B.	
  Objectives	
  
a)	
  For	
  this	
  particular	
  charity	
  drive	
  we	
  have	
  decided	
  to	
  donate	
  our	
  earning	
  to	
  the	
  ‘World	
  
Vision’	
  organization.	
  We	
  have	
  chosen	
  this	
  particular	
  organization,	
  because	
  poverty	
  has	
  been	
  
one	
  of	
  the	
  longest	
  problems	
  that	
  the	
  world	
  has	
  faced.	
  We	
  felt	
  as	
  though	
  it	
  would	
  be	
  the	
  
most	
  appropriate	
  cause	
  to	
  support	
  as	
  everyday	
  we	
  see	
  how	
  much	
  food	
  is	
  wasted,	
  by	
  our	
  
selves	
  and	
  the	
  ones	
  around	
  us.	
  	
  
b)	
  Our	
  aim	
  and	
  target	
  to	
  donate	
  towards	
  the	
  organization	
  was	
  RM	
  2500,	
  which	
  would	
  mean	
  
almost	
  90%	
  of	
  target	
  sales	
  had	
  to	
  be	
  met,	
  before	
  even	
  thinking	
  about	
  achieving	
  that	
  target.

C.	
  Target	
  Market	
  
a)	
  The	
  Malaysian	
  community	
  consists	
  of	
  mainly	
  3	
  different	
  races,	
  Chinese,	
  Indian	
  &	
  Malay.	
  
Amongst	
  these	
  races	
  the	
  cultural	
  differences	
  are	
  in	
  ample	
  amounts,	
  in	
  terms	
  of	
  religion	
  and	
  
way	
  of	
  lives.	
  Furthermore	
  majority	
  of	
  the	
  students	
  in	
  Taylors	
  are	
  of	
  Chinese	
  origins	
  
(Buddhists	
  and	
  Christians),	
  followed	
  by	
  Malays	
  (Islam)	
  and	
  then	
  Indians	
  (Christians	
  and	
  
Hindus).	
  Assuming	
  that	
  even	
  though	
  various	
  nationalities	
  of	
  students	
  attend	
  Taylors	
  a	
  
generalized	
  assumption	
  can	
  be	
  made,	
  that	
  most	
  of	
  the	
  student	
  that	
  study	
  at	
  Taylors	
  
University	
  are	
  of	
  a	
  middle	
  or	
  upper	
  stage	
  of	
  the	
  socio	
  economic	
  scale.	
  Thus	
  would	
  be	
  
financially	
  stable	
  to	
  afford	
  the	
  products	
  that	
  would	
  be	
  sold.	
  	
  Majority	
  of	
  Malaysians	
  enjoy	
  
eating,	
  the	
  diversity	
  and	
  availability	
  in	
  the	
  various	
  types	
  of	
  food	
  sources	
  that	
  solidify	
  the	
  
consensus	
  that	
  eating	
  is	
  the	
  number	
  one	
  infatuation	
  that	
  all	
  Malaysians	
  share.	
  
Due	
  to	
  the	
  different	
  cultural	
  backgrounds	
  and	
  exposure,	
  this	
  would	
  then	
  mean,	
  the	
  type	
  of	
  
products	
  being	
  sold	
  would	
  not	
  only	
  need	
  to	
  satisfy	
  their	
  common	
  needs,	
  but	
  also	
  connect	
  to	
  
them	
  in	
  a	
  particular	
  sense	
  as	
  well.	
  However,	
  having	
  students,	
  as	
  primary	
  targets	
  would	
  
imply	
  that	
  they	
  would	
  be	
  more	
  open	
  and	
  less	
  reluctant	
  to	
  more	
  westernize	
  products.	
  
b)	
  Cheap	
  is	
  the	
  word	
  that	
  stands	
  out	
  when	
  thinking	
  about	
  the	
  masses	
  in	
  Malaysia,	
  this	
  is	
  
probably	
  the	
  most	
  common	
  stereotype	
  that	
  is	
  evident	
  amongst	
  the	
  peoples?	
  Anything	
  that	
  
is	
  cheap	
  is	
  right,	
  no	
  two	
  ways	
  about	
  it.	
  The	
  demand	
  and	
  supply	
  that	
  comes	
  of	
  the	
  lesser	
  
option	
  is	
  generally	
  most	
  popular.	
  Other	
  than	
  the	
  obvious	
  needs	
  and	
  wants	
  that	
  are	
  of	
  basic	
  
clarity.	
  	
