Internet running the whole show behind the
curtains. Okay now to provide a quick primer on what Rocket-Internet is doing,
here a quick at a glance peek at their basic business concept.The term is
business incubation; this business process involves an incubator company and a
start-up business. The incubator company (Rocket-Internet) provides all the
support it could give to the business start-up to help it get a head start and
avoid if not eliminate failures that are very prominent during the first two
years of doing a business.
Most companies that are starting out and did not go
through a business incubation process usually or more often than not will meet its
early demise within the first two years of operating. Those starting businesses
however that has undergone business incubation or created by business
incubators like Rocket-Internet are almost always guaranteed success. That is
because incubator companies like Rocket-Internet employs business support systems
that are designed to see a new company through growing pains of starting up.
They utilize and take advantage the wealth of business resources they have like
technology, expert manpower, proven ideas and capital. Rocket-Internet is like
no traditional business incubators out there because what they do is that they
take an existing proven internet business idea and re-introduce them to another
market where the idea has never been seen or heard before and that is where
they would thrive. That is the driving force behind Lazada Ph.
