The economic explanation for the failed last stand of drug lords

No matter how hard old Arnold worked, no matter how hard he showed, it was not easy for the weak to defeat the strong. In fact, the third generation of the poisonous who tried to run away against the powerful US government was a last-ditch battle. In this type of film, no matter how arrogant this frivolous drug lord was for most of the film's duration, he eventually had to be embarrassed and imprisoned. Since the battle of the backwater is to create a hypothetical tension for the audience, it is a good idea to make a joke. From the business model, let's see where the wedge of the third-generation poisonous third-generation escape from the backwater failed.

The so-called business model, that is, the transaction structure of stakeholders, has internal and external differences. From the carjacking to the construction of the pontoon bridge in the U.S.-Mexico border valley, the group of people who spared no effort to do so is naturally an internal stakeholder. Regardless of whether it is a shareholding, franchising or joint venture, they all benefit directly from the drug lord's chain of interests. Because the products of this commercial operation are prohibited, the PR department is very lacking, the corporate boundaries of the drug gangs are very narrow, and the external stakeholders have not been well systematically cultivated and created. The only external stakeholder explicitly shown in the film seems to be the only female FBI agent with a modest rank. At the last moment of his escape, the drug lord realizes that this humble town sheriff controls the fate of his escape. At this time, it was too late to try to acquire it. The trouble was so big that the sheriff's caring subordinates had already been killed by the drug lord's subordinates.

The system of the business model consists of several elements, such as positioning, business system, cash flow structure, and profit method. In the business model after the drug lord escaped from prison, the positioning is clear, that is, to flee to Mexico; the cash flow is also abundant, regardless of whether it is prepaid or prepaid, in short, it is very efficient; although the profit method is single, it is completely dependent on internal interests Participants create, but this is also determined by industry characteristics. Where is the crux of the failure of the drug lord's last stand, or ignore the key resource capabilities, that is, the foundation to support the operation of this business model is not solid.
The drug lord should take the Somali pirates' efforts in cultivating external stakeholders, study hard and ask for advice, if there is a chance to escape again. To put it simply, since we have decided to run from this desolate town with few populations, why not prepare locally in advance? You must know that the seaside fishing villages that supply pirate ships all year round receive a fixed return from the pirates plus a commission for going out to sea. of. I feel that the old man's land in the small town is suitable for a temporary base. If you buy or rent it, you will directly jump the old man, but it will bring the benefits of maximizing your own focus. However, this has also created a fundamental difference with the interests of small town residents, and has set up insurmountable and difficult to materialize psychological barriers to attracting them as external stakeholders to participate in the construction of the business model. The townspeople are a key resource in this business model.
From this wedge, the fate of the drug lord's failure to escape is doomed.
