Week 1_Yueming Tan


I learned three critical factors by reading these articles such as hiring the right people, creating what people need and reducing the cost of production. What I find confusing is the second point, creating what people need because the current "things" are too many and people often buy things they don't need at all. This phenomenon of blind consumption has caused over-manufacturing and led to a waste of resources. This is not good for a business or a country.

On the other hand, people lack imagination and always create things that have the same function. For example, a nice thermos bottle. Yes, it's just a thermos bottle that people use to keep water or coffee warm. The manufacturer slightly modified its shape or color, and it was a new product, but there was no practical change or improvement.
