Zorro is diligently going to his weekly classes at Backward Business School. He says he is learning a lot. Today he learned about sticking to core business.
“A business should stick to its core activities,” lectured Hubris. “These would be Senior management, Doggy Resources, Payroll, Legal, Offices, Community interactions, Conferences, Meetings etc. This is what corporations are good at, everything else should be contracted out.”
The inquisitive Newfoundlander raised his paw: “But what you list is only administration, there is no business. Do you mean that these services should be kept in-house to serve the real business?”
Hubris looked irritated; “I don’t think you are getting it, Doggy Resources etc is business. It is what we manage!”
The Newfoundlander looked down and muttered something about work. Hubris heard him and said he was not sure he was suited to this course. Zorro kept his mouth shut.
