How in the world can business or professional people deal with all of today's issues that are making it almost impossible for business to perform its functions in our society--providing jobs, profitable returns on investments, creating the wealth needed to make our society safe, healthful and a great place to live?
The Business Executive Has 5 Options For Dealing With These Problems
1) TAKE INDIVIDUAL ACTION -- The executive can opt to take individual action in attempting to solve the problems. No one can hope to solve these problems alone, and particularly so if at the same time it is necessary to sustain a profitable business.
2) HIRE A STAFF -- The executive could allocate some of the company's resources to hiring a staff of experienced and competent people whose assignment would be to solve these problems. This is a little better than individual action and terribly expensive.
3) LET GOVERNMENT DO IT -- The executive could opt to let government deal with these issues. The cost in taxes, regulatory controls, and business development constraints would make it prohibitively costly and could conceivably jeopardize the profitable continuation of the business.
4) DO NOTHING -- The executive can always opt to do nothing. THIS WOULD BE THE SAME AS OPTING TO LET GOVERNMENT DO IT.
5) TAKE COLLECTIVE ACTION -- The executive could opt to band together with other concerned executives and undertake collective and coordinated action to deal with issues. THIS IS VOLUNTARISM, the most powerful force for change and achieving society goals ever devised. THIS IS A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
When courageous business leaders band together to undertake aggressive action programs that are in the best interest of the total community, both business and the community prosper.
This is the purpose of a chamber of commerce, but only with the members' maximum participation and investment will it be this kind of force.
