Crocadile eggs to corporate?

Crocadile eggs to corporate?

Some time back a doubt was raised on why Crocodiles, Turtles and other related animals lay large number of eggs. Crocodile and Turtle are known to live for several years and have great adaptability as amphibious mode of living. On the contrary, some birds live for very short period, lay 2-3 eggs during breeding season.

It is an interesting question/curiosity indeed. Does this question hold any relevance or significance to corporate as well? Evolution is a finest process in nature. In the process of evolution, the products formed, generally fulfils the time, space and continuum equation. None of products produced in the process of evolution are just to meet the time and the current need. Always it had a larger interest in future requirements as well.

Every action/effort/plan of the corporate must be well thought over and always must see the longer interest.

The point of why crocodiles and turtles lay large number of eggs needs to be understood and defined in the larger scope. The simple answer we can easily offer to the question will be the poor parental care instincts of these animals would have compelled them to lay more eggs to ensure the survival chance of at least a few eggs. It may be a very simple answer but not the complete and final answer. One needs to go beyond to understand the meaning and purpose of the above.

In the process of evolution, every life form has been produced with a purpose. In order to ascertain the purpose, many necessary changes/adaptations have been created with each life form. Whenever a creation is made for a prolonged period of time, will have necessary challenges to tide over. To meet the challenge, animals need to forgo certain traits and embrace certain newer traits. Hence, certain extra precautions / extra investments are required.

When the investment is made for a longer period of time, naturally the lock in period for the given investment is also going to be longer. Huge resource may not be put in for a prolonged lock in period as it would cause resource crunch.

The key lesson to be learned by the corporate is on how to make the key projects successful. It is not simply define, design and execute the project but raise many questions and doubts on its durability, viability, resource utilization & resource rotation, alternatives if any etc. More the number of questions, more the survival ensured for the project like more the eggs laid by the crocodiles and turtles ensure the survival of the species in the biome. The number of questions or validations required by the corporate for the given project before execution largely depends on the percentage stake / the impact the project can on the organization.