  The	
  demand	
  for	
  products	
  that	
  possess	
  a	
  great	
  quality	
  is	
  also	
  a	
  massive	
  subjectivity	
  
amongst	
  the	
  Malaysians.	
  	
  
c)	
  Spending	
  power	
  is	
  specific	
  to	
  the	
  area	
  we	
  are	
  planning	
  to	
  sell	
  at,	
  in	
  this	
  instance	
  the	
  
prescribed	
  area	
  would	
  be	
  Taylors	
  University.	
  Based	
  on	
  this	
  evaluation	
  and	
  the	
  observation	
  
of	
  the	
  functions	
  of	
  the	
  commercial	
  block,	
  we	
  noticed	
  that	
  students	
  are	
  willing	
  to	
  spend	
  a	
  
minimum	
  average	
  of	
  thirty-­‐five	
  ringgit,	
  a	
  day.	
  Based	
  on	
  the	
  pricing	
  of	
  the	
  various	
  restaurants	
  
around	
  the	
  campus,	
  we	
  deducted	
  that	
  out	
  of	
  all	
  the	
  restaurants;	
  the	
  ‘Mamak’	
  would	
  be	
  the	
  
most	
  cheapest,	
  it’s	
  a	
  fall	
  back	
  restaurant	
  when	
  students	
  or	
  lecturers	
  are	
  tight	
  or	
  low	
  on	
  cash.	
  	
  
Furthermore	
  the	
  lecturers	
  at	
  Taylors	
  can	
  be	
  seen,	
  as	
  top	
  of	
  the	
  spending	
  chain,	
  due	
  to	
  the	
  
status	
  of	
  possessing	
  a	
  job,	
  hence	
  would	
  demean	
  the	
  greater	
  and	
  less	
  stressful	
  availability	
  of	
  
spending	
  power.	
  
	
  
	
  
D.	
  Competition	
  analysis	
  
Two	
  main	
  competitors	
  would	
  be	
  the	
  businesses	
  that	
  are	
  actually	
  selling	
  products	
  or	
  
distributing	
  services	
  that	
  are	
  totally	
  different	
  as	
  compared	
  to	
  our	
  products.	
  The	
  stall	
  next	
  to	
  
us	
  were	
  sponsored	
  massively,	
  as	
  they	
  possessed	
  a	
  Coco	
  Cola	
  machine	
  as	
  well	
  an	
  ice	
  cream	
  
dispenser.	
  This	
  would	
  already	
  prove	
  to	
  be	
  super	
  useful	
  resources	
  in	
  the	
  long	
  term.	
  As	
  the	
  
amount	
  of	
  profit	
  they	
  made	
  and	
  the	
  customers	
  they	
  would	
  attract	
  would	
  be	
  of	
  a	
  wider	
  base,	
  
due	
  the	
  humid/	
  hot	
  climate	
  that	
  Malaysia	
  possesses,	
  it	
  would	
  mean,	
  people	
  would	
  
automatically	
  seek,	
  a	
  cold	
  beverage	
  or	
  a	
  cold	
  dessert	
  to	
  sooth	
  their	
  warm	
  conditions.	
  
The	
  other	
  group,	
  that	
  proved	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  ‘threat’	
  would	
  be	
  the	
  group	
  that	
  was	
  offering	
  other	
  
services	
  that	
  neither	
  of	
  the	
  other	
  groups	
  possessed,	
  the	
  availability	
  of	
  ‘henna’	
  a	
  form	
  of	
  non	
  
permanent	
  tattooing	
  that	
  is	
  greatly	
  popular	
  amongst	
  teenagers.	
  This	
  would	
  mean,	
  that	
  their	
  
target	
  market	
  would	
  be	
  more	
  specific	
  to	
  girls,	
  and	
  shockingly	
  a	
  large	
  number	
  of	
  boys	
  now	
  
too,	
  as	
  they’re	
  more	
  willing	
  to	
  try	
  new	
  things.	
  
