Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship entails having new ideas for a business in the interest of working for oneself.
Therefore, this paper shall determine the information needed in setting up a new enterprise. Each
Task One
Opportunity Focus
Entrepreneurs should move on with their business strategies based on the prospects they've
recognized at this point in their development. There is a chance that the business could expand in
the future if focus is maintained now. Regardless, figuring out the idea's genesis is critical.
Outside perspectives are vital because different people can see the same opportunity in a
different light and come up with wildly different results (Galindo et al., 2019). It also involves
narrowing down the entrepreneur's opportunity to select what would be the best business idea
and how it could be implemented, leading to the third stage of the entrepreneurship cycle.
The business is currently a market leader at cruising altitude. The company's growth is made to
seem organic and natural thanks to professional management tactics. Some examples of this are
mergers, acquisitions, and expansion initiatives, among others. The primary objective is to
expand the company's market share (Wei, Liu & Sha, 2019). As cash is available and
inefficiencies have been completely extracted from the firm, a competent management team
executes the venture's worldwide expansion, acquisition, and merger strategy. The
implementation of competent management that assures the achievement of goals and the

efficiency and effectiveness of job completion is one technique to ensure continual development
Resource Commitment
For the majority of small business owners, making a commitment means either incorporating
their business or quitting their job. However, the process of developing a firm strategy begins
here (Galindo et al., 2019). The process of screening an opportunity, performing research, and
writing a business plan are all distinct. Writing an effective business strategy necessitates
knowledge and commitment. Therefore, this level of commitment is only possible if the
entrepreneur has the necessary resources and is prepared to invest them. An enormous amount of
effort and time will be required if one is to succeed in this stage's completion. There are many
factors to consider, including whether or whether the entrepreneur is willing to put money into
Markey Entry
To begin with, the entrepreneur only had a little amount of overhead when the business plan was
put into action. When it comes to the early stages, this is what counts. Profitable companies,
those that have met fair goals, and are on track for economic health might choose to take money
from investors or remain small and self-funded (Wei, Liu & Sha, 2019). The goal is to figure out
what the product's first impression should be in the market. When it comes to market entry plans,
this stage would include determining which options are most appropriate for the organization.
Recognition of Opportunity
when the opportunity was discovered, the time frame could range from a month to ten years
(Galindo et al., 2019). There are a variety of things that come into play during this stage of the
4
process, including personal encounters, observations, and experiences. At this stage, the only
way to know if an opportunity is appealing is to conduct thorough research and gain a thorough
understanding of the concept behind it. People must decide for themselves whether or not they
are capable of starting their own company. People, including most innovators, tend to stay here
for the rest of their lives and never consider beginning a firm.
The entrepreneur must choose a high-growth strategy at this time. When the entrepreneur weighs
all of these possibilities, such as the resources, and implements all of the essential steps for a
business commitment, such as needed licenses, the firm may be launched (Galindo et al., 2019).
The entrepreneur chooses to continue expanding the company once it has launched. Their
methods of production and management aren't scalable because of a shortage of market space, or
they won't expand because the expansion rate is too huge a challenge for management; they don't
Liquidity
Sell the company's assets to make money at this point. It's typical for companies to go public or
be acquired by another publicly listed firm (Wei, Liu & Sha, 2019). Several studies have
concentrated on the early stages of starting and operating a small business. Less attention has
been paid to exits. The ability to exit a firm successfully is critical for both the entrepreneur and
There are several tax incentives put in place by state governments around the country aimed at
Research from the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership found that some states are
trying to reduce the total tax burden by lowering taxes or increasing exemptions to stimulate
entrepreneurial activity" (Darnihamedani et al., 2018). The tax policies of around 10 states are
more active and include incentives like as tax credits focused at the location of the company,
R&D, and capital requirements Several jurisdictions, including the United States, China, Saudi
Arabia, Singapore, and others, have reduced or abolished taxes on capital gains and inheritances
In terms of the labor market and the regulations of business, entrepreneurs encounter a number of
difficulties. Regulations in the United States are significantly laxer than those in Europe, by
European standards. Some nations in Europe restrict the number of hours or the time of day that
a company may be open, for instance (Darnihamedani et al., 2018). The legal limit on the
number of hours a person may work in a week is 35. Europe's businesses have less alternatives
when it comes to recruiting and firing people than their American counterparts in the United
States and Canada. This has a negative impact on the company's ability to be flexible throughout
Singapore
Singapore beat the average economy in five of the six categories of government programs. There
is a widespread consensus in the local business community that government initiatives are
appropriate and helpful in supporting new and developing businesses. New businesses may also
Singapore's early-stage entrepreneurial activity (TEA) accounted for 11.6 percent of the
country's total in 2012. (Chernyshenko, Uy & Jiang, 2020). By comparison, Singapore scored

