The moral injury of having your work enshittified

This Monday (November 27), I'm appearing at the Toronto Metro Reference Library with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

On November 29, I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

This week, I wrote about how the Great Enshittening – in which all the digital services we rely on become unusable, extractive piles of shit – did not result from the decay of the morals of tech company leadership, but rather, from the collapse of the forces that discipline corporate wrongdoing:

https://locusmag.com/2023/11/commentary-by-cory-doctorow-dont-be-evil/

The failure to enforce competition law allowed a few companies to buy out their rivals, or sell goods below cost until their rivals collapsed, or bribe key parts of their supply chain not to allow rivals to participate:

https://www.engadget.com/google-reportedly-pays-apple-36-percent-of-ad-search-revenues-from-safari-191730783.html

The resulting concentration of the tech sector meant that the surviving firms were stupendously wealthy, and cozy enough that they could agree on a common legislative agenda. That regulatory capture has allowed tech companies to violate labor, privacy and consumer protection laws by arguing that the law doesn't apply when you use an app to violate it:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men

But the regulatory capture isn't just about preventing regulation: it's also about creating regulation – laws that make it illegal to reverse-engineer, scrape, and otherwise mod, hack or reconfigure existing services to claw back value that has been taken away from users and business customers. This gives rise to Jay Freeman's perfectly named doctrine of "felony contempt of business-model," in which it is illegal to use your own property in ways that anger the shareholders of the company that sold it to you:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/09/lead-me-not-into-temptation/#chamberlain

Undisciplined by the threat of competition, regulation, or unilateral modification by users, companies are free to enshittify their products. But what does that actually look like? I say that enshittification is always precipitated by a lost argument.

It starts when someone around a board-room table proposes doing something that's bad for users but good for the company. If the company faces the discipline of competition, regulation or self-help measures, then the workers who are disgusted by this course of action can say, "I think doing this would be gross, and what's more, it's going to make the company poorer," and so they win the argument.

But when you take away that discipline, the argument gets reduced to, "Don't do this because it would make me ashamed to work here, even though it will make the company richer." Money talks, bullshit walks. Let the enshittification begin!

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/22/who-wins-the-argument/#corporations-are-people-my-friend

But why do workers care at all? That's where phrases like "don't be evil" come into the picture. Until very recently, tech workers participated in one of history's tightest labor markets, in which multiple companies with gigantic war-chests bid on their labor. Even low-level employees routinely fielded calls from recruiters who dangled offers of higher salaries and larger stock grants if they would jump ship for a company's rival.

Employers built "campuses" filled with lavish perks: massages, sports facilities, daycare, gourmet cafeterias. They offered workers generous benefit packages, including exotic health benefits like having your eggs frozen so you could delay fertility while offsetting the risks normally associated with conceiving at a later age.

But all of this was a transparent ruse: the business-case for free meals, gyms, dry-cleaning, catering and massages was to keep workers at their laptops for 10, 12, or even 16 hours per day. That egg-freezing perk wasn't about helping workers plan their families: it was about thumbing the scales in favor of working through your entire twenties and thirties without taking any parental leave.

In other words, tech employers valued their employees as a means to an end: they wanted to get the best geeks on the payroll and then work them like government mules. The perks and pay weren't the result of comradeship between management and labor: they were the result of the discipline of competition for labor.

This wasn't really a secret, of course. Big Tech workers are split into two camps: blue badges (salaried employees) and green badges (contractors). Whenever there is a slack labor market for a specific job or skill, it is converted from a blue badge job to a green badge job. Green badges don't get the food or the massages or the kombucha. They don't get stock or daycare. They don't get to freeze their eggs. They also work long hours, but they are incentivized by the fear of poverty.

Tech giants went to great lengths to shield blue badges from green badges – at some Google campuses, these workforces actually used different entrances and worked in different facilities or on different floors. Sometimes, green badge working hours would be staggered so that the armies of ragged clickworkers would not be lined up to badge in when their social betters swanned off the luxury bus and into their airy adult kindergartens.

But Big Tech worked hard to convince those blue badges that they were truly valued. Companies hosted regular town halls where employees could ask impertinent questions of their CEOs. They maintained freewheeling internal social media sites where techies could rail against corporate foolishness and make Dilbert references.

And they came up with mottoes.

Apple told its employees it was a sound environmental steward that cared about privacy. Apple also deliberately turned old devices into e-waste by shredding them to ensure that they wouldn't be repaired and compete with new devices:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/22/vin-locking/#thought-differently

And even as they were blocking Facebook's surveillance tools, they quietly built their own nonconsensual mass surveillance program and lied to customers about it:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar

Facebook told employees they were on a "mission to connect every person in the world," but instead deliberately sowed discontent among its users and trapped them in silos that meant that anyone who left Facebook lost all their friends:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/facebooks-secret-war-switching-costs

And Google promised its employees that they would not "be evil" if they worked at Google. For many googlers, that mattered. They wanted to do something good with their lives, and they had a choice about who they would work for. What's more, they did make things that were good. At their high points, Google Maps, Google Mail, and of course, Google Search were incredible.

My own life was totally transformed by Maps: I have very poor spatial sense, need to actually stop and think to tell my right from my left, and I spent more of my life at least a little lost and often very lost. Google Maps is the cognitive prosthesis I needed to become someone who can go anywhere. I'm profoundly grateful to the people who built that service.

There's a name for phenomenon in which you care so much about your job that you endure poor conditions and abuse: it's called "vocational awe," as coined by Fobazi Ettarh:

https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocational-awe/

Ettarh uses the term to apply to traditionally low-waged workers like librarians, teachers and nurses. In our book Chokepoint Capitalism, Rebecca Giblin and I talked about how it applies to artists and other creative workers, too:

https://chokepointcapitalism.com/

But vocational awe is also omnipresent in tech. The grandiose claims to be on a mission to make the world a better place are not just puffery – they're a vital means of motivating workers who can easily quit their jobs and find a new one to put in 16-hour days. The massages and kombucha and egg-freezing are not framed as perks, but as logistical supports, provided so that techies on an important mission can pursue a shared social goal without being distracted by their balky, inconvenient meatsuits.

