Business Models for Collective Governance

 This piece of work desires to raise our spirit for facing the national development challenge in a grand manner. Clearly, our generation failed to deliver the prosperity all of us are supposed to be already enjoying today. Sad to say, we are unaware that the representative democracy is still enslaving us. As long as we  send the same breed of officials to positions of power, authority, and accountability; as long as we maintain a bloated and  inefficient bureaucracy; while  our country’s  educational system is inadequate in molding visionary and patriotic leaders we need;  and as our government continues in using the same business models that are  sheer symbols  of failed strategies; it is so conclusive that even the most beautiful constitution and the most efficient form of government are nothing. The destiny of our country remains uncertain if we retain the same officials elected by the same electorates. Our obligation is not to pass this misfortune to the next generation without a valiant stand.

Where are self-respect and intellectual courage if we just let our time to lapse without embracing our accountability sincerely?  What if we realize that by putting our professional qualifications, experiences, and connections together, we are much bigger and powerful and we can leave behind our culture of smallness? What if we discover that we have working tools in the form of business models that can be injected into the existing system? What if we learn that we have the easy access to the funds that are needed in rebuilding our country?  What if we confirm that we have also the access to the best technologies?  What if we discern that the collective governance model is the best platform for assimilating the new business models into the national system because we are united?  What if at this time we find out that we have already sufficient preparation? Collectively, we can! However, to be united, we need humility and resolve to be relevant to our patriotic obligations. 

The collective governance model is an ancient craft practiced by our ancestors long before the invention of the written constitution and the popular forms of government. The collective governance activates action-oriented solutions through multi-stakeholder and harmonious collaborations. It is also a system that does not usurp the role of the government. On the other hand, the business models formulate high-impact infrastructure and systems that certainly we never thought we could build. However, if we act as one, there is no doubt that our collective governance capacities are adequate to achieve success.  Once we are able to manufacture equal opportunities particularly for those who can best think and best work, we are prepared to assume that vital parts of the national responsibilities be placed on our collective shoulders. Eventually, we transform ourselves into collective leaders and participants in the reset of our national economy and in rebuilding our country. 

  

 

Thus, this book has a special mission. It guides in building the structures and in installing the orders for the collective governance platform. This book demonstrates the contents and the structures of the business models that serve as the building blocks of inclusive development enterprises. After introducing the application of business models (Chapter 1), the funding models are presented first (Chapter 2-6). The book ends with the integration of the business models into inclusive development enterprises (Chapter 33-36). The building and maintaining of the development infrastructure (Chapter 7-13), the integrated approach to the development of industries (Chapter 14-21), the cooperatives for economic development (Chapter 22-26), and the technical training and education solutions (Chapter 27-32) together are the pillars of multi-dimensional inclusive development agenda. Finally, the inclusive business models are continuously tested and verified by the science-based grand experiment for national development planning and management (Chapter 37); which transitions into the craft of collective governance (Chapter 38).