second in the study of 25 nations, with a 6.6% increase in 2011. Singapore's economy has grown
gradually since the crisis of 2009, which may have given Singaporeans more confidence to
establish their own firms (Chernyshenko, Uy & Jiang, 2020). Showing that a rise in the number

owners also increases the country's purchasing power, which is good for the economy (Slattery

Task 2
Entrepreneurs may be classified in a multitude of ways depending on the person's point of view.
In this article, we'll cover the two most common categorization systems. They are as follows:
These options are available to entrepreneurs, depending on the sort of company they want to
start:

An entrepreneur is a person who comes up with an idea for a new product or service, and then
starts a company to bring it to market. In order to produce a promising business prospect, they

New technology is vital for a company's long-term success if it wants to prosper in the future.
Consequently, entrepreneurs may be divided into the following groups according on how they
employ technology:
their meticulous attention to detail, they produce things of higher quality. It's common for them
to focus more on manufacturing than marketing. They display their ability to think beyond the
box when it comes to making and providing products and services. Diverse manufacturing
The following are essential characteristics that entrepreneurs have that distinguish them
from managers:
1. Function

An entrepreneur is someone who sees an opportunity and seizes it by turning it into a company.
Because they own a firm, they take up all the financial and other risks. If you're an employee,
though, you'll be paid a wage. As a result, there are no dangers for them to worry about.
(Topper,2022)
Profit is the incentive for taking risks, but a manager's compensation is the reward for labor for
entrepreneurs. The entrepreneur is a risk-taker by nature. For the firm to grow, they must take
risks that are well-judged. When it comes to risk, a manager is more cautious. Maintaining the
status quo is their primary objective. As a result, they are unable to take chances. (Thakur, 2022).
3. Ambition
However, entrepreneurs have a very ambitious mindset and are always looking for or considering
ways to push their firm to the next level; in contrast, managers believe in meeting their
Task 3
The first important consideration is whether or not the company concept is feasible. This might
involve developing scheduling software that could be valuable to businesses in the healthcare
sector. In addition, the plan's feasibility would depend on whether or not a working software
could be developed for mobile phones, making it easier for customers to use. The construction of
the scheduling system will incur charges in the creation of the programme by professionals in
information technology. Therefore, there will be prices for the services, but these fees will be
recouped by the monthly membership fees that will be charged to the customers.

