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.

After opportunity spotting and scanning of the environment, an entrepreneurial idea should lead to a _____.

Options:

Evaluate product

Definite product

Analyse product

Natural product

Correct Answer:

Definite product

Explanation:

After opportunity spotting and scanning of the environment, an entrepreneurial idea should lead to a definite product.

This is because the idea has been refined and developed to the point where it is a specific product or service that can be offered to customers. Sudha's idea for an instrument for old people that could be fitted with an electronic device is a definite product. She has already developed a prototype of the device and tested it with her grandmother. She has also studied the pros and cons of production.

The other options are not suitable because:

  • Evaluate product: This implies that the product has already been created and is now being evaluated to see if it is successful. Sudha is still in the early stages of developing her idea and has not yet created a product.
  • Analyse product: This implies that the product is being broken down into its component parts to understand how it works. Sudha has already done some analysis of her idea, but she is still in the process of developing the product.
  • Natural product: This implies that the product is made from natural materials. Sudha's idea does not specify whether the device would be made from natural materials.

Therefore, the most appropriate term to describe the stage Sudha is at is "definite product."
