The world is topsy-turvy!

The world is topsy-turvy!
The jobless rate is 7.2% and
unemployment is now 2.261
million. Many economists now
predict it will go above three
million in 2010.

First, a little history...
Adapted from “The Experience Economy”

Eat what you kill
A hunter-gatherer society is one whose primary
subsistence method involves the direct procurement
of edible plants and animals from the wild, foraging
and hunting without signiﬁcant recourse to the
domestication of either. This was the primary form
of economic subsistence over 2 million years.

Harvest the plenty
An agrarian economy is one where the majority of
people extract natural, fungible commodities from
the ground, store it in bulk, then trade them in
markets. In the 18th century, more than 80% of the
workforce was employed on subsistence farms,
today, about 1% work on farms.

Indenture the servants
Using commodities as raw materials, companies
make and then inventory tangible goods sold largely
to anonymous customers who buy them off the
shelf.The buyers of these standardised goods are
the primarily users and the main factor of demand
are the features. Big Ltd. is born.

Raise the small giants
Service companies deliver intangible, and often
customised activities, on demand.The seller is a
provider and the buyer is a client.The primary
factors of demand are the service’s beneﬁts.
SMEs sprout everywhere.

Experience the
one-man bands
Working in tandem with the “experience
economy”, micro-businesses stage memorable
experiences that are personal, offered for a
duration, to “guests.” The primary factor of demand
are the sensations created by the experience.