Steve Jobs was a master of instilling vocational awe. He was full of aphorisms like "we're here to make a dent in the universe, otherwise why even be here?" Or his infamous line to John Sculley, whom he lured away from Pepsi: "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life or come with me and change the world?"

Vocational awe cuts both ways. If your workforce actually believes in all that high-minded stuff, if they actually sacrifice their health, family lives and self-care to further the mission, they will defend it. That brings me back to enshittification, and the argument: "If we do this bad thing to the product I work on, it will make me hate myself."

The decline in market discipline for large tech companies has been accompanied by a decline in labor discipline, as the market for technical work grew less and less competitive. Since the dotcom collapse, the ability of tech giants to starve new entrants of market oxygen has shrunk techies' dreams.

Tech workers once dreamed of working for a big, unwieldy firm for a few years before setting out on their own to topple it with a startup. Then, the dream shrank: work for that big, clumsy firm for a few years, then do a fake startup that makes a fake product that is acquihired by your old employer, as an incredibly inefficient and roundabout way to get a raise and a bonus.

Then the dream shrank again: work for a big, ugly firm for life, but get those perks, the massages and the kombucha and the stock options and the gourmet cafeteria and the egg-freezing. Then it shrank again: work for Google for a while, but then get laid off along with 12,000 co-workers, just months after the company does a stock buyback that would cover all those salaries for the next 27 years:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/10/the-proletarianization-of-tech-workers/

Tech workers' power was fundamentally individual. In a tight labor market, tech workers could personally stand up to their bosses. They got "workplace democracy" by mouthing off at town hall meetings. They didn't have a union, and they thought they didn't need one. Of course, they did need one, because there were limits to individual power, even for the most in-demand workers, especially when it came to ghastly, long-running sexual abuse from high-ranking executives:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/technology/google-sexual-harassment-andy-rubin.html

Today, atomized tech workers who are ordered to enshittify the products they take pride in are losing the argument. Workers who put in long hours, missed funerals and school plays and little league games and anniversaries and family vacations are being ordered to flush that sacrifice down the toilet to grind out a few basis points towards a KPI.

It's a form of moral injury, and it's palpable in the first-person accounts of former workers who've exited these large firms or the entire field. The viral "Reflecting on 18 years at Google," written by Ian Hixie, vibrates with it:

https://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1700627373

Hixie describes the sense of mission he brought to his job, the workplace democracy he experienced as employees' views were both solicited and heeded. He describes the positive contributions he was able to make to a commons of technical standards that rippled out beyond Google – and then, he says, "Google's culture eroded":

Decisions went from being made for the benefit of users, to the benefit of Google, to the benefit of whoever was making the decision.

In other words, techies started losing the argument. Layoffs weakened worker power – not just to defend their own interest, but to defend the users interests. Worker power is always about more than workers – think of how the 2019 LA teachers' strike won greenspace for every school, a ban on immigration sweeps of students' parents at the school gates and other community benefits:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/23/a-collective-bargain/

Hixie attributes the changes to a change in leadership, but I respectfully disagree. Hixie points to the original shareholder letter from the Google founders, in which they informed investors contemplating their IPO that they were retaining a controlling interest in the company's governance so that they could ignore their shareholders' priorities in favor of a vision of Google as a positive force in the world:

https://abc.xyz/investor/founders-letters/ipo-letter/

Hixie says that the leadership that succeeded the founders lost sight of this vision – but the whole point of that letter is that the founders never fully ceded control to subsequent executive teams. Yes, those executive teams were accountable to the shareholders, but the largest block of voting shares were retained by the founders.

I don't think the enshittification of Google was due to a change in leadership – I think it was due to a change in discipline, the discipline imposed by competition, regulation and the threat of self-help measures. Take ads: when Google had to contend with one-click adblocker installation, it had to constantly balance the risk of making users so fed up that they googled "how do I block ads?" and then never saw another ad ever again.

But once Google seized the majority of the mobile market, it was able to funnel users into apps, and reverse-engineering an app is a felony (felony contempt of business-model) under Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. An app is just a web-page wrapped in enough IP to make it a crime to install an ad-blocker.

And as Google acquired control over the browser market, it was likewise able to reduce the self-help measures available to browser users who found ads sufficiently obnoxious to trigger googling "how do I block ads?" The apotheosis of this is the yearslong campaign to block adblockers in Chrome, which the company has sworn it will finally do this coming June:

https://www.tumblr.com/tevruden/734352367416410112/you-have-until-june-to-dump-chrome

My contention here is not that Google's enshittification was precipitated by a change in personnel via the promotion of managers who have shitty ideas. Google's enshittification was precipitated by a change in discipline, as the negative consequences of heeding those shitty ideas were abolished thanks to monopoly.

This is bad news for people like me, who rely on services like Google Maps as cognitive prostheses. Elizabeth Laraki, one of the original Google Maps designers, has published a scorching critique of the latest GMaps design:

https://twitter.com/elizlaraki/status/1727351922254852182

Laraki calls out numerous enshittificatory design-choices that have left Maps screens covered in "crud" – multiple revenue-maximizing elements that come at the expense of usability, shifting value from users to Google.

What Laraki doesn't say is that these UI elements are auctioned off to merchants, which means that the business that gives Google the most money gets the greatest prominence in Maps, even if it's not the best merchant. That's a recurring motif in enshittified tech platforms, most notoriously Amazon, which makes $31b/year auctioning off top search placement to companies whose products aren't relevant enough to your query to command that position on their own:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/25/greedflation/#commissar-bezos

Enshittification begets enshittification. To succeed on Amazon, you must divert funds from product quality to auction placement, which means that the top results are the worst products:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/06/attention-rents/#consumer-welfare-queens

The exception is searches for Apple products: Apple and Amazon have a cozy arrangement that means that searches for Apple products are a timewarp back to the pre-enshittification Amazon, when the company worried enough about losing your business to heed the employees who objected to sacrificing search quality as part of a merchant extortion racket:

https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-gives-apple-special-treatment-while-others-suffer-junk-ads-2023-11

Not every tech worker is a tech bro, in other words. Many workers care deeply about making your life better. But the microeconomics of the boardroom in a monopolized tech sector rewards the worst people and continuously promotes them. Forget the Peter Principle: tech is ruled by the Sam Principle.

