Content: Virtually everything has a finite value from a business perspective: time; money; labour; resources that you can acquire through a combination of the first three. The smaller you are as a business organisation, the more acute these problems of scarcity are, too. Decisions that you make in the early days of your organisation could either snowball into runaway success or fatal errors later down the line. This is where measuring and comparing the opportunity cost associated with different actions becomes crucial. It is all about weighing the pros and cons of each business decision. Before allocating your firm's finite resources – be it money, time or labour – it is essential to spend some time considering the risks and rewards.
