invest in the launch of your new product. New product can also be use to Increase/defend
market share by offering more choice or updating older products and improve
relationship with distributors.

The development of a product will start with the concept. The rest of the process
will ensure that ideas are tested for their viability so in the beginning all ideas are good
ideas. The ideas can and will come from many different directions. The best place to start is
with a SWOT analysis, which incorporates current market trends.
2. Idea & Product Screening:
After the firm identifies potential products, it must screen them. In product
screening, poor, unsuitable, or otherwise unattractive ideas are weeded out from further
action. Today many companies use a new product-screening checklist for preliminary
evaluation. The checklist is standardized and allows ideas to be compared.
3. Concept Development & Testing:
You have an idea and its passed the screening stage. However, internal opinion is
not the most important. You need to ask some people that matter your customers. Using a
small group of your true customer base those that convert the idea need to be tested to see
their reaction.
4. Business & Financial Analysis:

together to assess whether the new product or service will be profitable or not. This should
include a detailed marketing strategy, highlighting the target market and the marketing mix
that will be used.

If the new idea or product is approved it will be passed to the technical and
marketing development stage. Product development converts a product idea into a physical
form and identified a basic marketing strategy. It involves product construction, packing,
branding, product positioning, and usage testing.
6. Test marketing:
Test marketing is different to concept or consumer testing. Test marketing involves
placing a product for sale in one or more selected areas and observing its actual
performance under the proposed marketing plan.
7. Commercialization:
After testing is completed, the firm is ready to introduce the product to its full target
market. This is commercialization and corresponds to the introductory stage of the product
life cycle. Commercialization involves implementing a total marketing plan and full
production.

fund either company operations or expansions. These transactions are the third set of
cash activities displayed on the statement of cash flows.
Q3:- Explain the barriers to creativity.
Answer:
Creativity.

P a g e | 7
Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is
characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make
connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions.
Barriers to creativity:
There are five basic types of barriers to creativity as under:
1. Historical:
 History repeat itself
 Useless any attempt to change
 Little control over life
In the historical sense, the following examples might give reason for an individual or
a society not to attempt the new to seek another solution to find a better way.
For example, there was Plato maintaining that history repeats itself. He wrote so
convincingly of the circles of civilization repeating them that too many it has seemed
futile to attempt any changes.
2. Biological:
 Creative ability is a genetic feature
 Environment is the major factor
For biological point view some scholars insist that creative ability is a hereditary trait
while others maintain that environment is the major factor. Inherited genes do play a
role within the measures of any kind of intelligence but too often in the case of
creative intelligence, heredity seems to be more excuse than actual fact.
3. Physiological:
 Brain damage
 Disease
 Accident
Physiological barriers can exist through types of brain damage one might incur
through disease or accident. Or one might have a physical disability of some sort that
prevents certain types of productivity.
4. Sociological:
 Social environment affects our creative expression
 Creative expression involves personal risk
 Negative reaction
Most certainly, our social environment affects our creative expression. A society is
comprised of individuals organized in some manner for the protection and supposedly
the advancement of its individual members. Social environment is a major factor in
our ability to use our creative potential and to express our own uniqueness. Creative
expression involves personal risk. Negative reactions to our expressions from our
own group can cause us to experience even less self-significance.

P a g e | 8
5. Psychological:
 Self- imposed barriers
 Conformity or giving the answer expected
 Lack of effort in challenging the apparent
 Evaluating too quickly
 Fear of looking like a fool
The self-imposed barrier is one of the more difficult barriers to recognize. We put it
up ourselves either consciously or unconsciously.
The barrier of conformity follows the previous barrier in the sense that many
managers feel they have to conform to the patterns established by their colleagues in
the organization in which they work.
Another barrier is the lack of effort in challenging the obvious solution. This barrier is
in fact two barriers rolled into one. When faced with problems there is a tendency to
go for the obvious answer, which is accepted without question.
Q4:- Explain the Techniques to Improve Creativity.
Answer:

P a g e | 9
Creativity:
Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is
characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make
connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions.
Techniques to Improve Creativity:
1. Be diverse. (Team Work)
There is a reason they say that two heads are better than one. Diverse teams can be far
more creative than individuals can because several brains naturally can generate more ideas
than a single brain. However, too much or the wrong kind of diversity can actually hurt. To
be most creative, teams should have people of differing skills, talents and backgrounds, but
with similar values and motivations. Everyone should be united behind a common goal.
2. Take a break.
Ceaselessly grinding away at a problem is less likely to produce a creative breakthrough
than consistent effort combined with occasional breaks to rest, relax, and recharge.
Incorporating exercise into breaks helps even more. Research shows people come up with
more and better ideas while walking than while standing still. Moreover, do not discount
meditation. The regular practice of mindfulness has been consistently connected with greater
creativity.
3. Reduce time pressures.
Although necessity may be the mother of invention, that does not mean people will only
be creative or be more creative when their backs are up against the wall. In fact, deadlines
have been shown to make people less creative. So, while you may at times be forced to be
creative when an 11th-hour problem strikes, you'll probably be at your creative best in a
more relaxed environment when you are not under the gun to deliver results quickly.
4. Change the scene.
Changing the physical environment has been shown to significantly help creativity.
Moving outside the business's familiar walls also helps barnstormers get outside their
familiar thought patterns.
5. Embrace failure.
One of the best-established connections between creativity and corporate culture has to
do with the way failure is treated. Simply put, creative people have to feel safe to come up
with new approaches and to try them out. That means not punishing failure and, in fact,
rewarding it.
6. Developing a procedure for capturing ideas