As OpenAI went through four CEOs in a single week, lots of commentators remarked on Sam Altman's rise and fall and rise, but I only found one commentator who really had Altman's number. Writing in Today in Tabs, Rusty Foster nailed Altman to the wall:

https://www.todayintabs.com/p/defective-accelerationism

Altman's history goes like this: first, he founded a useless startup that raised $30m, only to be acquired and shuttered. Then Altman got a job running Y Combinator, where he somehow failed at taking huge tranches of equity from "every Stanford dropout with an idea for software to replace something Mommy used to do." After that, he founded OpenAI, a company that he claims to believe presents an existential risk to the entire human risk – which he structured so incompetently that he was then forced out of it.

His reward for this string of farcical, mounting failures? He was put back in charge of the company he mis-structured despite his claimed belief that it will destroy the human race if not properly managed.

Altman's been around for a long time. He founded his startup in 2005. There've always been Sams – of both the Bankman-Fried varietal and the Altman genus – in tech. But they didn't get to run amok. They were disciplined by their competitors, regulators, users and workers. The collapse of competition led to an across-the-board collapse in all of those forms of discipline, revealing the executives for the mediocre sociopaths they always were, and exposing tech workers' vocational awe for the shabby trick it was from the start.

Meta Unveils Centralized Ad Targeting and Data Privacy Controls for Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger

Introduction

This blog covers the importance of centralized data and social media advertising controls for advertisers, partners, and users. You’ll read about Facebook, IG, and Messenger data privacy and the role of platforms as ad blockers. As the Best Digital Marketing Company in Pune, we explain what a centralized system is, its benefits and risks, and how you can run one yourself or partner with an organization that has an operations center to provide remote maintenance services.

What is a Centralized Data Structure?

A centralized data structure is software that stores data, including brands and products, on a server that you control. The data is organized into categories, each containing customer, product, or service information. Examples include an inventory management system for food and beverage businesses, an app data structure with user information for mobile apps, and an e-commerce product data structure with product details such as sales and price data.

Benefits of Centralized Data for Ads and Partners

Most of the benefits of a centralized data structure can be attributed to multiple factors, including reduced data management and an overall increase in transparency for all parties involved.

- In a centralized data structure, all your data is organized and controlled by a single system. The data is then accessible via a central server that anyone with access to the Internet can access.

- Centralized data storage solves many problems that traditional data storage systems cannot: - It provides granularity, which means you can assign a value of 0 to one and have it remain visible to all parties in the ad and marketing systems.

- It is data-driven, meaning you can assign a low value to one event and see the full data across multiple ad pages.

- It provides security since each record is encrypted with a key. This prevents anyone from accessing the data without a key and also helps prevent cross-referencing between records.

- It provides transparency since each record is easily viewable by anyone with access to the Internet.

Risks of Virtual & Augmented Reality Ads

While centralized data can be a good thing in certain situations, it’s important to keep these bottom-line risks in mind: - Augmented reality ads are almost never fully transparent. The user first sees the ads in the form of VR/AR images. They are then augmented with voice-driven advertising that could be heard through a speaker or a web browser. - For the advertiser, the ads are often located in a remote location, which increases the risk of going viral. If people start sharing their ads online, the advertiser could be exposed to lawsuits or other such situations. - For the partner, the centralized data structure could be used to store sensitive information, like health and safety information and product information. That could contain a name, address, and other identification information.

Conclusion

The biggest risk that investors can take with virtual and augmented reality ads is that they could spark a breach of data security. That could jeopardize the integrity of your brand and end in lost revenue. You can rest a little bit easier knowing that your data is safe and secure in the cloud.

Introduction: The Digital Frontier of Entrepreneurship

In today's digital age, the rise of the internet and technology has revolutionized the way we do business. It has opened a world of opportunities for entrepreneurs to start and run their own businesses online. Online businesses offer flexibility, scalability, and the potential for global reach. This comprehensive guide will provide you with a step-by-step framework for building a profitable online business from the ground up. Whether you want to start a side business or build a full-time online empire, follow this ultimate guide to turn your idea into a thriving, sustainable online business. With focus, grit, and commitment to continuous improvement, you can build the profitable online business of your dreams.

Selecting a Niche and Business Model: The Foundation of Success

The foundation of every successful online business is choosing a profitable, in-demand niche and a business model tailored to your goals. Select a niche you're passionate about; this will make creating content a breeze. Conduct thorough keyword research to assess search volume and demand. Join relevant online communities to connect with your audience and understand their needs. Evaluate direct competitors in the niche and aim for less saturated niches or unique angles. Consider affiliate marketing potential, as some niches offer higher commissions. Assess opportunities to create multiple products and monetize in diverse ways. Examples of popular online business niches include health, fitness, personal finance, pet care, tech, travel, content marketing, home design, spirituality, language learning, and more. Choose a business model that complements your niche and provides multiple income stream opportunities. Many successful online businesses incorporate 3-4 monetization models. Some of the best online business models to consider include: 1. Blogging: Make money with display ads, affiliates, and branded products. 2. Online Courses: Sell your knowledge and expertise as courses. 3. Dropshipping: Curate and sell products without inventory. 4. Affiliate Marketing: Earn commissions promoting other companies' products. 5. Information Products: Sell online books, templates, checklists, and more. 6. Virtual Services: Provide consulting, freelancing, coaching, or other services. 7. Subscription Membership Site: Offer exclusive content or tools for a monthly fee. 8. E-commerce Store: Sell physical products, merchandising, and more. Your choice should complement your niche and offer multiple income streams. Many successful online businesses incorporate 3-4 monetization models.

Building Your Online Platform and Brand: Your Digital Headquarters

Your website or blog will serve as the headquarters for your online business. Invest time upfront in creating an optimized, professional-looking platform. Purchase a domain name that matches your brand, ideally a .com if available. Select reliable web hosting with optimal speed and uptime. Install WordPress or ecommerce platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce. Design an on-brand, mobile-responsive theme that conveys your style. Include essential pages like Home, About, Contact, Services, Blog, and Shop. Set up email marketing and analytics to capture leads and track traffic data. Create visually branded assets such as logos, color palettes, fonts, and graphics. Ensure a cohesive user experience across all touchpoints. If you lack web development skills, consider hiring a freelance designer to bring your vision to life. Continually optimize your website for higher traffic, leads, and sales over time. This includes technical enhancements, user experience improvements, and page speed optimizations.

