Government Business Management Program to prevent future Crises and boost By : Harry Greene - Governments around the world are promising programs to prevent future business management problems After every economic, financial, or corporate governance crisis, governments promise action to prevent problems from happening again. The actions invariably impose more regulations on enterprises, which increase management costs and complexity, and do not address or solve the actual problems. There is only one problem to solve, the problem of obsolete 20th century enterprise management The fundamental problem underlying every economic, financial, and corporate governance crisis is the failure to understand and manage the business properly on the part of managers, accountants and auditors, and government regulators. The problems are inherent in 20th century management structures laid over businesses worldwide that prevent actual business management. There is only one solution, organize the actual business with R-pM and apply 21st Century Management Conventions and Standards The solution to the problem is available today with Result-performance Management (R-pM) to assist businesses, professional bodies, educational institutions, business service and solution providers, and government programs to institute and support proper business management. R-pM replaces 20th century management structures laid over the business, with one business structure for 21st Century Management.

A foward-looking government must take the lead to institute a “Business Management Program” as discussed in this article. Once one government establishes its country as the leader and begins the program, other countries will be forced to follow. But, the lead country will always have the advantages developed by the leader. Team Building: An art of Human Nature.
