Improving Market Competition Via Lab Equipment

 Recently I talked with a businessman Mr. Chhiv Earn who has multiple businesses ranging from mini mart, gas station, fresh fruit shop, café, call center, lab equipment trading ….. Among these businesses, lab equipment strikes me the most.

 Cambodian producers should focus on meeting local demands. Mr. Chhiv Earn said that Cambodian agriculture is finding its hard time to compete against its neighbors in terms of export. Therefore, Cambodian farmers and producers should instead focus on producing for domestic sales and improving quality to fight against imports from neighboring countries.

 Standard and quality improvement is a key to promote domestic products for domestic needs. With his large networks and acknowledging the needs for quality assurance and promotion, Mr. Chhiv Earn links between producers and testing equipment from oversea. The stronger links he has, the higher quantity of orders he enjoys.

 Education helps producers understand the importance of quality control for competition. Currently, Mr. Chhiv Earn is putting his efforts to educate producers about quality standards and how to assure the quality. With customers who order lab equipment, he is helping customers to understand more processes and how to use the equipment effectively through a learning management system where customers can learn and monitor their progresses.

Customers who can produce with quality will be able to join his network of community market and build their band of quality domestic products. Outside the box, he engages local leaders and government officers so that his effort will go as smooth as possible.

Seeing the problems and creating solutions are vital to his business. Mr. Chhiv Earn is quick to see the problems and opportunities as well as having ideas on how to serve. He is my inspiration on how to observe, analyze and serve.

The first creation can be either by conscious design, or as a result of outside pressures. In real life, w hen the artist draws something, he already has a clear picture of what he is drawing. It is not possible that he draws when he is thinking about what to draw. If I have a clear vision of my destination, my efforts would be more effective and productive in my daily activities. When we begin with the end in mind, our lives cam be more meaningful and stay on the righteous personal constitution. The book explains that a personal constitution is a written standard, the key criterion by which everything is evaluated and direct. Personal constitution shows the end state in mind. It shows who we are, what we do and what valued we are based on. Without it, we will wander around back and ...

Moving Within the Framework of My Values

  This is another eye opening week for me. I have learned from a case study where willingness to listen is crucial for business. Listening can open many opportunities to meet the needs of people.  This week I also learned more about my own values and passion. I have drawn this illustration for anyone's reflection.  At the end, we are not measured by money.  We are measured by our contribution, characters as a good person, and relationship with others.
