If you’re running multiple businesses within a single business entity or a business that generates sales by connecting with different businesses, I recommend managing the accounting for each separately. For example, if a car rental company also engages in car leasing, try to maintain distinct accounts for the rental and leasing sectors. This approach increases the chances of uncovering hidden costs or mistakes in resource allocation. In business, specific attributes necessitate this separation, leading to independent costs and improved profit structures. Neglecting this reality can result in bankruptcy without fully understanding the reasons behind it. The foundation of success is to avoid failure. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Design ethics is an essential field of study. You may wonder if ethics play a role in design, but they are crucial, particularly in terms of addiction. Slot machines, for example, are four times more addictive than other gambling games. This heightened addiction is mainly due to the variable rewards these games provide. Some designers view this addiction as a means to increase profits. A classic example is a screen with an infinite scroll function, which can lead to excessive time consumption. This occurs because the game’s rewards are unpredictable, and some designers tie this addiction directly to revenue generation. Therefore, ethical considerations are vital across all domains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
