Organization : Compliance or Choice


Organization should approach strategic choice since it generates opportunities and open room to compete with other competitors within industry. On this basis, strategic choice encourages new ideas, innovation and creates a uniqueness which leads to the competitive advantage. At this point, this will construct a big gap amongst its competitors to imitate and catch up them. Indirectly organization that focuses this concept will be a market leader in the industry, increasing leadership in organizing and leading companies, that to the extent it can be associated with what Blue Ocean Strategy is. This could achieve when it creates value to both buyer and company. 

A good example is Air Asia which operating in Malaysia forms room in budget airline industry with the tagline 'Every One Can Fly', sounds catchy and attractive. Air Asia had managed to avoid the red ocean (compete with Malaysian Airline and regional airline) by looking into the factors that important to its customers. By understanding the utmost need of customers is to fly, so the company focus is every Malaysian at least can fly once, thus it creates a mutual benefit. Budget become an ultimate focus and Air Asia strategic move is by eliminating over the counter booking system, free food/beverage on the plane and seating class booking. Apart from that, they also reduce seat quality and luxury facilities provided by airport lounge and few more things. 


Recycle Botol Kaca?


Botol oh botol.
Teringat zaman kanak-kanak, selalu tolong emak kumpulkan botol terpakai untuk dijual. Ada botol kicap, cuka, cili dan tomato. Urmmm...botol-botol lain tak ingat. Paling gembira bila dapat pulangan, biarpun hasil jualan botol terpakai tidak seberapa, tetapi pada masa tu 2,3 hinggit amat besar nilainya. Kadang kala botol dirembat adik-adik lelaki buat simpanan hasil tangkapan ikan. Biar betul, besar ke botol tu? Muat kalau setakat ikan darat – bila musim tengkujuh macam-macam ikan yang keluar, seronok menangguk di tepian bendang dan sawah padi. Tapi kerana takut dimarahi arwah abah, adik-adik akan simpan botol-botol mereka di bawah katil. Hehe

Sebenarnya kat sini nak berkongsi cara untuk menghilangkan kesan gam/pelakat pada botol. Niat di hati mahu keluar mencari jar kecil/botol tapi agak malas dan bila survey  harganya 3 dollar lebih macam sayang pula nak labur begitu aje. Kebetulan di dapur ada botol mayonis yang isinya dah ke hujung nyawa, hehe..so jadi mangsalah.. Projek punya projek maka terhasillah...


Macam botol baru kan? Caranya mudah sangat. Hanya perlu bersihkan botol dan rendam dengan air panas (kalau you all nak rebus botol tu pun boleh juga).  Bila dah sejuk, dengan mudahnya pelekat tu akan tertanggal. Tapi!!! Mesti bengangkan bila kesan gam masih ada? Apa yang perlu dilakukan, ambil kitchen towel/apa-apa kain dan celupkan dengan cuka lepas tu gosok pada botol tu. Nak tenyeh ke nak sental ke, suka hatilah asalkan kesan gam tersebut hilang. Senangkan?


Ni dia botol terpakai yang dah dikerjakan, kita guna untuk isikan serbuk kopi putih. Nanti boleh recycle 2,3 botol lagi. Botol ni amat sesuai kalau diisi homemade jam kan? So, selamat mencuba.