	
  
However	
  I	
  felt	
  like	
  due	
  to	
  the	
  fact	
  that	
  both	
  booth	
  had	
  more	
  resources	
  and	
  different	
  
services	
  compared	
  to	
  us,	
  it	
  also	
  meant	
  that,	
  no	
  other	
  groups	
  actually	
  sold	
  what	
  we	
  did,	
  
which	
  were	
  chicken	
  floss	
  tarts,	
  longan	
  pudding,	
  unique	
  muffins	
  and	
  chocolate	
  chip	
  cookies.	
  
Their	
  weaknesses	
  were	
  probably	
  how	
  they	
  weren’t	
  really	
  able	
  to	
  handle	
  large	
  number	
  of	
  
customers	
  due	
  to	
  inexperienced	
  student	
  working	
  at	
  their	
  booths.	
  	
  
	
  
E.	
  Product	
  &	
  Packaging	
  
For	
  the	
  products	
  of	
  our	
  charity	
  drive,	
  we	
  decided	
  to	
  sell	
  tarts,	
  muffins	
  and	
  puddings.	
  We	
  
initially	
  thought	
  of	
  selling	
  more	
  items	
  such	
  as	
  marshmallow	
  dips	
  and	
  drinks	
  but	
  we	
  cut	
  them	
  
down	
  to	
  3	
  items	
  in	
  the	
  end	
  that	
  we	
  think	
  would	
  be	
  easier	
  and	
  could	
  get	
  more	
  respond	
  from	
  
the	
  customers.	
  	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
Products	
  
	
  
Item	
  01	
  |	
  the	
  muffins	
  would	
  be	
  our	
  main	
  item	
  sponsored	
  by	
  Bake	
  &	
  Brew	
  café	
  from	
  Penang.	
  
A	
   total	
   of	
   129	
   muffins	
   were	
   sponsored,	
   consisting	
   different	
   flavours	
   such	
   as	
   red	
   velvet,	
  
chocolate	
  chips,	
  green	
  tea,	
  blueberry,	
  molten	
  chocolate	
  and	
  poppy	
  seed.	
  We	
  think	
  that	
  the	
  	
  
muffin	
  would	
  get	
  a	
  huge	
  respond	
  as	
  who	
  doesn’t	
  like	
  something	
  sweet	
  and	
  easy	
  to	
  grab	
  on	
  
the	
  go?	
  And	
  indeed	
  it	
  turned	
  out	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  popular	
  item	
  at	
  our	
  stall.	
  It	
  received	
  a	
  pretty	
  good	
  
respond	
  from	
  the	
  customers,	
  each	
  praising	
  the	
  flavour	
  and	
  the	
  sweetness	
  that	
  is	
  perfect	
  to	
  
the	
  point.	
  	
  	
  	
  
	
  
Packaging	
   |	
   As	
   for	
   the	
   packaging	
   of	
   the	
   muffins,	
   they	
   were	
   individually	
   packed.	
   The	
  
packaging	
  would	
  attract	
  customers	
  as	
  it	
  was	
  being	
  placed	
  in	
  a	
  transparent	
  small	
  packaging	
  
bag,	
  which	
  shows	
  those	
  yummy	
  looking	
  muffins.	
  The	
  muffins	
  fit	
  the	
  bags	
  perfectly,	
  which	
  
give	
  an	
  illusion	
  that	
  the	
  sizes	
  are	
  quite	
  huge.	
  It	
  also	
  looks	
  clean	
  and	
  decent	
  from	
  our	
  stall.	
  	
