台湾有位著名实业家,他经营的公司,几年前就跻身台湾十大公司之列。在他的经营策略中,有一条秘诀:经济不景气的时候,可能是企业投资与展开扩建计划的适当时机。他认为:在不景气之时投资新的计划,至少建厂的成本比较低,同时,在不景气时建厂,等到工厂建成时(兴建一座现代化工厂约需1年半到2年的时间),市场已开始复苏,正好赶上好时机。无独有偶,被誉为“经营之神”日本的松下幸之助也同样认为:经济不景气之时,正是扩建新厂的好时机。经济愈是不景气,建筑材料与工资就愈低,而且企业的弊病, Taiwan’s famous industrialist, the company he runs, was among the top ten companies in Taiwan a few years ago. Among his business strategies, there is a secret: When the economy is in a sluggish state, it may be the right time for companies to invest in and expand expansion plans. He believes that investing in new projects in times of recession will require at least lower costs to build factories, and at the same time, build factories in the downturn and wait until the factory is built (a modern factory takes about one and a half to two years). The market has begun to recover, just in time to catch up. Coincidentally, Japan’s Matsushita, known as the “God of Operations,” also believes that when the economy is in recession, it is a good time to expand a new factory. The more sluggish the economy, the lower the construction materials and wages, and the company’s ills.