P a g e | 10
It is the best techniques to improve the creativity of a business. The organization also
cans develop a procedure to capture new ideas to improve creativity and improve the
organization’s production process and other systems.
7. Providing creativity training
The organization can train their employees to make them creative by providing them
creativity training. Most of the international organizations use this method to improve their
product and to do some thinks new.
8. Diversity of thought
Try different ways of thinking. Recognizing where you (and your team) are strong, and
where you aren’t, is critical. If you know you are not adept at one part of the creative process,
seek others who are. Bounce thoughts off them and listen to the new directions their different
thinking can provide. Challenge yourself to be open to other’s perspectives.
Q5:- Explain the components of business plans.
Answer:

bank statements to contracts and inventories. It should be used on an as-needed basis
and include only essential information.
Q6:- Difference between managerial and entrepreneurial
decision-making.
Answer:

P a g e | 13
The difference between the entrepreneurial and the managerial styles (managerial
styles are called the administrative domain) can be viewed from five key business dimensions;
which are following.
1. Strategic orientation
The entrepreneur’s strategic orientation depends on his or her perception of the
opportunity. This orientation is most important when other opportunities have
diminishing returns accompanied by rapid changes in technology, consumer economies,
social values, or political rules. When the use of planning systems as well as measuring
performance to control current resources is the strategic orientation, the administrative
(managerial) domain is operant, as is the case with many large multi-national org.
2. Commitment to opportunity
In terms of the commitment to opportunity, the second key business dimension,
the two domains vary greatly with respect to the length of this commitment. The
entrepreneurial domain is pressured by the need for action, short decision windows, a
willingness to assume risk, and few decision constituencies and has a short time span in
terms of opportunity commitment. This administrative (managerial) domain is not only
slow to act on an opportunity, but once action is taken, the commitment is usually for
a long time span, too long in some instances. There are often no mechanisms set up in
companies to stop and re-evaluate an initial resource commitment once it is made - a
major problem in the administrative (managerial) domain.
3. Commitment of resources
An entrepreneur is used to having resources committed at periodic intervals that
are often based on certain tasks or objectives being reached. These resources, often
acquired from others, are usually difficult to obtain, forcing the entrepreneur to
maximize any resources used. This multistage commitment allows the resource
providers (such as venture capitalists or private investors) to have as small an exposure
as possible at each stage of business development and to constantly monitor the track
record being established. Even though the funding may also be implemented in stages in
the administrative domain, the commitment of the recourses is for the total amount
needed. Administratively oriented individuals respond to the source of the rewards
offered and receive personal rewards by effectively administering the resources under
their control.
4. Control of resources
Control of the resources follows a similar pattern. Since the administrator (manager)
is rewarded by effective resource administration, there is often a drive to own or

P a g e | 14
accumulate as many resources as possible. The pressures of power, status, and financial
rewards cause the administrator (manager) to avoid rental or other periodic use of the
resource. The opposite is true for the entrepreneur who—under the pressure of limited
resources, the risk of obsolescence, a need for flexibility, and the risks involved—strives
to rent, or otherwise achieve periodic use of, the recourses on an as-needed basis.
5. Management structure
The final business dimension, management structure, also differs significantly
between the two domains. In the administrative domain, the organizational structure is
formalized and hierarchical in nature, reflecting the need for clearly defined lines of
authority and responsibility the entrepreneur, true to his or her desire for independence
employs a flat organizational structure with informal networks throughout.
Q7:- Explain the Michael porter’s five forces model
Answer:
Porter's five forces
“Porter five forces analysis is a framework that attempts to analyze the level of
competition within an industry and business strategy development. It draws upon industrial
organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity
and therefore attractiveness of an Industry”.
“Porter's five forces is a model of analysis that helps to explain why different
industries are able to sustain different levels of profitability. This model was originally
published in porter's book, "competitive strategy: techniques for analyzing industries and
competitors" in 1980. The model is widely used, worldwide, to analyze the industry
structure of a company as well as its corporate strategy”.
1. Competition in the industry

