Introduction
The sole purpose that pushes an individual to begin a business is to make a profit. The
way of making a profit from sakes involves the ability of the seller to convince the market to
have their preferences favorable to the products of the consumer. The producer, therefore, invests
much of the time in making the product to win the interest of the market (Pham & NguyenDang,
2019). The challenge is typically found when it comes to the translation of the ideas to work.
Many entrepreneurs tend to imagine that the best and what seems to be the only way of
conquering a more significant share of the market is by making their products look differently.
This is true, but it should be noted that it works in conjunction with some other strategies to
bring success to the business (Lam, 2018).
Factors to Consider When Starting a Business
In as much as the innovation strategy will work, there is a need to find the target group
for the product. That is the people that are expected to be the customers and the region of
coverage of the supply of the product. At all times, the product should be examined if the
product is set to be sold in either the global, local, national, or the regional market (McKenzie &
Sansone, 2019). This, therefore, will mean that the need of the people in such a targeted market
is investigated keenly to have prosperity in the business.
The market gap should be done appropriately through the feasibility studies for accuracy
(Pham & NguyenDang, 2019).
The other strategy that needs to be considered by the producer is strategies of marketing and
branding the product. The way the product is branded means a lot to the consumers. Therefore
the branding should be done in a way that attracts the people to buy (Lam, 2018). The promotion
INNOVATION AND THE ENTREPRENEUR 3
has become much better with the improvement in technology. Today promotion can be done at a
sitting and reach a more significant population than what personal sales would do (Pham &
NguyenDang, 2019). The coming of computers has enabled processes like teleconferencing and
online marketing. The smartphones as well will guarantee the seller that a larger population that
uses the smartphones will be reached by the information regarding the product (McKenzie &
Sansone, 2019). Using social platforms will give a safer game since it will reach many people as
well.
At times to start the process of implementing the idea of business may be a problem of
resources. In this respect, it will be necessary for the persons to think of joining ut their financial
efforts and raise a serious business that will sell (Watson et, al., 2028). Partnerships may be
preferred for such cases to come up with a solution. The large and stable financial base will give
security to the business and will help it to prosper. There is as well as the consideration of the
ancillary industries (McKenzie & Sansone, 2019). This leads to the centralization of firms. It is
advantageous to set a business where there is support gain from other companies.
In some cases, a firm may be using the by-products of another as its raw materials and
hence helps the other firm to dispose of them off (Pham & NguyenDang, 2019). The
interdependence of the firms shows the importance of coming together. At the same time, in
areas like in technology, it is profitable to start the business together for a bitter and more
significant growth by combined ideas. The technology advancement field, for example, has
individual specializing in different areas which with combined effort can result in considerable
profitability realized by the entrepreneurs (Lam, 2018).
Another aspect to be considered by the entrepreneur before setting of the business is the
availability of alternative goods. These may be either substitute. The products that are different
INNOVATION AND THE ENTREPRENEUR 4
from the right product to be produced but can be used in place of the same (Watson et, al., 2028).
The pricing of such goods will determine the profit margin for the product. If there are many
substitutes for the same product, then it will be risky to supply such product, for example (Pham
& NguyenDang, 2019). When the alternatives are cheaper, then the market will prefer
substitutes. Both of the products serve the same purpose, and hence pricing will be the point of
differentiation. It is therefore advisable to invest in areas of low competition. This is mainly a
challenge in third world countries (McKenzie & Sansone, 2019).
Also, it is essential to look at the social, economic, and political condition of the area
before setting the business. For the company to do well, it will need the resources in abundance
which can be found in the developed countries. Such developed countries can be taken advantage
of (Watson et al., 2028). The purchasing power in such states are as well high and can help in the
prosperity of the business (McKenzie & Sansone, 2019). The population determines the size of
the market for the products as well. Therefore the company should set in places of high
population density to boost its sales volume (Lam, 2018). Such developed countries also have a
stable political state. The peace will help give an assurance of continuous flow of resources
without interruption. This will significantly contribute to the success of the business. An
entrepreneur should consider these critical factors before setting the company in place (Pham &
NguyenDang, 2019).
