May engineers do not have exposure to business management courses in school and in May they lack experience in conducting business. In addition, engineers are trained to think logically and linearly. They rarely move on to step up to step one is solved. They are also uncomfortable with the unknown. Each question must have an answer and the answer is to stand up to all challenges.
As a result, they may be at a disadvantage when faced with business problems.
Every business and even engineering and technical enterprises, carried out between the people and the people are not necessarily logical or truthful. A job is not a linear activity - many things must happen simultaneously. Nor can manage to wait for an answer to the question has been successfully defended, deadlines often force management to make decisions. Ask the most successful CEO and they will say one of the hardest things you had to learn what is to increase their responsibility to make better and better decisions with less information.
When engineers use to establish a technical business lawyer to advise them on the merits of different legal structures, intellectual property protection, and accountants to advise, and perhaps more to see the financial system for recording and filing the required reports. When business issues arise, the engineer / owners are now managers often turn to the first team of experts for suggestions.
So what is the result?
is usually a less-than-best solution. Both experts, counsel and accountants, are trained in specific disciplines, are experienced business people. They are experts, they see things from their point of view, such as:
- Minimizing risk,
- Only address this question,
- Drawing on what he did in the past,
- Focus on the client, rather than competitive, industry, market or economy, and
-.Keep their commitments in the form
In addition, the manner of their fee (per hour) does the professional and business owner (a) keep the time on their minds. This excludes the right commitment and a little effort spent on building relationships. Communication does not address the underlying motivation. As a business owner is thinking for the future? What happens with the key employees? Are there any personal issues or agendas that could or should be addressed in the decisions?
The bottom line is that technically savvy business owners and managers will face the toughest challenges when the company was threatening problems or a life-able to reach more than likely they will have enough resources and less than optimal advisors from which can be drawn.
Facing this dilemma can get help. However, under pressure of time, will probably make a decision on who to use without going through the process of determining if that person is best for njih.Preporuka from someone with successful experience is a good starting point, but this relationship and may have had many positive impacts . Customers can know each other a long time, so minor problems and concerns can be thoroughly discussed and riješen.Savjetnik may have had the opportunity to become knowledgeable with the industry. Thoughts and plans for the future may be examined carefully.
again due to time pressures, there May be time to find another potential consultant or take appropriate due diligence on each one, so that less-than-the-best solution will be made.
To minimize the problem, the engineer of the owners and managers should begin work immediately to identify possible advisors and develop relationships with one or two to call.
As well as borrowing money from banks, the best time to do it is when you do not need.