  
	
  
Item	
  02	
  |	
  the	
  chicken	
  floss	
  tarts	
  is	
  our	
  second	
  item.	
  One	
  of	
  our	
  group	
  mates,	
  Simpson	
  Chin	
  
purchase	
  stocks	
  from	
  his	
  aunty	
  with	
  the	
  original	
  price.	
  It	
  is	
  basically	
  a	
  tart	
  with	
  chicken	
  floss	
  
fillings.	
  We	
  think	
  that	
  customers	
  would	
  like	
  it	
  because	
  they	
  are	
  quite	
  special;	
  very	
  few	
  
people	
  had	
  tried	
  it	
  before.	
  It	
  also	
  has	
  a	
  unique	
  look.	
  It	
  would	
  definitely	
  spark	
  up	
  passer-­‐by’s	
  
interest.	
  	
  
	
  
Packaging	
  |	
  There	
  were	
  also	
  two	
  kinds	
  of	
  packaging	
  for	
  the	
  tarts.	
  For	
  those	
  that	
  are	
  going	
  to	
  
be	
  sold	
  separately,	
  we	
  packed	
  4	
  tarts	
  in	
  a	
  bag.	
  It	
  was	
  packed	
  in	
  a	
  transparent	
  packaging	
  bag	
  
like	
  how	
  the	
  muffins	
  were	
  packed.	
  As	
  for	
  the	
  second	
  packaging,	
  the	
  tarts	
  were	
  packed	
  in	
  a	
  
bottle.	
  The	
  bottled	
  packaging’s	
  are	
  for	
  customers	
  whom	
  are	
  interested	
  to	
  buy	
  the	
  tarts	
  in	
  a	
  
huge	
   and	
   cheaper	
   amount.	
   	
   The	
   packaging	
   would	
   attract	
   customers	
   because	
   they	
   were	
  
transparent	
   and	
   showcased	
   the	
   unique	
   and	
   appealing	
   appearance	
   of	
   the	
   tarts.	
   Potential	
  
customers	
  would	
  be	
  curious	
  about	
  it	
  and	
  have	
  a	
  look	
  when	
  they	
  are	
  passing	
  by	
  our	
  stall.	
  
	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
Item	
  03	
  |	
  the	
  third	
  item,	
  homemade	
  puddings	
  sponsored	
  by	
  our	
  fellow	
  group	
  mate,	
  Jason	
  
Nge.	
  The	
  puddings	
  are	
  longan	
  flavoured,	
  with	
  canned	
  longan	
  flesh	
  in	
  each	
  one	
  of	
  them.	
  We	
  
think	
  that	
  customers	
  would	
  like	
  it,	
  as	
  it	
  was	
  chilled	
  and	
  lightly	
  packed,	
  absolutely	
  suitable	
  on	
  
warm	
  weathered	
  days.	
  It	
  received	
  quite	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  good	
  feedbacks	
  and	
  were	
  quite	
  popular	
  as	
  it	
  
was	
  served	
  chilled	
  which	
  cooled	
  down	
  people’s	
  thirst.	
  	
  
	
  
Packaging	
  |	
  the	
  puddings	
  were	
  packed	
  in	
  a	
  really	
  simple	
  packaging	
  with	
  no	
  ornaments	
  to	
  
bring	
  out	
  that	
  homemade	
  character.	
  The	
  packaging	
  was	
  a	
  transparent	
  small	
  container	
  so	
  
that	
  customers	
  could	
  see	
  what	
  it	
  contains.	
  Although	
  it	
  is	
  not	
  fancy	
  looking	
  but	
  it	
  promoted	
  a	
  
more	
  organic	
  look.

Our	
  products	
  are	
  quite	
  popular,	
  as	
  the	
  muffins	
  are	
  delicious	
  and	
  worthy	
  of	
  its	
  price;	
  the	
  tarts	
  
are	
  unique	
  and	
  fresh	
  to	
  the	
  customers	
  as	
  they	
  rarely	
  see	
  anything	
  like	
  it	
  before;	
  and	
  the	
  
puddings	
  are	
  chilly

  allowed	
  us	
  to	
  set	
  the	
  pricing	
  higher	
  than

  We	
  set	
  our

  of	
  the	
  products	
  fairly	
  and	
  in	
  an	
  acceptable	
  range,	
  so	
  that	
  
customers	
  would	
  not	
  feel	
  being	
  cheated	
  on.	
  
