Why do the B C G
findings say that women are the biggest emerging market globally?
Broad reasons for this may be deduced as follows :
A
perceptible change is seen in the vision segment. What is this vision
segment?
TUNNEL
VISION & SCATTERED VISION
Tunnel
is dark but to see light in the tunnel one needs Focus. Women are by
nature bestowed with Tunnel Vision. They can focus on anything much
better compared to men. A very simple example will prove this. When
going to a marriage function or any place where there is a large
crowd, women can exactly pinpoint the jewel another woman was
wearing, the sari color someone was wearing etc. The same thing, a
man cannot recall with perfection. This is because of their Tunnel
Vision capacity. It’s nature’s gift to them because in the good
old days clear demarcation was done in societies, that women will
look after families and children and men will earn for the family. In
order to discharge such duties they needed strong focus.
Men
by nature have the Scattered Vision as they have to find ways and
means for earning. Opportunities are scattered. Multi tasking
competencies are called for to excel in their field of activity.
Therefore it is necessary for men to have a scattered vision and they
are bestowed with the same.
However
both vision types have their own strengths and weaknesses. While
Tunnel Vision ensures safety, carefulness and a sense of looking
thru, it shrinks their concentration to singleness. While Scattered
Vision enhances multi
tasking capability, hard physical work capacity etc, it derails them
as they are not focused on the activity.
VISION
SHIFT
However
in these days women started competing with men in every field of
activity and they excel more than men in many areas. For the past 10
years in any school or university examinations, it’s the women who
score higher marks than men. This is not confined to India but is
seen all over the world. This means that given an opportunity women
can excel even in business. Because they have this Tunnel Vision they
can focus on the nitty-gritty’s of the business. There is a very
clear shift seen in the vision capacities of women from Tunnel to
Scattered Vision. This has to be harnessed for their economic well
being and that of their families.
TRAINING
WOMEN
Since
women-centric strategies are not seen anywhere, the MLM Business
offers excellent opportunities for women. Specific women-centric
strategies are required to be drawn by trainers. Core women groups
must be created and they should be trained thoroughly into the
vagaries of business. They must be empowered to perform and have
enough material to train others as well.
Pune
Conclave
The
previous week Pune Conclave of
Women Empowerment Meeting
is a step in the right direction. I have seen in Europe a similar
splurge of women in all my meetings where ever I went.
Ms. Jane Yau, Ms. Kamsiah in Malaysia, Ms. Ulrike Cintron in Germany, Ms. Zuzana Kormanova, Ms. Zuzana Londinova in Slovakia, Ms. Ester in Austria, Ms. Dagmar in Czech Republic, Ms. Swathi Deokar, Ms. Vandana Shinde, Ms. Savita Deokar, Ms.Sushma Ahir, Ms. Nita Kamble in Pune are some of the examples of lead ladies. There are still many, but for want of space I am limiting with this. But on occasions I will bring others also to light.
