FALSAFAH PERNIAGAAN - SOALJAWAB MENGENAI PENGURUSAN KEWANGAN - BERSAMA NIK ZAFRI

Salam Tuan Nik,

Soalan berkaitan dengan falsafah perniagaan. Saya pernah jumpa satu teori atau method dalam pengurusan perniagaan yang menyatakan bahawa "pengurusan perniagaan itu adalah pengurusan RM (ringgit malaysia) dan MASA (time). keberuntungan perniagaan itu bergantung kepada kecekapan usahawan itu mengurus RM dan MASA secara berkesan"

Saya ingin mendapat pandangan Tuan Nik terhadap pernyataan di atas.

Jika boleh, Tuan Nik tolong berikan panduan bagaimanakah yang dikatakan mengurus RM dan MASA yang berkesan.

Ini kerana seringkali kita dapati ada usahawan yang mengalami masalah kekurangan modal kerja dalam menjalankan perniagaannya. Malah ada juga usahawan yang gagal memenuhi pesanan pelanggan dalam tempoh ditetapkan.

Diharapkan Tuan Nik dapat memberi panduan bagaimana nak mula mengurus RM dan MASA ini, aspek kawalan yang boleh diamalkan serta bagaimana nak mengukur keberkesanan pengurusan RM dan MASA yang telah dijalankan.

Jawapan

Salam saudara

Sebenarnya saudara merujuk kepada Time Value of Money.

Ianya bukanlah satu falsafah perniagaan tetapi suatu disiplin yang agak piawai terutamanya pada perniagaan yang melibatkan kewangan/perbankan - namun boleh juga digunakan (di mana berkenaan) pada mana-mana bentuk perniagaan sekalipun.

Kalau nak bercakap pasal ni..aduh..panjang ler...lagipun saya lebih mudah memahami dan menerangkan dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Antara lain sila rujuk artikel dari Wiki

Ini adalah formula yang hampir sama saya gunakan. Maaflah, bukan tak nak jawab - tapi sukar nak 'translate'.

Sebenarnya topik ini sangat kompleks lebih-lebih lagi apabila kita mengaitkannya dengan pengurusan masa. Topik pengurusan masa ini bergantung kepada persekitaran kita umpamanya (sekadar menyebut beberapa contoh) Semasa bekerja dan selepas persaraan, Pengurusan Projek Pengurusan Perniagaan dll. Ianya juga bergantung di atas suasana ekonomi semasa.

Berikut adalah sebab-sebab antara kenapa perancangan wang kita gagal (terutamanya di Malaysia) tidak kira samada entiti itu sebuah syarikat atau sebuah keluarga atau individu

Kita kadangkala tidak merancang perbelanjaan dengan betul dan akhirnya kita sering bertanya "Ke mana perginya wang yang kita ada?" kerana rasa sepertinya 'wang itu seperti air mengalir' sentiasa kehabisan. :

1) Keutamaan perbelanjaan - apakah perbelanjaan yang biasa dilakukan - apakah sasaran jangkapanjang dan jangkapendek - sentiasa menyemak perbelanjaan dan tidak berbelanja atas barangan/perkara yang tidak diperlukan.

2) Tiada simpanan atau rizab - kalau nak dikira setiap entiti perlu ada sekurang-kurangnya 30-50% daripada pendapatan/keuntungan tahunan (bergantung kepada kes)

Caranya ialah mempunyai tabiat yang baik dalam perbelanjaan. Ini akan membantu kos kontigensi atau semasa kita kecemasan. Margin simpanan ini penting kerana ianya akan memberikan rasa selamat dan jiwa yang tenang.

3) Terlalu banyak hutang - walaupun kredit diakui dapat membantu kita semasa kecemasan (bergantung kepada cara kita menggunakannya) tetapi kredit juga boleh menjatuhkan seseorang atau sebuah organisasi menjadi terikat kepada pembayaran yang tinggi walaupun secara berperingkat. Jika terlepas satu atau dua bayaran, kemungkinan boleh membawa kepada kemuflisan.

4) Bonus, pulangan dsb. - jika mendapat pulangan cukai, atau mendapat bonus atau kenaikan gaji atau mungkin mewarisi harta, kebanyakan dari kita atau syarikat suka membelanjakan wang secara mewah dan akhirnya duit sebanyak mana pun boleh kehabisan.

5) Tiada perancangan 'overhead' - ini juga antara sebab terbesar apabila mengabaikan

a) pembayaran 'installment' tidak kira apa juga aset - tambahan pula kos penyelenggaraan untuk aset-aset ini juga tidak diambilkira, (jika kos penyelenggaraan diabaikan, besar kemungkinan aset kita akan cepat rosak dan akhirnya kos pembaikan malah susutnilai juga sangat tinggi - di sinilah kita akan mengalami kerugian), selain itu - pembayaran bil air, elektrik dll juga perlu diambilkira.

Saya pernah melihat beberapa organisasi yang sengaja melambat-lambatkan pembayaran gaji atau 'progress payment' samada untuk 'rolling' dahulu (ini kira ok la gak) atau lebih teruk, ambil dulu - tutup 'lubang lain'.

Ini juga berkaitan dengan penstrukturan kredit (Debt Restructuring)- bukan sahaja organisasi malah individu.

6) 'Nett & Gross' - kadangkala kita tidak terfikir bahawa 'bersih' dan 'kasar' adalah berbeza. Kita sering terfikir yang besar (gross) dan akhirnya kita hanya mendapat tersangat kurang dari nilai yang kita harap-harapkan.

Walaupun kita bukan akauntan sekalipun, kita perlu juga tahu asas perakaunan.

Jika kita bakal mendapat wang bayaran dsb., kira dahulu apa yang perlu dibayar (payable) - contohnya hutang/kredit/installment dsb., malah saya sendiri pun mengira caj bank ke atas contohnya cek outstation, pemindahan wang menggunakan sistem perbankan talian atau ATM, dll., kadar faedah pinjaman atau gadaian dsb. (mortgage & leasing), liabiliti dll., gaji pekerja/kakitangan dll.

Inilah yang bahayanya - kita rasa kita akan dapat RM1 juta, tetapi sebenarnya selepas ditolak, sebenarnya bahagian kita hanyalah RM500,000.00

7) Sikap tidak sabar menanti - perkara ini berlaku kerana terpengaruh dengan rakan-rakan, organisasi yang bersaing dengan kita, iklan media dll.
