TASK 2

Idea/Concept -

The term idea can be defined as combination of different types of thoughts that are generally developed with the intent but it can also be created unintentionally. There are various types of ideas such as abstraction, brainstorming, thought experimentation etc.

There are various lessons that can be learned by the individual while getting the concepts and ideas to the market place. The concept of starting the business of smart home parts distribution helps me to learn various things. These are as follows -

Focus on the problem -

One of the major lesson learned is that starting a new business helps to bring new products in the market place that helps to provide solutions for current problems that are faced by the organization. Questionnaire helps to evaluate the views, attitude, need of people in respect of products that are used in smart homes such as security cameras etc. It helps to understand the problems related with security that customers are facing currently in their homes.

Focus on a market niche -

Another important lesson that has learned is that entrepreneur should concentrate on a specific target segment to offer new product or service. Developing marketing strategies for a niche segment not only provides new start-ups an opportunity to start a new business in successful way but also assist the entrepreneur to grow into major players in a larger market. Further, for distributing smart home parts the target market has been selected on the basis of different factors such as demographic, behavioural etc. This will help to satisfy the requirements of particular niche segment as well as it will also support the business to increase the sales and to improve profitability (.

Reduce barriers to conduct business -

Another important lesson learned is that entrepreneur faces various barriers while establishing a new business. I also faced various problems in starting the business of distributing smart home parts. One of the major problem faced is related with cash flow. This problem has emerged from delay in invoicing. Therefore, entrepreneur should adopt methods for proper management of cash flow such as effective budgeting. Another thing required is down payment for the products. Another challenge that is faced while conducting business is related with hiring skilled workers that helps to manufacture and deliver innovative parts for smart home to clients. It has been analysed that employer should recruit workers from different sources such as internal and external sources. This will help to recruit and select skilled employee's that helps to achieve the aim and objectives of the firm.

Understanding the competition is a good thing -

I have also learned that competition can be a good thing for buyers as well as for the business as well. The level of competition existing in the market between various firms help to develop innovative product for the customers. There is intense competition between firms that are operating in furnishing industry. This has provided an opportunity to develop and offer unique smart home parts to the clients such security cameras etc. Competition between various companies creates competition between firms to supply differentiated products that help the firm to secure competitive position in the market. Another lesson learned is that competition forces firms to make efforts for innovating new products. It also drives growth of economy and also help to improve standard of living of people living in the country (Ruch and et.al, 2018).

Keep message consistent -

If customer views one thing in a presentation and different message on the website of company or in an advertisement it is possible that they have to mentally reconcile all the different types of messages. There are possibility that they will not engage with the business and not purchase the products offered by the company. Therefore, entrepreneur should also focus on improving the marketing function because it greatly affects the sales and profitability of the company. There should be proper objectives behind marketing activities performed by the business.
