[Column] Why are small and medium-sized enterprises' organizations fragmented?

I would like to introduce a column article.

This is because there is no recognition that "companies are living entities." Being disjointed means not being unified. The basic flow in organizational management is (1) purpose (2) goals (3) policies (4) organization (5) plans (6) roles (7) schedules (8) implementation (9) results (10) distribution. When replaced with management measures, this becomes management philosophy, vision, management policy, and management. Recently, small and medium-sized enterprises have been creating philosophies, drafting management plans, revising wage systems, and introducing management systems, yet they still remain disjointed. This is because each management measure is constructed on a whim, resulting in a patchwork state full of mismatches. For example, there is no correlation between the content of the plan and the content of the personnel evaluation, making it ineffective despite the time and effort invested. "Rules and standards mean crossing when the light is green and stopping when it is red," and it is because these are followed that the traffic society functions. Small and medium-sized enterprises become disjointed because they either do not have established rules and standards for running the company, or if they do exist, only a few people know them, or even if they know them, they do not adhere to them.