Creating High-Demand Products and Services: Delivering Value to Your Audience

The key to running a profitable online business is consistently creating products and services that deliver extreme value to your audience. Popular digital products you can create include online courses, eBooks, guides, checklists, software, premium memberships, virtual events, video tutorials, templates, and more. When brainstorming products, look for opportunities to simplify lives, save time, educate, entertain, or improve outcomes for your target customers. Leverage your expertise and tap into the skills of others to create premium offerings. High-value services like consulting, freelancing, coaching, and more can also be extremely lucrative. Promote your services through your website and social platforms. Structure your offerings to passively earn income over time, such as online courses that continually generate sales vs. 1-on-1 services that require ongoing effort. Deliver an excellent user experience across your products and relentlessly optimize based on feedback to foster raving fans who refer others.

Implementing Effective Marketing Strategies: Attracting Targeted Traffic

Once your online platform and offerings are ready, it's time to start attracting targeted traffic using proven marketing tactics. A diverse marketing mix is key. Some of the top strategies include: 1. Content Marketing: Create engaging blog posts, videos, and visual content. 2. SEO: Optimize your website for search engines through on-page optimization and link-building. 3. PPC Ads: Utilize platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for pay-per-click advertising. 4. Email Marketing: Build your email list with lead magnets, newsletters, and automation. 5. Social Media Marketing: Employ organic and paid tactics to engage your audience. 6. Affiliate Marketing: Recruit others to promote your products and earn commissions. 7. Influencer Partnerships: Collaborate with relevant influencers in your niche. 8. Live Events: Host local meetups or virtual events to connect with your audience. 9. Podcast Guest Appearances: Grow your authority and reach new audiences. 10. Retargeting Ads: Remarket to previous site visitors across the web. Start by focusing on 1-3 core channels, then expand your efforts over time. Pay-per-click and social ads can help quickly scale an audience, while SEO and content creation tend to be most cost-effective in the long-term. Leverage tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Business Suite, and landing page builders to optimize results across all campaigns. Don't hesitate to enlist help from digital marketing agencies and specialists.

Diversifying Revenue Streams for Maximum Profits: Building Financial Stability

Generating multiple streams of revenue is key for building a highly profitable online business. Diversification reduces risk and provides stability as each income channel goes through ups and downs. Here are some of the most lucrative online business revenue models: 1. Product/Service Sales: Your core monetization stream. Ensure competitive yet profitable pricing. 2. Advertising: Display ads, sponsorships, native advertising, etc. Set up Google Ad Manager. 3. Affiliate Marketing: Promote other company's products for commissions. Join affiliate networks. 4. Memberships/Subscriptions: Offer exclusive benefits, content, or tools for a monthly fee. 5. Events: Sell tickets for online or in-person events and training programs. 6. Dropshipping: Curate and sell products without holding inventory. 7. Physical Merchandise: Sell branded products with print-on-demand services. 8. Consulting/Freelancing: Sell your skills and expertise through 1-on-1 services. 9. Tip Jars/Donations: Allow fans to tip or donate to show support. Aim to generate income from both active efforts like service packages and passive streams like online courses that earn as you sleep. Automate processes wherever possible to scale income without increasing workload proportionally. Reinvest profits back into growing your business and diversifying income channels to create an unstoppable snowball effect over time.

Optimizing for Maximum Profitability Long-Term: Building a Sustainable Business

Launching a profitable online business is an important first step. However, creating systems and processes that enable high profitability long-term is vital for sustaining growth. Here are some best practices for optimizing operations and profitability: - Obsessively track KPIs and metrics for all marketing channels and funnels. Analyze data to optimize underperforming areas. - Create excellent customer support systems. Provide prompt, personalized support to increase satisfaction and referrals. - Automate repetitive tasks wherever possible with tools like Zapier. Automate lead collection, customer onboarding, analytics, inventory management, etc. - Systematize your product creation process to quickly test and validate new product ideas, then scale those that resonate. - Document your systems and processes so future hires can replicate them. This includes SOPs for customer service, product fulfillment, etc. - Build a skilled team over time by hiring virtual assistants, freelancers, agencies, and eventually full-time employees.

They are consumed as frozen cakes, frozen yogurts, and ice-cream which is their key application owing to the variety of flavors of the same available in the frozen desserts market. Moreover, the target customers show a predilection for ice-creams after meals, and that happens to be the reason for the considerably higher sales of ice-cream as compared to other frozen desserts. The consumption of ice-creams across the globe will observe a CAGR of 5% to 6% through to 2025.

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in developed economies, the year-on-year rise in disposable income was observed to be 3% to as much as 7.4% in 2016[2]; and further economic growth is aiding to the increase of the same. Moreover, developing economies are also observing a constant rise in disposable income. Apparently, people tend to spend this disposable income on consumable products that include frozen desserts, which is leading to a tangible growth in demand for the same.

The Emergence of Low-fat & Gluten-free Products –

It’s discernible that the world is moving towards a healthy lifestyle which largely attributes to the growing awareness about health and wellness owing to the easy access to a lot of health-related content available on digital platforms. This is quite evident when the International Dairy Foods Association documents low-fat ice-cream as the second most popular category in dairy foods[3]. Subsequently, people are shunning from foods that have high-fat content or are detrimental to health. So, the vendors in the frozen desserts market are offering a variety of low-fat & gluten-free products that are garnering a significant amount of customers, which is increasing the frozen desserts market revenue.

Editor's Note: The author would like to thank Brooke Tanner for her excellent work compiling data and research materials for this report. John Villasenor provided helpful comments and suggestions on this paper.

Executive summary

Investments in research and development are the most important keys to future prosperity. What countries spend on generating new knowledge, products, services, and processes is important for economic growth and technology innovation, and vital for national security and international competitiveness. In many different respects, such financing determines which nations will lead and what ones will lag behind.

Yet there currently are a number of barriers to R&D support in the United States and we need to do more to safeguard our future. There are limitations in terms of vision, strategy, and policies that could keep us from achieving vital national goals. America will not be able to maintain its contemporary leadership role unless it thinks more strategically about how to integrate important objectives into its R&D approach.

