8) Outcome
Oriented
This means that the
entrepreneurs are more interested in the final outcome rather that going
through a process. In many ways it is a good thing. That is as long as the
desired result is an honorable thing and that the process has integrity. You
could say it doesn’t matter how you get there as long as you get there but not
good if it has a negative effect on other areas. When they work towards gaining
something, they are totally eyes focused on what they want to achieve or to
keep their goals in sight, being result oriented is a great thing for them to
improve the company business.
In other word, outcome
oriented has the same meaning with goal oriented and result oriented. According
to Wikipedia, goal oriented means "disposition toward developing or
demonstrating ability in achievement situations". Previous research has
examined goal orientation as a motivation variable useful for recruitment, climate and culture, performance appraisal, and selection. Studies have also used goal orientation to
predict sales performance, goal
setting, learning and adaptive behaviors in training, and leadership. Due to the
many theoretical and practical applications of goal orientation, it is
important to understand the construct and how it relates to other variables. In
this entry, goal orientation will be reviewed in terms of its history,
stability, dimensionality, antecedents, its relationship to goal setting and
consequences, its relevance to motivation, and future directions for research.
In other word, result oriented is a term used to describe an individual or
organization that focuses on outcome rather than process used to produce a
product or deliver a service. As
such, a number of processes are used where the most effective and economical
process is identified.
In this outcome oriented, we are going to share Elon Musk
biography, the CEO and CTO of SpaceX CEO, chief product architect of Tesla
Motors, chairman of Solar City, and co-founder of PayPal. Musk is an aggressive
result oriented entrepreneur to reach his goals. Elon Musk is not a money

spaceships.
At the age of 12, Elon Musk has a clear goal and outcome for
what he doing. For instance, he learned programming to program a computer game,
Blastar and earned $500 . Musk is an outcome oriented person since he was young.
In the summer of 1995, Elon Musk made the second and the most important
decision in his life. He pursue his
study at Stanford University applied physics and materials science since he is an
art student. However, after 2 days, he left the school and start Zip2 with his
brother .He worked from early morning until late evening. He lived in the same
warehouse where he rent the office, and when he needed to take a shower he had
to go to locker rooms of a local stadium.
He work hard every
single day to success his internet startup because he found this is an era of
internet revolution. Musk started
to work on electronic payment systems that were gaining popularity, the X.com,
his new startup. In March 2000, X.com merged with a Concinnity then renamed to
PayPal and Elon Musk became the chairman and chief executive of PayPal.
Elon Musk want to
achieve and keep his goals in sight changing the world. After received $180
million for his share from PayPal and had enough funds to pursue his interests.
Elon Musk believes that the world has become dependent on oil. Internal
combustion engines in favor of electric motors instead of oil. Hence Musk start
Tesla.
However, Musk face a
crisis, management failures led the actual selling price of the electric
vehicle was almost twice as high as originally implicit price of $92,000. In
addition, Martin Eberhard made a strategic miscalculation: and the release of
the car had to be postponed for more than a year. Musk is not a process
oriented people, Elon fired all the key players fail the project tesla include Martin,
headed company himself. He cut the cost again by reducing staff, close some
office and demand lower supplier price. As the result, Tesla Roadster saw the
world in 2008 with a minor, less than $20,000.
Elon Musk brought
innovative idea into the 21st century and our life. Elon Musk life
story shows that all his success he achieved thanks to outcome oriented. He has a clear vison, work towards gaining
something, focused on what he want.
