Of course, there's no such word as goodest. It's just a hilarious way of saying best, while being annoying and original!
There was a program where there's this "successful" business person advising a newbie in the F&B industry.
Why did I put successful in inverted commas? Well, from the surface, it looks like this person is successful based on the number of outlets of the business. But without looking at the accounts, you can't tell if it's profitable.
One sentence this person said caught my attention. That is "Product is KING!"
Whenever I hear comments like this, my debate mode turns green immediately. Especially when this person said it with such conviction. It's thought provoking. Is this true? If so, is it true for every business or industry? Are there any business examples to prove it? If not, where is it applicable? Is this totally wrong?
The first company that immediately comes to my mind is Apple. Everyone agrees that Apple invented some of the most useful and innovative products available. That's why they are so successful. And there's Samsung, Rolls Royce and Bugatti, some of the companies with great products.
What about MacDonald? Everyone knows that MacDonald does not serve the best and tastiest burgers. Yet they are so successful. If product is king, then why is MacDonald able to sell an average burger and is still successful? Is the product something else other than the burger?
On the other hand, why some shops selling better burgers cannot survive? Does this mean that product is not king? And what about businesses (think departmental stores, DIY shops) with no products of their own?
So is product the king? Time to do some serious thinking.