We	
  also	
  came	
  out	
  with	
  some	
  strategies	
  in	
  advance	
  in	
  case	
  we	
  have	
  difficulty	
  selling	
  our	
  
products.	
  
• Sell	
   our	
   products	
   outside	
   of	
   campus	
   to	
   working	
   adults	
   whom	
   have	
   the	
   spending	
  
ability	
  to	
  buy	
  them	
  
• Walk	
  around	
  campus	
  or	
  offices	
  and	
  approach	
  potential	
  customers	
  instead	
  of	
  sitting	
  
around	
  the	
  stall.	
  
G.	
  Promotion	
  
a)	
  Change	
  for	
  change.	
  By	
  sparing	
  your	
  change	
  into	
  the	
  donation	
  box,	
  you	
  can	
  change	
  
somebody	
  else’s	
  life.	
  	
  
b)	
  Our	
  2	
  main	
  tools	
  for	
  promoting	
  our	
  products	
  are	
  giving	
  free	
  samples	
  of	
  our	
  products,	
  and	
  
also	
  face-­‐to-­‐face	
  conversation.	
  Firstly,	
  we	
  gave	
  free	
  samples	
  of	
  both	
  our	
  cookies	
  by	
  crushing	
  
them	
  into	
  smaller	
  pieces	
  and	
  leave	
  it	
  there	
  on	
  the	
  table	
  for	
  the	
  customers	
  to	
  try.	
  This	
  
approach	
  showed	
  us	
  decent	
  results	
  as	
  most	
  of	
  the	
  customers	
  who	
  tried	
  the	
  samples	
  bought	
  
our	
  products.	
  However,	
  we	
  do	
  have	
  some	
  other	
  customers	
  who	
  just	
  tried	
  free	
  cookies	
  and	
  
walked	
  away.	
  	
  
Secondly,	
  we	
  did	
  face	
  to	
  face	
  conversations.	
  This	
  approach	
  showed	
  us	
  great	
  results	
  as	
  most	
  
of	
  the	
  customers	
  do	
  not	
  know	
  what	
  products	
  we	
  were	
  selling.	
  By	
  conversing	
  with	
  the	
  
lecturers,	
  the	
  students	
  and	
  some	
  of	
  our	
  friends,	
  they	
  got	
  to	
  know	
  what	
  we	
  were	
  actually	
  
selling	
  and	
  adding	
  on	
  by	
  letting	
  them	
  try	
  our	
  samples,	
  they	
  bought	
  our	
  products	
  almost	
  
instantaneously.	
  	
  
Other	
  than	
  these	
  two,	
  we	
  did	
  posters	
  as	
  well.	
  However,	
  it	
  was	
  not	
  as	
  effective	
  as	
  not	
  really	
  a	
  
lot	
  of	
  people	
  were	
  paying	
  attention	
  to	
  the	
  boards	
  behind	
  us.	
  	
  
c)	
  We	
  have	
  chosen	
  the	
  two	
  main	
  strategies	
  because	
  we	
  thought	
  that	
  it	
  would	
  be	
  easier	
  if	
  we	
  
just	
  communicate	
  with	
  our	
  customers	
  instead	
  of	
  letting	
  them	
  discover	
  us	
  by	
  themselves.	
  We	
  
have	
  to	
  be	
  bold	
  and	
  not	
  be	
  afraid	
  of	
  rejection	
  in	
  order	
  for	
  the	
  two	
  strategies	
  to	
  work.	
  By	
  
approaching	
  them	
  and	
  conversing	
  with	
  them,	
  it	
  made	
  them	
  feel	
  that	
  we	
  are	
  very	
  sincere	
  in	
  
selling	
  our	
  products.	
  Then,	
  by	
  letting	
  the	
  customers	
  try	
  our	
  products,	
  it	
  helped	
  assuring	
  the	
  
quality	
  of	
  our	
  product,	
  and	
  hence	
  customers	
  are	
  more	
  willing	
  to	
  spend	
  on	
  our	
  products.	
  	
