Apple is close to concluding its unique deal with Kia-Hyundai in a unique alliance and integration to produce the iCar, a self-driving car that will bear the “Apple” brand, and it seems that it will be closer to science fiction, and will increase the world's fascination even more with the company "Apple", and at the same time will increase the value of "Kia-Hyundai", that alliance is an example of many successful partnerships and successful alliances in the world, which has become a different world, staying in alliances and integration instead of fatal competitions and relying on competitive advantage, the world is heading more for advantage. Complementarity rather than competitive advantage, and the same must happen at the individual level as well.
- I do not know how difficult or difficult it is for a person to mention the source of the content he publishes. |
It is noticeable in many cases when an entrepreneur presents a successful and innovative product or service, many quickly copy the idea and imitate it, without any effort or innovation.
This extends from startups to simpler businesses and practices, even in “social media” publications and “YouTube” channels. As soon as someone succeeds in reaching a large number of followers, many quickly rush to present a similar channel or similar content, thinking that they will achieve success. The problem here is not in learning from others, or as the management literature explains about standard comparisons and learning from the experiences of others, but the problem is in blind imitation, but rather which is stupid at times, and it seems that the topic is related to culture and upbringing, so the vast majority find no objection to stealing Any content from communication channels and publishing it on their pages, as if they were the ones who authored that content, and the worst is that many of them are university professors, as well as journalists, lawyers, doctors, and other professions.
Thus, how do we trust a journalist or university professor who steals content and puts it on his page without indicating the source!
Where is integrity and professionalism, so it has become a norm to steal companies' ideas, and even steal the effort of others without shame.
I don’t know what is difficult or difficult for a person to mention the source of the content he publishes, and what is the problem for people to cooperate in place of imitation and sometimes dishonest competition, is it not better for there to be integration, and thus each party strengthens the other side, and meets the deficiency that he has, and is presented Integrated content.
Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the positive energy and strength generated by cooperation and integration?
Didn’t the monotheistic religions encourage us to cooperate with each other?
Did the Holy Quran not urge us to cooperate in righteousness and piety?
Have we not studied in the many courses we attended the importance of working as a team?
Did we not study in elementary school the story of the father who gathered his three children and gave them a stick to break it easily, but when he gave them a bundle of sticks, he was difficult for them to break?
Have we not learned the lesson yet?
If now is not the right time, when will we learn?
