There are a lot of things that could make
for a great company. Today we are going to dig deeper into the things that
makes our number one online shopping company great. In focus right now is the
top online shopping company in the country Lazada
Philippines as well as its creator, the number one online venture builder
in the world, Rocket-Internet. There are three things that we would want to
look into about the company, the company vision-mission, the way of thinking
and economic impact.
Vision-Mission – All companies work around a
certain vision-mission and core values. Having a vision mission is integral for
success because it gives the company a goal to look forward to and a target to
hit. Every company does have some sort of a vision-mission even the small ones.
Rocket-Internet, Lazada's business incubator is a very successful company with
a very simple vision-mission. I can’t quote exactly what the vision-mission is
verbatim but I am just going to lay down the gist of what I have understood
from my readings of the company profile. The core of the company’s vision is
very practical and straightforward and that is performance. The company is
passionate about performance and accomplishing things. Their main thing is
accomplishing and putting plans into action at a very rapid pace. On the side,
they also believe in hard work, humility and dedication. They put a premium on
sharing of information, knowledge and solving problems in a very independent
manner. The company founders put more emphasis on intelligence more than
experience and that carries into the company’s hiring practices. That is why
having a lot of years and experience at work is not a guarantee that can easily
get a position. A prospective applicant who wants to get a top position in the
company should be able to demonstrate creativity, ability to think outside of
the box and of course overall intelligence. As mentioned earlier, the company
is fond of working fast and finishing quick along with taking risks. They
believe only in possibilities and nothing else.
Out of the box way of thinking – out of the
box thinking is one of the thinking skills that is valued greatly by the
founders and leaders of the company. The
main goal is to keep the flow of original ideas running or the so called
creative juice. Thinking out of the box enables a company to always come up
with something new, something fresh that they could introduce to the market. Without
that way of thinking, a company will always end up serving the same stuff and
the effect is not that favorable especially for a company that thrives in
unique ways of doing things.
Economic and employment impact – A
company’s profitability and progress depends a lot on the quality of people
working behind it. I mentioned earlier that the founders believe in
intelligence more than experience and that kind of employment philosophy allows
the company to select the right talent. The company also believes in providing
people with equal employment opportunities regardless of what background the
person may have.