It's possible that a social media app that enables people to debate political and historical issues in
an open forum is a viable business concept. History students, political parties, governments, etc.
would all profit from the application in this scenario. Creating an effective social media
application is also essential to the idea's success. In contrast to other enterprises that need a
steady supply of raw materials for manufacturing, the building of the social media application
The Drucker 7 sources of creativity include Process Needs, which is pertinent in this situation
(Buta, 2019). Innovation that seeks to enhance a process in the hope that a better method exists is
known as "process needs." As a result of this, the social networking app and scheduling software
are claiming that the process has been streamlined. The social media platform claims that there is
a better method to disseminate knowledge about politics and governance to a huge number of
people. Scheduling software also makes it easier to set up appointments, gather patient data, send
out reminders, and keep track of calendar events. As a side benefit of process improvement,
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Whether an invention is adopted by its target audience is
directly influenced by attitudes and expectations of prospective adopters (Grani & Maranguni,
2019). Consumer perception and experience, such as ease of use, understanding the innovation,
and potential utility, are the main emphasis of TAM. (Grani & Maranguni, 2019). Adopter
productivity increases as a direct result of adopter convenience (Grani & Maranguni, 2019),
hence this is a critical consideration when trying to assess the value of new innovations. Data
collected by Davis showed a stronger link between user perceptions and the uptake of new
10
technologies. A person will not accept a technology that they do not feel is beneficial in
So, since a political and historical social media application and a scheduling tool are both in
technology, the Technology Acceptance Model must be used. In this situation, the inventions
would be seen as beneficial to customers or end-users. If the social media app is used correctly, it
may help users better comprehend the present social and political situation by providing them
with relevant historical and political information. Customers may utilize the scheduling system
to make online appointments with doctors without having to go to the medical facility, which
would free up staff time for other activities such as dealing with patient visits. However, in order
to be used on a regular basis, both programs must be simple to use and understand.
The implementation of a healthcare scheduling system was chosen as the business concept for
this report. The premise is that the notion would be profitable, and the buyers would include
hospitals, clinics, physicians, nurses, dentists, and other healthcare providers. These buyers
would also benefit from the product from a commercial standpoint, since it would increase the
information would be better as a result of the new system's features. Their firms could then
delegate the handling of appointment booking and cancellation to the system, freeing up staff
time for other tasks. Patients would also be allowed to choose the doctor or nurse they want to
see. As a result, the system's developers would reap the benefits of higher sales and
subscriptions.
As a result, the technology must be simple to use and navigate so that customers will want to
participate in the program . To make things easier for customers, procedures like billings and
11
searches, as well as cancellations and refunds, need to be simple and plain to understand using
clear, readable terms and symbols. During the creation phase, these features would have to be
incorporated.
Task 4
Executive Summary
The executive summary is the initial component of a company plan. This section provides an
overview of the company's strategy, as well as a short summary of each subsection. The
optimum time to write an executive summary is towards the conclusion of a project or company
concept (Tanev, Rasmussen & Hansen, 2020). It is essential that the executive summary reflect
the organization's mission statement, as well as the products and services it intends to or
currently provides. As a result, a thorough explanation of the company's goals, financial and
Owners' personal assets will be safeguarded by forming Schedule Help, Inc. as a limited liability
corporation. Schedule Help is software that may be purchased by healthcare practitioners who
want to make scheduling appointments, managing patient information, and communicating with
patients easier. As a result, they will be more productive. As a consequence, the product was

products, services, and industry. As a result, it's essential to bring up the issue of determining if a

