Collaboration Lesson from Local Eateries
I live in a crowded and one of the oldest areas in Chennai called Aminjikarai, which has commercial areas as well as residential areas. Regularly I use a lane to reach the main road and the lane has few shops which caters to various types of people, some of these shop keepers do close their business due to various reasons and I did witness a shop which was kept closed for some time.
One morning when I was walking towards the main road, I witnessed a new tiffin centre in the lane serving south Indian breakfast, which was not only hygienic it was also looking yummy and there were people who were waiting for their parcels.

On the same day, when I was returning back to home in the evening I saw a chat centre in the same shop which had few youngsters waiting for their turn to eat Pani Puris, I was surprised to see new set of people doing the business which not only gained my attention and I started observing the shops for few days.
Later I understood through my known source that the tiffin centre and chat centre was run by two different people, but they both joined together and requested the building owner to let out the premises in the morning for tiffin centre and evening for chat centre.

They also requested the land owner to install basic kitchen facilities, for which they were willing to pay few extra rupees along with the rent, the building owner agreed and the premises was given for rent.
Imagine if any of the eateries would have rented it fully, they would have paid more rent for a business which is done for limited time and in order to earn extra rupees they would have moved out of their core competency, which is not advisable in certain business.

This collaborative approach not only helped them to save money on a monthly rent, it also helped them from incurring capital expenditure involved in establishing a kitchen.
Such kind of innovative approach not only saves money, it also helps other businesses to learn lessons from such approach.

 When Renault, Nissan & Mitsubishi can collaborate, why not we?

The Modes of Persuasion The modes of persuasion, often referred to as ethical strategies or rhetorical appeals, are devices in rhetoric that classify the speaker's appeal to the audience.
