購買力と大企業 Purchasing Power and Large Corporations




こんにちは。高圧ガス設備の検査を主にする会社を経営しております、安居社長です。
僕も使っているおすすめのマウス!
物価があがっていて本当に苦しい時代となりました。
このままでは、、、という会社も多いのではないでしょうか。
どうにか立て直したいと思っていても、仕入れが上がり商品の値段が上げられないとすれば、立て直すのはかなり厳しい時代となりますね。
色々と話をしていると、大きな会社への仕事は価格に厳しい。
「上申が〇〇円で必要で。。。」とか組織的な外部からの圧力に対する制約もあるし購買力の強さもある。そのように感じています。

購買力というのは、安く買う力のようなものと考えてください。
大きな会社と取引したがる会社は多い、取引数も多いですから、お願いできる同業他社も多く存在していることでしょう。
引き合いを出したり、交渉のカードをたくさん持っていますから、とにかく安く買える確率が高いのです。

そしてさらに強気です。
大手ほど、横一線にする傾向が強いようです。
他はいくらでやっている、など同業と一線に並べられてしまうことが多いです。

大手と付き合う同業はそのレベルも高い。
その中で切磋琢磨していくとしたら、人的リソースの少ない小さな会社ほど厳しい戦いを強いられることになります。

大きな会社ほど、大きな仕事になるので、人の手配や道具の段取りも自然とボリュームが大きくなります。

どうしたものか、、、と頭を悩ませることが多くなりました。
大手と付き合うには現状かなり厳しいのと少し余裕がほしい、最近はそんなことを思っています。

ここまでお読みいただきありがとうございました!
ではまた!

Hello, this is President Yasui, owner of a company specializing in the inspection of high-pressure gas facilities.

Here's a mouse that I personally use and recommend:

Prices have risen so much that it has become a genuinely difficult time for many businesses.

I imagine there are quite a few companies thinking, "If things continue like this..."

Even if a company wants to turn things around, it becomes extremely difficult when procurement costs continue to rise while selling prices cannot be increased accordingly.

From my conversations with various people, I've come to feel that working with large corporations often means dealing with very strict pricing requirements.

You'll hear things like, "We need approval for anything over a certain amount," reflecting organizational constraints and pressures from within the company. At the same time, large corporations possess tremendous purchasing power.

By purchasing power, I mean the ability to buy goods and services at lower prices.

Many companies want to do business with large corporations, and large corporations naturally have a high volume of transactions. As a result, they often have many alternative suppliers and contractors available to them.

They can request multiple quotations and hold numerous negotiation cards in their hands. This gives them a high probability of obtaining lower prices.

On top of that, they tend to negotiate from a position of strength.

The larger the company, the more likely they are to compare suppliers on a level playing field.

It's common to hear comments such as, "Another company is doing it for this price," placing you directly alongside your competitors.

The companies that work with major corporations are often highly capable as well.

Competing in that environment can be particularly challenging for smaller businesses with limited human resources.

Large corporations also tend to generate large-scale projects, which means larger requirements for staffing, equipment, and logistical preparation.

Lately, I've found myself thinking about these issues more and more.

At present, maintaining relationships with major corporations can be quite demanding, and to be honest, I feel that having a little more breathing room would be beneficial.

Thank you very much for reading to the end.

See you next time!