In this report, I outline a number of steps necessary to strengthen R&D in the United States. In particular, I suggest devoting more R&D money for the public good as opposed to the generation of consumer products, using federal money to reduce geographic inequities, financing R&D to help mitigate the consequences of climate change, tying R&D spending to national inclusion and equity goals, supporting critical infrastructure and products, providing greater flexibility for state and local government to prioritize R&D goals, and training the next generation of R&D talent.

he primacy of private investment

In looking at current investments, it is clear that most of our current R&D money comes from the private sector. In 2020, for example, of the $708 billion invested in R&D, $517.4 billion came from businesses, compared to $142.8 from the public sector, $22.6 billion from higher education, and $25.1 billion from nonprofit organizations.

Figure 1 shows the investment trends from 1982 to 2020, and the shift is quite striking. In 1982, the private ($40.7 billion) and public ($37.8 billion) sectors invested roughly the same amount of money. But 40 years later, businesses are investing 3.6 times as much money as the government. In 2020, the private sector provided $517.4 billion in R&D funding, compared to just $142.8 billion by the public sector.

At one level, there is nothing wrong with businesses having primacy over government in R&D spending. America has a vibrant private sector that enables business leaders to scan the landscape, decide where there are investment opportunities, and position their firms for future value. It is a virtue of market capitalism that such decisions are privately-made and decentralized across a range of chief executives.

But at another level, there are problems with the bulk of R&D coming from the business community. First, vital national interests may get overlooked to the detriment of the overall country. Second, profitable consumer products likely will get advantaged over unprofitable societal innovations, even if the latter are important for public health and national security. Third, innovations that need to get financed in order to promote longterm public goods may receive short shrift over items that promise a quick payoff. Corporate leaders are under enormous pressure to meet quarterly revenue projections and that can skew their R&D allocation decisions.

In an era of globalization, for instance, we have seen a number of cases where business leaders made decisions to outsource key products and components to other nations, such as China, India, and South Korea. As an example, semiconductor manufacturing largely was outsourced to Taiwan and South Korea despite the vitality of chips to the digital economy. When COVID upended global supply chains, our chip dependency on other countries limited growth in key sectors such as automotives and electronics.

The same thing happened in regard to medical supplies and drugs. Many of these items were made in India and China due to their cheaper production costs, and during the pandemic, it was hard to get personal protective equipment and pharmaceuticals. This harmed our public health responses and made it difficult for health professionals and patients to get the materials needed to safeguard their health.

These are just a few of the reasons why having relatively high business and low government R&D investments can be problematic. It may skew priorities in ways that make complete sense from a business perspective but harm national objectives. Business decisions generally emphasize profitable innovations and major consumer items that will generate corporate value as opposed to R&D investments for the public good designed to fight hunger, deal with income inequality, further national security, or improve public health.

The dominance of national government investment over that of states and localities

It also is instructive to see which level of government is providing the bulk of R&D investment. Figure 2 breaks down the public investment numbers by national versus state/local monies and the numbers show how things have changed since 1982. At that point, the federal government ($4.8 billion) invested more than states and localities ($616 million), but the gap in actual dollars was not that large.

Now, however, that difference has grown much larger in actual dollars. In 2020, the national government provided $46.2 billion in R&D, while states and localities generated $4.6 billion. This gap of $41.6 billion dollars shows that around 90 percent of government R&D comes from the federal government with relatively little activity from states and localities.

The dominance by the federal government is not necessarily problematic. If national leaders are making productive decisions and supporting a range of innovations, that approach could be perfectly fine. National leaders may be enabling a wide range of new advances in knowledge, products, and services, and that could be beneficial for the entire nation.

But federal dominance is problematic if the scope of innovation is limited and states and localities have little ability to prioritize based on their community needs and that innovations designed to address important community problems are neglected. In that situation, short-changing the vitality and diversity of local government can skew R&D decision-making and lead to important social priorities being ignored.

Comparisons with other nations

In its overall R&D investments as a percentage of GDP, the US compares favorably to the European Union and China, but not South Korea. Of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations, South Korea invests 4.8 percent of its GDP in R&D, while the US invests 3.5 percent, Japan does 3.3 percent, China invests 2.4 percent, the European Union does 2.2 percent, and Canada invests 1.7 percent.

It is good news that America compares favorably to most other leading countries in R&D spending. These investments are one of the reasons the United States has relatively high prosperity and plays a leading world role. Yet if it aspires to be the best, it needs to be the top investor in the world. Its R&D needs to focus on major priorities and make sure its investments are propelling the public good, is inclusive and diverse in its objectives, and addresses longterm challenges such as geographical inequities, clean energy, and climate change.

Investing in our future

Moving forward, the United States needs to be more strategic in how it invests in R&D, the kinds of priorities being pursued, and the manner in which we make the decisions associated with these investments. There are a number of steps America should consider in order to further important objectives and fulfill key national goals.

Pursue R&D for the public good

The US should not rely just on the private sector for its R&D investments because such a focus likely would place greater priority on consumer products as opposed to items needed for national security, public health, and amelioration of key social problems. The country faces many challenges ranging from income inequality and racial inequity to geographic variations in prosperity and climate change.

If we let business leaders make most of the R&D decisions, as is happening now, there is a risk they will prioritize profitable, consumer goods and services as opposed to innovations that address crucial difficulties. Where the public sector can play an important role is in identifying key problems and making sure that unprofitable but socially-needed innovations are supported and that America has the tools to address vital societal priorities.

Use federal money to redress geographic inequities

One key problem in the United States right now is the high level of geographical inequity. Brookings research shows that most of our nation’s GDP focuses on the East Coast, West Coast, and some metropolitan areas in between.

This parallels work that demonstrates most venture capital investments today focus on three states: California, New York, and Massachusetts. There is little money invested in the heartland, and this promotes geographical inequality and exacerbates societal and political tensions.

In its R&D decisions, the federal government should allocate money in a way that reduces geographical inequities and promotes the heartland. In a political system based on geographic representation, these types of inequalities fuel populism, ultra-nationalism, and political extremism. R&D allocations are not neutral but play a role either in reducing or exacerbating important challenges facing our current society. If we continue to put most of our R&D money onto the two coasts and a few metro areas in between, it will increase societal tensions and make it difficult to address important political and economic problems.