P a g e | 15
The importance of this force is the number of competitors and their ability to
threaten a company. The larger the number of competitors, along with the number of
equivalent products and services they offer, dictates the power of a company. Suppliers
and buyers seek out a company's competition if they are unable to receive a suitable deal.
2. Potential of new entrants into an industry
The force of new entrants into its market also affects a company’s power. The less
money and time it costs for a competitor to enter a company's market and be an effective
competitor, the more a company's position may be significantly weakened.
3. Power of suppliers
This force addresses how easily suppliers can drive up the price of goods and
services. The number of suppliers of key aspects of a good or service, how unique these
aspects are and how much it would cost a company to switch from one supplier to
another affects it. The fewer number of suppliers and the more a company depends upon
a supplier, the more power a supplier holds.
4. Power of customers
This specifically deals with the ability customers have to drive prices down. How
many buyers, or customers affect it, a company has, how significant each customer is and
how much it would cost a customer to switch from one company to another. The smaller
and more powerful a client base, the more power it holds.
5. Threat of substitutes
Competitor substitutions that can be used in place of a company's products or
services pose a threat. For example, if customers rely on a company to provide a tool or
service that can be substituted with another tool or service or by performing the task
manually and this substitution is fairly easy and of low cost, a company's power can be
weakened.

Q9:- Describe business model? Identify four major component
of business model.
Answer:
Business model:
It represents the common group of characteristic and methods of doing business to
generate sales revenues and reduce expenses.
Majorcomponents of business model:
Major components of business model are following:
1. Producer
Each model includes the entity that offers a product or service. In most models, the
company itself fills this position and is the producer of the product. Sometimes, for example,
the company delivers, rather than makes, the product. That company, then, is the producer of
the delivery system.
2. Offer or Value Proposition
The value proposition is the perceived value your products provide as the solution to
the consumer's problem or need. Typically, this is a physical product, but services, digital
products, intellectual property and ideas are all value propositions. Often, companies will
offer a product and a related service together, such as a car and its maintenance.
3. Target Market Segment
The targeted market is the group of consumers your plan to offer the value of your
product to. Since different markets use the same or similar products, adding multiple
segments can increase the potential gain for your company.
4. Distribution or Movement Channel

P a g e | 20

distribution, or movement, channel. This establishes the means by which your business
relates to your customers.
5. Consumer Relationship
How you establish relationships with your various customer segments is your
consumer relationship. It defines how you gain their trust and deliver your product. Brand
recognition falls under this area, as does customer service.
6. Value and Resource Configuration
How you utilize the activities, personnel, and resources necessary to produce your
product are your value and resource configuration or value chain. This configuration is the
basis for your cost and revenue structures.
7. Core Competency
The basic knowledge, skill set, abilities, and expertise required to produce your
product is your core competency. Initially, it rests in the owner-innovator and the team she
surrounds herself with to bring the product to market.
8. Network or Affiliation Partners
The partner network represents agreements between your business and other
companies necessary to produce and market your product. They include materials and parts
suppliers, retail outlets, shippers, advertising agencies, and media outlets. Commercializing
the value of your product relies on your partnerships.
9. Cost Structures
The expense required to manufacture a product or provide a service is the cost
structure. This includes fixed costs such as leases or mortgage payments, and variable costs,
such as research and development, marketing, shipping, and payroll. The ratio of fixed costs
to variable costs represents the cost structure.
10. Revenue Streams
The ways a company makes income are its revenue streams. Most often, this is
income due to sales. However, it can refer to bartered goods and value-added returns from
consumers, partners or third parties such as unsolicited viral or social marketing.

Q10:- Role of entrepreneur in economic development and
Explain social responsibility and ethics.
Answer:
Role of Entrepreneur in Economic Development:
The major Roles played by an entrepreneur in the economic development of an economy
are discussed in a systematic and orderly manner as follows.
(1) Promotes capital formation:
Entrepreneurs promote capital formation by mobilizing the idle savings of public.
They employ their own as well as borrowed resources for setting up their enterprises.
Such types of entrepreneurial activities lead to value addition and creation of wealth,
which is very essential for the industrial and economic development of the country.

Entrepreneurs provide immediate large-scale employment to the unemployed,
which is a chronic problem of under developed nations. With the setting up. Of more
and more units by entrepreneurs, both on small and large-scale numerous job
opportunities are created for others.

Entrepreneurs help to remove regional disparities through setting up of industries
in less developed and backward areas. The growth of industries and business in these
areas lead to a large number of public benefits like road transport, health, education.
(4) Reduces concentration of economic power:
Economic power is the natural outcome of industrial and business activity.
Industrial development normally leads to concentration of economic power in the hands
of a few individuals which results in the growth of monopolies.
(5) Wealth creation and distribution:

P a g e | 22
It stimulates equitable redistribution of wealth and income in the interest of the
country to more people and geographic areas, thus giving benefit to larger sections of
the society. Entrepreneurial activities also generate more activities and give a
multiplier effect in the economy.

people to avail better quality goods at lower prices, which results in the improvement of
their standard of living.
