Le discours méritocratique et entrepreneurial apparaît bien souvent comme une façon commode pour les gagnants du système économique actuel de justifier n’importe quel niveau d’inégalité, sans même avoir à les examiner, et de stigmatiser les perdants pour leur manque de mérite, de vertu et de diligence. Cette culpabilisation des plus pauvres n’existait pas, ou tout du moins pas avec la même ampleur, dans les régimes inégalitaires précédents, qui insistaient davantage sur la complémentarité fonctionnelle entre les différents groupes sociaux.
Capital Et Idéologie
Thomas Piketty
Once you have established what constitutes your environment, you need to examine it in two time frames—now, and sometime in the future, let’s say in a year. The questions then become: What do my customers want from me now? Am I satisfying them? What will they expect from me one year from now? You need to focus on the difference between what your environment demands from you now and what you expect it to demand from you a year from now. Such a difference analysis is crucial, because if your current activities satisfy the current demands placed on your business, anything more and new should be undertaken to match this difference. How you react to this difference is in fact the key outcome of the planning process.