Deploy R&D to help with climate change

An important challenge facing every country around the world is climate change, extreme weather, and the transition to carbon-free energy. This challenge is going to affect every nation and require each place to increase its R&D investments to generate new products, processes, and services that mitigate negative effects and enable the transition to a fundamentally different kind of economy.

Both governments and businesses should prioritize R&D that address climate change and help cope with extreme weather, clean energy generation, water management, and the economic effects associated with each of these transformations. Leaders should elevate climate change as a major factor in R&D decisions due to its relevance in transportation, energy, and agriculture.

Tie R&D spending to inclusion and equity goals

Achieving a fair, just, and inclusive society is important for the United States and other places around the world, and in coming years our society and politics will look very different than they do right now. We need tax and social policies that ease this transition, but we also need R&D spending that sees equity as an important societal goal and prioritizes new knowledge, products, and processes that are fair and equitable. This includes AI that is not biased, facial recognition software that is accurate regardless of skin tone, steps to close the digital divide, and digital financial products that are available to all individuals. As one sign of current racial inequities, predominantly Black universities operate at a major financial disadvantage to other schools. Research by Christian Weller and colleagues at the Center for American Progress has found that Harvard University won more federal grants in recent years than all the historically-black colleges and universities combined in America. This is just one way in which R&D spending needs to become more fair and equitable.

Support critical infrastructure and products

Having strong infrastructure and products will be important for future prosperity and national security. This means not just physical infrastructure such as highways, trains, bridges, and dams, but digital infrastructure that provides high-speed broadband to all, builds an inclusive economy, and ensures that key digital components such as semiconductors and electronics are safe, secure, and plentiful in the United States. Right now, most of our electronics are made overseas and global supply chains are long and complicated. American businesses cannot always count on ready supplies for their “just-in-time” manufacturing processes. For important goods and services, we need either to on-shore or near-shore production in friendly nations so there are few supply disruptions in case of global pandemics or international conflicts. Recent efforts by the national government to finance and encourage US chip manufacturing is a step in the right direction.

Provide greater flexibility for state and local governments

Localities understand their community needs better than the federal government, and it would be beneficial for there to be greater flexibility in how they use R&D expenditures. With most current funds being controlled either by private businesses who can play cities and towns off against one another or national government leaders who may not understand local needs, states and localities are not well-positioned for future innovation. They don’t control the money that will propel future changes and they aren’t in a position to make sure their priorities are central to allocation decisions. We need to change that so that a greater diversity of R&D needs are met and that community priorities play a greater role in allocation decisions.

Train the next generation of talent

Training the next generation of R&D talent has to be a major priority for governments and businesses. The private sector will need the best talent in order to maintain its competitiveness and government agencies need people with the skills required in a digital economy. This requires money to make sure K-12 schools and higher education have the resources needed to train young talent and governments and businesses to provide adult education for older people who will need to upskill to remain competitive in the future economy. People will have to upgrade their job skills at ages 30, 40, 50, and 60 and there have to be substantial increases in support for adult education and workforce development.

In this blog, we will delve deep into the Pharmeasy unlisted share price, exploring whether it is a good time to invest and understanding the dynamics of the unlisted shares market.

Understanding Unlisted Shares

Bharat Invest offers a reliable platform for buying and selling unlisted shares.

Market Conditions: The broader market conditions, including economic stability, regulatory changes, and competition, affect the Pharmeasy unlisted share price. Favorable market conditions can lead to higher valuations.

Risks Associated with Investing in Pharmeasy Unlisted Shares

While the potential rewards are enticing, investing in Pharmeasy unlisted shares comes with inherent risks:

Liquidity Risk: Unlisted shares are not easily tradable. Finding buyers or sellers can be challenging, leading to liquidity risks.

Valuation Risk: Valuing unlisted shares is complex due to the lack of transparent pricing mechanisms. The valuation can be highly subjective and vary significantly.

Regulatory Risk: Changes in regulations, especially in the healthcare sector, can impact Pharmeasy's operations and, consequently, its share price.

Current Market Trends and Pharmeasy Share Price

As of the latest data, the Pharmeasy share price in the unlisted market has been relatively stable, reflecting investor confidence in the company's long-term prospects. The increasing adoption of digital healthcare services, coupled with Pharmeasy's strong market presence, has kept the share price buoyant.

Is It a Good Time to Invest in Pharmeasy Unlisted Shares?

If you have a high-risk tolerance and a long-term investment horizon, Pharmeasy unlisted shares could be a valuable addition to your portfolio. As always, consult with financial advisors to ensure that your investment decisions align with your financial goals and risk profile.

How to Sell a Locksmith Business: Everything You Need To Know

Selling your locksmith business is a significant milestone that requires planning, preparation, and a clear understanding of the process. Whether you’re retiring, moving on to new ventures, or looking to capitalize on your business’s value, it’s essential to navigate the sale with the right information.

This guide is designed to answer common questions about selling a locksmith business, providing you with the insights you need to make informed decisions and maximize your success.

1. What does it mean to downsize my locksmith business before selling?

Downsizing your locksmith business involves reducing operational complexity, possibly cutting back on overhead costs, and streamlining processes. This can make the business more appealing to buyers by showing that it’s easier to manage, especially if they are new to the industry. You might eliminate underperforming services or sell off unused assets to focus on core offerings, which can increase profitability and make the business more attractive.

2. How should I value my locksmith business?

Valuing a locksmith business involves assessing several key factors:

Revenue and Profitability: Buyers will want to see consistent revenue and solid profit margins over the past few years.

Assets and Inventory: The value of equipment (locksmith tools, service vehicles) and inventory (locks, keys, and parts) should be included in the valuation.

Customer Base and Contracts: A strong customer base, particularly recurring clients and commercial contracts, adds significant value.

Reputation and Goodwill: A well-known, trusted locksmith business with positive reviews can command a higher price due to its established reputation.

It’s often beneficial to work with a business broker or professional appraiser to get an accurate valuation of your locksmith business.

