Arts or science - It’s just a business.
While going back on the frame of time to discover the definitions of arts, we may reach pre-historic milestones - when men learnt to draw the graphical symbols. When the need got more and more, men thought deeper to find solutions, from there arose science. Some may argue science exists from the beginning of the universe…this is left to readers to think upon.
Similarly business may go back to the era when commodities were exchanged for daily needs. Business gets involved in everything. Whether it is arts or science doesn’t matter. Business target people who are need of those particular commodities that it aims for. It can be anything. Starting from food, cloth, house to education…from comfort to sports…from gambling to all illegal activities. Business is there everywhere. When the retail market today is mushroomed with all new venture capitalists, it didn’t start something new, just gave a new look to those villagers like Ram dukanwala whose generations were involved with the retail. New café coffee days and Barista’s are the new face of Ram Gumti or Gopal’s chai dukan. The modern business tycoons are a new breed of baisyas(tradesman) of yesteryears.
Spirituality was never a business hundreds of years back and thanks to business gurus who helped spiritual gurus earn fortunes for their organization. Earlier teachers never demanded anything for their lively hood from their fellow students; it’s rather the system of GURU DAKHINA that epitomized GURU-SHISYA parampara. Now education is a big business. One may wonder to find, it needs thousands to educate a 3-4 year old kids. There are many consumers for this business; again they are the business men of some other business. If we look at a ground level this is just another form of business what people did in those early days which involves virtual money.
Today we find a mobile handset with almost every body. It was a commodity for the supper riches a few years back. It was counted as a luxurious good. But today it’s not so. It becomes a part of our blood system. It appears as if we can’t live without it. Here comes science, creating great business opportunities for millions of the people across the globe. Just go back a century and look out those handfuls of scientists who have worked their life to bring communication engineering into a common’s men’s kitty. Similarly all the great business houses today are an end result of a few brilliant innovations by the scientists.
If Marcony could have lived today, he could have become the richest person on the universe for discovering the radio signal and patenting it. In knowledge driven economy, ideas are wealth. It’s not just a new concept. From the early days of human civilization, people knew knowledge is power and today we give it a new dimension. An idea of a PhD student at Stanford heralded a new generation of computer users. In the recent dictionaries you may find the meaning of “googling”. A concept and a mathematical formula of yesterday, that created a billions dollar company and world’s number one (By Forbes for 2007) GOOGLE Inc. It is helping thousands creating their bread and butter out of it. How does the world’s best free search engine do business. They do it by name of FREE stuff - The modern day advertising.
Business itself is an art that most of us know and only few are masters of it. But what ever we do somewhere or the other we come across some business. I think that’s why usually people say – it’s none of your business!
