All rights reserved. 9–20 The Evaluation Process • Profile Analysis Involves identifying and investigating the financial, marketing, organizational, and human resource variables that influence the business’s potential before the new idea is put into practice. • The Feasibility Criteria Approach Involves the use of a criteria selection list from which entrepreneurs can gain insights into the viability of their venture. • Comprehensive Feasibility Approach Incorporates external factors in addition to those included in the criteria questions.
21.
© 2009 South-Western,
a part of Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 9–21 Feasibility Criteria Approach • Assessing the viability of a venture: Is it proprietary? Are the initial production costs realistic? Are the initial marketing costs realistic? Does the product have potential for very high margins? Is the time required to get to market and to reach the break-even point realistic? Is the potential market large? Is the product the first of a growing family? Does an initial customer exist? Are the development costs and calendar times realistic? Is this a growing industry? Can the product and the need for it be understood by the financial community?
