Meeting Content
This main purpose of this general meeting among group member is to
ensure that all group members understand of this research project and
after that start our discussion based on Group Task 1 document. In this
meeting, we also introduce among each other and profiles of all
members were written down by Felix Kok. The first thing to do is to
nominate several products and services that are unique as compare to
what already exist. There are several product and services have been
nominated as below:
 Opportunities
Services
The Best Internet High, as the internet provider
Provider nowadays such as Digi, Maxis and
(by Javenson Serit) Celcom have the limitation of internet
quota to surf internet. When then users
exceed the internet quota, users will
get throttled after quota and requires
addition of cost to get extra high speed
internet. This new service will provide
a new brand of service which no quota
will be induced to the users.
Giant Tuition Center Moderate, as there are too many
(by Lim Beng Hooi) tuition centers everywhere and many
of them already planted their name
very well and being trusted by public.
However, the tuition center that we
will provide is quality guaranteed and
the subjects involved are basically
every single subject from primary and
secondary school. This center also
provides day care service that includes
monitoring of academic progress in
school and encouraging motivation of
learning which mainly targeted at
professional business man and women.
Hotel Low, as there are too many hotels have
(by Lim Beng Hooi) been built current day and hence this
business will be very risky and high
cost expenses. This hotel was planned
to build in Iskandar State of Johor,
Malaysia which consists of several
main places of interests such as theme
parks and tourist attraction. Among the
competitor, this proposal are factors
designed to seek the right balance
between price and quality service
while ensuring the hotel are
environmental designed through the
guidelines of green building.
Products
Sweetener Moderate, as the demand of sugar is
(by Felix Kok) extremely high in Malaysia and it can
be used in many purposes. Since
Malaysia is ranked top among Asian
countries for obesity, our idea is to
produce healthy sweet that have low
calorie and fat free that are able to
have possible health benefits.
 Bricks Moderate, as the country still
(by Chan Su Ming) developing like state of Sarawak.
There are many construction projects
in present days, so the demand is quite
high and worth to invest in this
business. Our brick will be slightly
different with the existing one, yet
tougher and cheaper. The usage of
renewable material will also be
considered into the proposal.

After discussion, we found that products that have think out is not quite
suitable as it really need to search more information to find new
materials and make it unique as compared to the existing one. And the
services can be taken into consideration.

After further discussing, Lim Beng Hooi thinks out with another product
and service. This time, we have start to consider the sustainability,
product potential and pragmatism as stated in the Group Task 1
document.

In the same time, Chan Su Ming and Felix Kok also doing some research
to find what other services can be included and improve the product to
the new current idea.
 The result of the efforts can be noticed in the table below:
Product: Solar Sustainability It is sustainable since the energy used is
Tablet solar energy. It make convenient to users
Charging Case and reduce dependency power bank which
(by Lim Beng require to be recharged, while the casing
Hooi) can be used as long as there is sunlight or
indoor lights, it will charge the device
automatically.
Product This product is very potential in Malaysia
Potential since there is no such casing selling
currently from any IT store within
Malaysia. The awareness of energy crisis is
growing and it leads to the ease of use the
renewable technology.
Pragmatism It is very useful and very convenient to use.
The usage of solar energy in Malaysia is
highly desirable.
Service: Study Sustainability The environment provided will be very
Center conducive to study. This study center will
(by Lim Beng not only provide the service to study,
Hooi) however, we will include some simple gym
equipment and shower room and so on.
There are still many services can be
included to satisfy the customer needs.
Service This service is very potential as there are no
Potential such services that closed to Swinburne area
or it is still not found in Kuching. Library in
Swinburne are always noisy and crowded.
This service will not only target the
university students, however, it is open to
everyone that desire to use. It should be
beneficial to students that do not have a
comfortable study environment at home.
Pragmatism It is very useful for many aspect, for
examples, it can be for self-study or
revision in group and conduct meeting.

with hygienic products. Since the competitive weakness of
Javenson Serit
their business model in the industry is unknown brand image,
M.E.N tells us that to develop a new product, heavy
advertising to the public such as Internet, magazine and so on
is a must. Therefore, the establishing product website and
trademark acquisition is crucial in order to achieve their vision
of becoming a recognized leader in the industry for selling
high value and household name in the men's grooming
products. The growing trends of more and more men paying
attention to their appearance are able to attract manufacturers
to invest into the mens toiletries industry. This gives an
insight to M.E.N founders of starting a business. Besides, the
location chose by M.E.N in Georgetown, DC was great due to
high human traffic and furthermore tourist and university
students were the potential buyers. M.E.N studies the strategic
layout of their shop display and store renovation carefully
which includes the arrangements of products and customer
services. The idea of unique products range and rewards
program were keen on to target the potential young to
professional men. With combined with great accessibility and
quality products, the aim of achieving 48 retail outlets
nationwide in 5 years together with selling products worldwide
shouldnt be hard. In overall, this business is very satisfied.
The planning and assumptions in financial and management
aspects show the basic and fundamental way of how start a
business company.
Business Plan Sample 2
by Chan Su Ming

The founders of RIT think that innovation technology in

railroad will has high potential to change the Railcar Industry
as they expected that SFT will improve the performance of
railroad trucks as compared to current trucks. However, the
cost for initial production design was too expensive. RIT
realized that the railroad market has to put more attention in
respect of design for the railroad truck. As the fuel efficiency
and payloads of the railroad industry in America was low,
AAR needs innovative technology that will improve railcars
that are able to transport goods and material. The current
truck manufacturers have been affiliated but struggling to
improve future trucks based on the design to meet the
efficiency dictated AAR and Class I railroads performance
specifications. If RIT SFT successfully advances the truck
design, the market for new trucks might be strongly
demanded. Costs and benefits are the essential key to be
analyzed by a company to determine whether the market is
worth to be invested or not. This proposal done by RIT shows
that RIT has made an effort to schedule the plan for capital
requirements and it has been analyzed thoroughly for a time
of 7 years.

Business Plan Sample 3

by Felix Kok
FrontaLobe shows a good idea that is able to integrate the
antenna with computer and mobile phones. The research
grand given by university is an advantage over other
competitor since there are also other manufacturers which are
able to produce similar product if FrontaLobe lacks of
financial grand in R&D. FrontaLobe have many keys to
success and this help their company to gain competitive
capabilities and reduce weaknesses. The business strategy
which included in this business plan teaches us the basis of
milestones and market analysis in order to give the product
introduced to the public. The drawback of their product is the
lack of sustainability as the future competitor will be rising
over the years. FrontaLobe need to be innovative and
 understanding the market trend and demands of the customer.
