Challenges and opportunities
Veikko J. Pyhtilä, 2020.
- Think about the development targets and problems that your industry could and could produce as a commodity!
- If you are making a career choice, thinking about studying or going into business, you can go through which industries you would choose? Could you change your profession or go to another industry?
- Think of the benefits and harms for yourself, others, the economy, safety, the environment, health, morals, etc. as you make your choices and produce, sell your goods! It is good and bad and everyone is responsible for their ethical principles and values in their operations.
- What would be the problems and areas for improvement in your industry?
- What commodities and ideas you could transfer from one industry to another. What could be sold or bought for another industry?
- What new industries would you come up with? In what area could you expand your business? Which activities should be abandoned? Which industry will change or be excluded in the future?
- What kind of cooperation could you have with the actors in your industry, other industries and actors?
- Wish we could get links to solutions and more in-depth information about products, services, methods, ideas, advice, opinions, etc., under the industries! We can divide industries into their own pages as long as there are enough links to the websites of the industries and operators. We can also place links below the problem areas above.
- In browsers, you can put the Search Page field, etc. in the menu, or press Ctrl + F to search the page for items with different search terms, or in the smartphone menu, Search Page, etc.
