Enabling or Creating Barriers Already few years ago, I skimmed through the companies that perform best. In some cases, I had really mixed feelings; what should I think about extremely well performing company, which collects its income through sales to public sector? Looking at the economic growth in Finland, it appears that major part of the growth happens in branches that are either subsidized, based on public investments or purchases, or regulated. I have been wondering how this affects the functioning of overall economy. One can spend hours and hours on bureaucracy and on applying public funding that is communicated to be almost self-evident. Would one participate the applying process, if it wasn't suggested or almost ​required to do so? And for what? So that public sector gets to tell how one should run one’s business? To get the same advice than others who are in the funding process? Does the approach facilitate business model innovation and the usage of new marketing and sales channels? ​ Johanna Sandman Published: 5.10.2016 9:10