3. How do I prepare my locksmith business for sale?

Preparation is key to making your locksmith business appealing to buyers. Here’s how you can get started:

Organize Financial Documents: Ensure all financial records, including profit and loss statements, tax filings, and accounting reports, are up to date and accurate.

Streamline Operations: Simplify operations by making processes more efficient and ensuring that business functions can easily transition to new ownership.

Review Contracts: Check that all existing contracts with clients, suppliers, and employees are in good standing and transferable to a new owner.

Boost Your Online Presence: Buyers will look at your digital footprint, so make sure your website, social media, and customer reviews reflect the professionalism of your business.

By organizing your business and ensuring smooth operations, you can increase its appeal and market value.

4. Is hiring a business broker necessary when selling my locksmith business?

While not required, hiring a business broker is highly recommended. A broker specializes in:

Valuation: They can help you set the right price based on market trends and your business’s financial health.

Marketing: Brokers have access to a network of potential buyers and know how to market your business confidentially.

Negotiation: They act as intermediaries to negotiate the best deal, ensuring you get fair value.

Confidentiality: A broker can keep the sale discreet, preventing rumors that might affect employee morale or client relationships.

Overall, a business broker can save you time, stress, and ensure you get the best possible outcome from the sale.

5. How long does it take to sell a locksmith business?

Selling a locksmith business can take anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on various factors such as:

Market Demand: If there’s strong demand for locksmith businesses, the sale could go faster.

Business Readiness: Well-prepared businesses with clean financials and efficient operations typically sell more quickly.

Buyer Financing: If a buyer needs a loan, the financing process may add several months to the sale.

By working with a broker and preparing your business in advance, you can help speed up the sale process.

6. What are the legal aspects involved in selling my locksmith business?

Several legal considerations come into play when selling your locksmith business:

Sale Agreement: This contract outlines the terms of the sale, including the purchase price, payment structure, and the transfer of assets.

Transfer of Licenses: Depending on local regulations, you may need to transfer or update business licenses and permits to the new owner.

Non-Compete Clause: Buyers often request that sellers sign a non-compete agreement to prevent you from starting a competing business nearby.

Employee Contracts: Review employment agreements to ensure they are transferable and comply with legal standards for the new owner.

It’s best to work with a lawyer experienced in business sales to ensure that all legal aspects are handled properly.

7. How can I make my locksmith business attractive to potential buyers?

To make your locksmith business stand out, consider these steps:

Show Consistent Profitability: Buyers are more likely to invest in a business that has stable, predictable revenue streams.

Offer Support and Training: Offering to provide training or consultation during the transition period can ease buyer concerns and make your business more attractive.

Highlight Your Unique Selling Points: Showcase what sets your locksmith business apart, whether it's high-quality customer service, innovative technology, or specialized services that competitors don’t offer.

Making your business easier to operate and more profitable can go a long way in attracting serious buyers.

8. What happens after I sell my locksmith business?

Once the sale is complete, there are a few common next steps:

Transition Period: You may be required to help with the transition, offering training and support for the new owner to ensure a smooth handover.

Final Payment: You’ll receive payment based on the agreed-upon terms, either in a lump sum or structured payments.

Retirement or New Ventures: Depending on your goals, you may retire, invest the proceeds in a new business, or pursue other personal projects.

Selling your business can open the door to new opportunities, whether it's financial freedom, personal time, or starting a new chapter.

9. What are the tax implications of selling my locksmith business?

Selling a business has tax implications that vary depending on factors like:

Capital Gains Tax: You may owe taxes on the profit from the sale, depending on your jurisdiction.

Sale Structure: Whether the sale is structured as an asset sale or a stock sale will impact the taxes you owe.

Consult a Tax Professional: It’s essential to consult with a tax advisor to understand the full tax consequences of the sale and to minimize your tax liability.

Proper tax planning can help you retain more of the proceeds from the sale.

Selling your locksmith business can be a complex but rewarding process when handled correctly. By understanding the factors involved—such as business valuation, legal obligations, and the importance of preparation—you can increase the chances of a smooth and profitable sale. Consider working with a business broker or legal advisor to guide you through the process and ensure the best possible outcome.

For more personalized advice or professional assistance, feel free to contact a business broker specializing in locksmith businesses.

"Accelerating Business Growth: Strategies for Sustainable Success"

Introduction:

In today’s fast-paced and competitive market, business growth is not just a goal, but a necessity for survival and success. Whether you're a startup or an established company, navigating the complexities of expansion can be challenging. However, with the right strategies in place, businesses can achieve sustainable growth, build resilience, and remain competitive. This article explores key approaches to fostering business growth while ensuring long-term success.

1. Understanding Business Growth

Before diving into strategies, it's essential to understand what business growth entails. It refers to the process of expanding a company’s revenue, market share, customer base, or operations. Growth can be achieved through different avenues such as increasing sales, entering new markets, or launching new products and services. However, it's important to distinguish between growth for growth’s sake and sustainable growth. The latter focuses on expanding at a manageable pace while maintaining the business’s health, profitability, and reputation.

2. Customer-Centric Approach

One of the cornerstones of business growth is a strong focus on the customer. Companies that prioritize their customers’ needs, preferences, and experiences are more likely to succeed. A customer-centric approach involves understanding the pain points of your target audience and providing solutions that exceed their expectations.

How to implement:

Conduct regular market research to stay updated on customer preferences.

Develop personalized marketing campaigns that resonate with your audience.

Focus on excellent customer service, ensuring that customers feel valued.

Leverage customer feedback to improve products or services continuously.

3. Leveraging Technology

The integration of technology has revolutionized the way businesses operate. From data analytics to customer relationship management (CRM) systems, technology can enhance efficiency, streamline processes, and provide valuable insights for decision-making. Embracing technological innovations can help businesses scale more effectively and stay competitive in a digital-first world.

How to implement:

Invest in automation tools to increase productivity and reduce costs.

Use data analytics to track performance, customer behavior, and industry trends.

Adopt cloud-based systems to facilitate collaboration and flexibility.

Explore artificial intelligence (AI) to improve customer interactions and decision-making processes.

4. Scaling Operations

Growth often requires scaling operations to handle increased demand. Scaling involves expanding production capacity, hiring more staff, or improving infrastructure to support the growing needs of the business. However, scaling must be done thoughtfully to avoid overextending resources and causing inefficiencies.

