BUILDING A VIRTUAL CORPORATION - INTRODUCTION
On this Blog I want to discuss with everybody who is interested in this topic the superb book of the German Philosopher Anton Graf Schlawinski-Mettelstock. Schlawinski-Mettelstock is nearly unknown, nevertheless one of the sharpest minds of our time. Like nobody he has analyzed the giant impact on society and human life, caused by the technological breakthroughs of the late 20th centuries. In his recent book "Building Your Own Virtual Corporation" he goes into detail how every single person, like you and me, can take advantage of the newly created possibilities: to free ourselves from state and corporate slavery we have to build our very own corporations!
This book explains how to craft your virtual corporation and give your business or start-up the boost it needs to thrive in the global market-without spending or investing thousands of dollars as you would in a typical brick-and-mortar business venture.
Since the inception and spread of the internet, our world has changed. Boundaries once thought un-crossable have not only been crossed, they have been erased by the expansion of cyberspace. These days, you can hop online and instantly connect with someone on the other side of the world. It's incredible when you stop to think about it.
Perhaps the biggest impact of the internet has been in the world of business, where the term "global market" has taken on a whole new meaning. The ability to connect with nearly all of civilization with a simple click of the mouse has enabled large companies to grow even larger; and small companies that would never have otherwise succeeded to flourish. Target markets can be identified, reached and serviced with the same level of professionalism whether a company consists of several thousand employees and twenty levels of management, or a couple of guys working out of a garage-and believe it or not, online consumer giant Amazon.com started out as exactly that. How about search engine behemoth Google? A couple of guys working from their basement.
Behold the power of the internet.
With the dot-com busts of the eighties gone but not forgotten, businesses have learned their lessons and become more online-savvy than ever. The marketing waters have been tested, and it's possible-and even likely-for a small business owner or venture start-up to craft an enormous web presence that makes them appear as big as Pepsi.
