The triadic functionalist structure of the unicist approach to business strategy is based on establishing an adaptive relationship with the environment, which defines the purpose of a business strategy. This is achieved through a maximal strategy that generates growth and a minimum strategy that ensures results and survival that are installed in the business operating system. We recommend including this technology in your business operating system, supported by a supervisor autopilot, to enhance outcomes.
Business Operating Systems
Operating Systems provide the logical mechanics for using the intrinsic functionality of entities and transforming it into extrinsic functionality. By using unicist ontogenetic logic and unicist binary actions, they materialize the use value that guarantees outcomes. This applies to all systems that are adaptive because their functionality is feedback-dependent, such as nature, computers, and any artificial adaptive system.
Operating systems build the bridge between the functionality of adaptive systems and their operation. The development of the unicist ontogenetic logic, which emulates the intelligence of nature, establishes the mechanics of natural operating systems. It enabled the development of the functionalist approach to business, which provides the structure of the operating systems of business functions, managed by supervisor autopilots, to enhance outcomes by up to 30%.
About Business Strategy
The purpose of a business strategy is to achieve preestablished goals, which need to be confirmed as possible, supported by the necessary authoritative role to compete, and aligned with the trends that influence the activity. The binary actions that make the purpose work are installed through the restricted and wide contexts. While the gravitational force provides the authoritative role needed to compete, the catalyst ensures that the latent needs it addresses fit the trends of the environment. These binary actions define how the context influences a strategic process:
UBAa) ensuring an authoritative role
UBAb) ensuring the satisfaction of latent needs (new trends)
This means that the purpose can be achieved when a business has both the necessary authoritative role and the capacity to satisfy latent needs in the environment, going beyond purely operational approaches.
This requires an adaptive approach to the environment that enables the empathy needed to develop resonant actions that influence it. It provides the framework within which maximal and minimum business strategies operate. The maximal strategy aims at growth, while the minimum strategy aims at ensuring survival.
The Maximal Strategy
The purpose of the maximal strategy, which is to generate growth, is to develop a differentiated value proposition. This is installed by the active function based on competitive advantage, while the results of proactive actions are ensured by establishing asymmetric complementation in the environment, where the authority of the organization functions as an influencer.
The binary actions of the maximal strategy are defined by:
UBAa) a recognized competitive advantage
UBAb) a recognized asymmetric complementation
The Minimum Strategy
On the other hand, the purpose of the minimum strategy is defined by the critical mass required to influence the environment. This is achieved by satisfying urgent needs in the environment, while following environmental trends to ensure that the concepts of the value propositions fit the concepts of the environment.
The binary actions of the minimum strategy are defined by:
UBAa) proof of critical mass through the satisfaction of urgent needs
UBAb) compatibility of the solutions with existing trendsTop of FormBottom of Form
The Strategic Approach to Adaptive Business Functions.
All adaptive business functions must be managed with a strategic approach to manage their functionality, dynamics, and evolution. This necessitates the use of ontogenetic maps of their functionalist principles to define the binary actions that enable their operation.
It is important to note that The Unicist Research Institute has researched the ontogenetic maps of the functions that drive businesses as well as social and economic environments. Examples of adaptive business functions include marketing, design, process organization, distribution, people management, customer relationship management, productivity, quality, adaptive automation, and more.
This process is facilitated by the use of unicist functionalist design, developed specifically for managing businesses and their adaptive functions. It combines a strategic approach to the dynamics of business functions and translates it into an operational approach using binary actions and business objects. This allows the development of marketing strategies, productivity strategies, human resources strategies, advertising strategies, distribution strategies, competitive strategies, etc.
Basic Types of Business Strategies
An organization or individual is equilibrated when maximal strategies are being developed while minimum strategies are built to ensure survival. Maximal strategies are designed to expand the boundaries of an individual or organization, while minimum strategies happen within the boundaries of an organization.
1) Surviving Strategies
These are the strategies that aim at ensuring survival within the boundaries of an activity. These strategies are natural for marginal activities developed by people who work at the “border” of their environment.
2) Defensive Strategies
They are based on establishing the necessary operational and control systems to defend the “borders” of their activity. They are power-driven because they need to exert power in order to defend their activity.
3) Dominant Strategies
They are focused on developing the necessary value propositions that can be sustained with their influence. They tend to impose functional monopolies that allow them to establish the standard for their activities in the environment.
4) Influential Strategies
They are based on exerting influence by overcoming the value proposition of their competitors. They are based on having the necessary speed to be “faster” than the competitors, which allows them to win in their environment.
Unicist Strategy: An Emulation of Nature
The discovery of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature opened the possibility of understanding and influencing nature and adaptive systems of any kind.
The emulation of nature, and its consequent unicist logic, were the basis for the development of the Unicist Strategy and its applications to all the fields of human activities that require a strategic approach. Thus, the maximal strategies to expand the boundaries and the minimum strategies to survive were established.
The discovery of unicist logic enabled the management of the functionality, dynamics, and evolution of things and provided a framework for the unified field theory in physics.
The unicist logic allowed transforming supplementation and complementation laws into strategic functions and binary actions that drive the maximal and minimum strategies making evolution reasonable, understandable, and predictable. Therefore, the simplicity of the unicist strategy is based on the emulation of the intelligence that underlies nature.