How to implement:

Start by identifying the areas of your business that need scaling, such as production, supply chain, or customer support.

Ensure your operational infrastructure can handle larger volumes before expanding further.

Train employees to adapt to the increased scale and equip them with the tools they need.

Maintain quality control to ensure that growth does not compromise the value or reliability of your product or service.

5. Diversifying Revenue Streams

Relying on a single source of income can make your business vulnerable to market fluctuations. Diversifying revenue streams not only provides stability but also opens up new opportunities for growth. This can be achieved by introducing new products, services, or entering different markets.

How to implement:

Analyze your current offerings and identify areas where you can expand or diversify.

Explore cross-selling or upselling opportunities to your existing customer base.

Consider strategic partnerships or collaborations to tap into new markets.

Innovate by staying ahead of trends and investing in research and development (R&D).

6. Effective Marketing and Branding

Marketing plays a critical role in driving growth. Without a strong marketing strategy, even the best products may go unnoticed. Companies need to create a robust brand identity and effectively communicate their value proposition to reach new customers and retain existing ones.

How to implement:

Develop a strong brand message that aligns with your target audience.

Use digital marketing strategies such as social media, content marketing, SEO, and email campaigns to reach a wider audience.

Continuously measure and optimize marketing efforts using performance data.

Engage in storytelling to build an emotional connection with your customers, making them loyal advocates for your brand.

7. Investing in Talent and Leadership

The backbone of any successful business is its people. Investing in talent and leadership development can have a significant impact on growth. A skilled, motivated, and innovative workforce can drive performance and help a business achieve its goals.

How to implement:

Create a company culture that fosters innovation, creativity, and collaboration.

Provide training and development programs to help employees grow alongside the business.

Encourage leadership at all levels and promote a culture of accountability and ownership.

Attract and retain top talent by offering competitive compensation and a positive work environment.

8. Financial Management and Planning

Growth requires capital, and effective financial management is key to ensuring that a business can support its expansion plans. Poor financial planning can lead to cash flow issues, excessive debt, or even failure. Business owners need to strike a balance between reinvesting in the business and maintaining profitability.

How to implement:

Create a comprehensive financial plan that includes projections, budgets, and contingency plans.

Monitor cash flow regularly to ensure that the business has enough liquidity to meet its obligations.

Explore funding options such as venture capital, loans, or reinvesting profits to support growth.

Maintain a balance between short-term growth initiatives and long-term sustainability.

9. Building Strategic Partnerships

Partnerships can be a powerful way to accelerate growth. By collaborating with other businesses, companies can leverage shared resources, expand their reach, and gain access to new markets or technologies. Strategic partnerships should be mutually beneficial and aligned with the company’s growth objectives.

How to implement:

Identify potential partners whose offerings complement your business.

Develop a clear partnership strategy that outlines goals, roles, and expectations.

Ensure that the partnership adds value to both parties and strengthens your market position.

Maintain open communication and evaluate the partnership’s performance over time.

10. Measuring Success and Adapting

Finally, the ability to measure success and adapt to changing market conditions is essential for long-term growth. Companies need to set measurable goals and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to track their progress and adjust strategies as needed. Continuous improvement and agility are critical for staying competitive in an evolving business landscape.

How to implement:

Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals for business growth.

Use tools like dashboards and reports to track performance metrics.

Stay flexible and be willing to pivot when market conditions or consumer preferences change.

Regularly review and refine your growth strategy based on data and feedback.

Conclusion:

Business Growth is a multifaceted process that requires careful planning, execution, and adaptability. By focusing on customer needs, leveraging technology, diversifying revenue streams, and investing in talent, companies can achieve sustainable growth. Strategic partnerships, effective financial management, and continuous improvement further contribute to long-term success. As businesses navigate the challenges of expansion, a balanced and thoughtful approach will help them thrive in the competitive marketplace.

Best Franchises in India That Offer Guaranteed Returns per Month: A Guide Based on User Experiences

In India, franchise firms have become very profitable ventures, and many aspirant business owners are searching for options that offer steady returns. A number of franchise models are well-liked by investors in India since they are recognized for providing consistent monthly returns. While no business can offer a 100% "guaranteed" return, several franchises have a history of generating steady, predictable profits because of their well-known brands, robust operations, and proven demand.

Below is a curated list of franchise categories in India that users often discuss for their dependable monthly returns:

1.Food & Beverage Franchises

In India, the food and beverage (F&B) industry is one of the most profitable franchise markets. The varied culinary traditions of India and the rising popularity of quick-service restaurants (QSR) have made numerous food and beverage franchises more well-known due to their consistent monthly income.

Kumbakonam Degree Coffee

Franchisees of Kumbakonam Degree Coffee report good returns due to the popularity of the brand, its unique authentic coffee, and its focus on traditional South Indian coffee culture. The low-cost setup and high demand in tier-2 and tier-3 cities make this a preferred choice for aspiring business owners. Based on user reviews, investors claim they experience consistent monthly returns, especially with well-placed outlets in malls, IT parks, and high-traffic areas.

Domino’s Pizza

One of the top QSR brands in India has been Domino's. Due in major part to the company's effective operating model, franchise owners regularly highlight solid monthly returns. The company is well-known for its rapid expansion and significant brand recognition. The organization offers a wide range of marketing, operational, and supply chain support, which makes it a desirable choice for people wishing to work in the food sector.

Subway

Another well-known restaurant chain is Subway. The sandwich chain's adaptable menu and emphasis on healthy eating have contributed to its enormous rise in popularity. Franchisees frequently mention that Subway locations in busy places, like malls or commercial districts, typically generate steady monthly revenue. On the other hand, other people point out that a Subway franchise's revenue is heavily dependent on its location.

2.Retail Franchises

A perennial favorite, retail franchises benefit from a comparatively stable market, particularly in areas such as groceries, health items, and apparel. Users mention the following retail franchise companies as having consistent monthly returns:

V-Mart Retail

V-Mart is a discount retail chain that has expanded quickly over the past ten years, focusing on middle-class consumers in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Due to its emphasis on reasonably priced apparel, everyday necessities, and other consumer goods, franchise owners of V-Mart businesses assert frequent and constant returns.

Reliance Digital
