Entrepreneurial Opportunity

Question:

Sudha has just passed her class XII with 90% marks and was to start her own business but was unable to decide about the nature of business. Her friend, Sumita suggested her to seek professional help.

One day during the morning walk her grandmother fell down in park. She observed that her grandmother often forgets to take her medicines. She thought that the same problem might be faced by other old people. She got an idea from here to start a business, to develop an instrument for old people that could be fitted with an electronic device connected to the mobile phones of members of their family which could indicate the location of old people when they go outside their homes. This device was to be kept in their pockets. She also thought to fit a timer in the instrument that could remind the old persons about the time of taking their medicines. She also made it a point to observe her grandmother sometimes during the morning walk to see the functioning of the device. Sudha also studied pros and cons of production before launching it.

She contacted a professional, Sanjay, as advised by her friend, and asked him to give his valuable technical assistance and capital to finance her ideas.

Identify the step of creative process from the below mentioned lines:

"She also made it a point to observe her grandmother sometimes during the morning walk to see functioning of the device".

Options:

Incubation

Illumination

Innovation

Verification

Correct Answer:

Verification

Explanation:

The step of the creative process from the line "She also made it a point to observe her grandmother sometimes during the morning walk to see the functioning of the device" is Verification.

Verification is the stage in the creative process where the idea is tested to see if it works. In this case, Sudha is testing her device by observing how her grandmother uses it. This observation will help her to identify any problems with the device and make improvements before she launches it to the public.

The other options are not suitable because:

  • Incubation: Incubation is the stage of the creative process where the idea is allowed to develop and grow. This stage typically occurs before the idea has been fully developed, so Sudha would not be observing her grandmother's use of the device at this stage.
  • Illumination: Illumination is the stage of the creative process where the idea suddenly comes to mind. This stage is typically very brief, so Sudha would not be observing her grandmother's use of the device for an extended period of time.
  • Innovation: Innovation is the stage of the creative process where the idea is implemented and put into use. Sudha is not yet at the stage of innovation, as she is still testing her device.