company should be registered. T. Rasmussen et al. (2020); Make a point of mentioning the
company's industry expertise and what sets it apart from the competition in the description.
Schedule Help's goal is to provide the greatest possible scheduling experience for patients. ' The
Schedule Help application, which will be installed on the patient's phone while the system is
housed at the healthcare institution, is the company's relevant product. A patient's health state
and schedule are included in the services provided, as well as a list of healthcare professionals.
Market Analysis
The target and segmentation important to the company are narrowed down by the market study.
Consequently, this phase will focus on locating the optimum place to distribute the items or
services (Alonso-Vazquez et al., 2018). In addition, the part addressed the wants and
requirements of the intended audience, which provided insight into how the goods and services
Schedule Efforts are required within the industry to make medical appointment scheduling easier
for customers. As a result, patients will find it easier to locate the healthcare practitioner they
need. Health care professionals would also have easier access to patients' information in the
system context before a checkup. As a result, they are enhancing their market activities.
Organizational Management
company's senior executives and their present duties will be provided (Alonso-Vazquez et al.,
2018). The company's organisational structure will be determined in this part as well. The legal
Schedule There will be a functional organisational structure in which each department will
perform a specified role. Human resources, finance, communication, product, and design are
13
among the divisions that fall under this umbrella. Each of these departments will be overseen by
a manager with a specialized role. It is up to human resources and finance to recruit and manage
the workforce, while accounting and other financial matters are handled by the latter. In addition,
the company's communication staff will be responsible for handling client contacts.
Furthermore, the product and design department shall take care of updates, research, and
development. These department heads would have to answer to the supervising manager, who
answers to the deputy manager, and the Chief executive officer sits at the top. Therefore, the
Sales Strategies
Sales strategies refer to the activities that are taken in terms of the sales and placement of items
in order to attract new customers. As a result, these tactics help to guarantee that sales of these
items meet the company's goals, which is the job of the sales staff (Alonso-Vazquez et al., 2018).
As a result, under this part, the firm must choose a pricing strategy, such as value-based price
Schedule If the organisation applies value pricing, customers will pay what they think the
product is worth depending on how much they think it's worth. Healthcare professionals and
patients would benefit much from the software in this situation; thus, the monthly cost will be
$2,000 for the system installation. To guarantee affordability, patients would be charged $25 a
month to use the application. Prices will be set depending on the company's ability to establish
Funding Requirements
Financial details of the company concept are outlined here, such as the amount of funding
required to make the concept a reality (Tanev, Rasmussen & Hansen, 2020). It's also important to
14
consider rent space for operations, furniture, technical equipment (such as computers), WiFi
The multi-platform application will need a capital investment of $150,000 owing to its various
result of system purchases and membership payments, all costs will be covered. Aside from that,
the corporation plans to look at the wages of its employees and the cost of leasing office space in
New York City. The extra $250,000 in costs is expected to raise capital to $400,000 for the firm.
These money will be raised from a variety of sources, including investors, individual investors,
and banks.
Financial Projections
These financials may be determined by doing projected income statements, cash flow statements,
break-even analysis, and a whole lot more. The firm would be able to estimate how long it would
take to break even by doing a break-even study (Tanev, Rasmussen & Hansen, 2020). In this
To get the initiative started, Schedule Help will require $400,000 in funding. As a result of
system purchases and membership payments, all costs will be covered. As a result, the break-
even point might be reached sooner. Studies have shown, however, that the majority of viable
enterprises break even within the first two to three years. As a result, the same reasoning may be
Brand Development

Spreading the word about a product or service, enticing others to give it a try, providing valuable
information and keeping current customers satisfied are just some of the goals of promoting a
One of the most prevalent causes of a company's demise is a lack of awareness of what it does or
does not do. It's not always enough to just put up a sign and open the door. Advertising via social
media platforms and local radio or television, coupons in local newspapers, leaflets, etc. may be
In order to raise customer awareness of their goods and services, multinational businesses often
use the employment of slogans. Dodge truck drivers at stoplights asking, "Hey, that car has a
Hemi?" have drawn many new customers to the company's vehicles (Tewary & Mehta, 2021).
Now, Hemi is a recognized brand in its own right (Tewary & Mehta, 2021). A great hit for
Chrysler, the Hemi engine is now being offered in Jeeps. 'A phone call away from a healthy day'
might be a tagline for Schedule Help. Consequently, it is important to keep it succinct and
Promotion
The most typical kind of marketing is promoting a brand new product or encouraging those who
have never used it before to give it a try. Customers may be provided complimentary samples on
occasion (Lam, 2021). As a result, Schedule Help might provide a free two-week trial to
prospective consumers to entice them to make a purchase and subscribe. Influencer marketing
has made it easier for people to experiment with new items, particularly in the current era of
trust.

It's more typical to see educational advertising in the early stages of a product's life cycle than
any other kind (Lopes & Veiga, 2019). If the product's contents (the programme) have a positive
effect on the consumer's health, or if the product is better than the competition, then this sort of
In order to get consumers to use a product more regularly, it's common practise to run
promotions. As a result, advertising should emphasise the necessity of consumers utilising the
product on a regular basis and the advantages that accrue as a result, such as better health
management for those customers. It is thus necessary to educate customers about the product at
this point.
A promotion mix, on the other hand, will help an idea succeed (Lam, 2021). Traditional
advertising and direct marketing techniques like personal selling and sales promotion are used by
marketers together with public relations and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to
help promote a product (Lam, 2021). Each firm has a unique way of promoting its products. In
the end, it's all about getting the company's message out to the right people at the right time.
