OUTCOME ORIENTED(Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong)






     Outcome oriented means whats matter is the result whether you win or lose to accomplish a specific target is presumably contrasted with something like a process orientation, where the emphasis is on the way you perform.
     The succesful entrepreneurship that has this trait is Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong that known as a Genting Highland owner. He is highly outcome-oriented even being said as an insane man by the people when he told them he want to building a hilltop resort in Genting Highland. Upon came out with this idea, numerous people were doubtful of Lim turning a wilderness into a tourist resort, but Lim forgot about all these negativity and proceed with his plan without care about the result. After doing some research, he formed an expedition and explored the place. During the Genting project, Lim spent all he had without earning any income. He sold an 810-hectare rubber estate to get RM2.5 million. In addition, he invested all the money he had made from iron mining, sub-contracting and hardware businesses. The project was a overhelming on Lim's finances. He does not care to invest his money in a large scale because his target only wants to get the benefits from his plan. When being asked to invest in this project, Lim's friends turned him down and counselled him to drop the entire scheme instead.

     In the next 30 years, Lim continued to develop and expand Genting Highlands beyond its original idea of a hotel with basic tourist facilities. As now, Genting Highlands is one of the most successful casino resorts in the world and one of the primary tourist attractions in Malaysia. Genting Group has diversified into many other industries such as plantations, property, paper, power generation, oil and gas exploration and cruise boat industries.