  
	
  
H.	
  Sponsors	
  
a)	
  For	
  sponsorship	
  wise,	
  we	
  approached	
  our	
  relatives	
  first,	
  and	
  then	
  we	
  tried	
  to	
  find	
  
sponsorship	
  from	
  several	
  big	
  corporate	
  like	
  for	
  example	
  The	
  Great	
  Eastern	
  and	
  
Permasteelisa.	
  	
  
b)	
  Our	
  relatives	
  were	
  very	
  enthusiastic	
  in	
  donating	
  some	
  amount	
  of	
  money.	
  We	
  targeted	
  
them	
  because	
  we	
  know	
  them	
  personally	
  and	
  the	
  chances	
  of	
  them	
  donating	
  are	
  higher	
  than	
  
other	
  business	
  groups.	
  Then,	
  we	
  targeted	
  the	
  2	
  big	
  corporate	
  because	
  some	
  of	
  our	
  relatives	
  
are	
  working	
  inside	
  and	
  so	
  we	
  tried	
  our	
  luck.	
  	
  
c)	
  Jason’s	
  mother	
  sponsored	
  all	
  the	
  puddings;	
  also	
  his	
  relatives	
  sponsored	
  a	
  total	
  of	
  RM650.	
  
Yincy’s	
  mother	
  sponsored	
  a	
  total	
  of	
  RM100	
  for	
  the	
  decorations	
  and	
  another	
  RM300	
  for	
  the	
  
tarts.	
  Then,	
  Schani	
  and	
  his	
  mother	
  sponsored	
  the	
  chocolate	
  chip	
  cookies	
  and	
  also	
  another	
  
RM300	
  for	
  the	
  tarts.	
  	
  Simpson’s	
  uncle	
  sponsored	
  RM300	
  for	
  the	
  tarts.	
  And	
  lastly,	
  Sze	
  Ming’s	
  
father	
  sponsored	
  all	
  the	
  muffins	
  that	
  we	
  sold,	
  including	
  the	
  transportation	
  fees.	
  All	
  
monetary	
  sponsorships	
  were	
  done	
  in	
  the	
  form	
  of	
  cash.	
  	
  
d)	
  We	
  have	
  to	
  send	
  our	
  official	
  sponsorship	
  letter	
  with	
  the	
  Taylor’s	
  letterhead	
  to	
  the	
  two	
  
corporate.	
  They	
  agreed	
  to	
  sponsor	
  quite	
  a	
  large	
  sum	
  of	
  money	
  for	
  our	
  group,	
  however	
  the	
  
whole	
  process	
  would	
  take	
  about	
  3	
  to	
  4	
  months	
  time,	
  and	
  we	
  do	
  have	
  the	
  privilege	
  of	
  time.	
  	
  
Unfortunately,	
  we	
  have	
  to	
  abort	
  both	
  sponsorships.	
  Then,	
  for	
  our	
  relatives	
  wise,	
  some	
  of	
  us	
  
talk	
  to	
  them	
  through	
  phone	
  calls,	
  and	
  some	
  of	
  us	
  asked	
  for	
  sponsorship	
  in	
  face-­‐to-­‐face	
  
conversation.	
  
K.	
  Human	
  Resource	
  Planning	
  
For	
  our	
  group,	
  Jason	
  was	
  voted	
  the	
  project	
  manager,	
  Schani	
  was	
  the	
  accountant,	
  Yincy	
  was	
  
in-­‐charge	
  of	
  the	
  advertising,	
  Simpson	
  and	
  Sze	
  Ming	
  were	
  given	
  the	
  roles	
  of	
  Sales	
  and	
  
Marketing	
  supervisors	
  respectively.	
  However,	
  all	
  of	
  us	
  helped	
  in	
  promoting	
  and	
  selling	
  our	
  
products.	
  Jason	
  did	
  a	
  good	
  job	
  of	
  organising	
  us	
  as	
  a	
  team,	
  by	
  teaching	
  us	
  what	
  to	
  do	
  so	
  that	
  
we	
  can	
  sell	
  off	
  our	
  products	
  quickly.	
  Also,	
  with	
  the	
  tips	
  given	
  by	
  Mr.Jo,	
  our	
  sales	
  increased	
  in	
  
a	
  faster	
  rate.	
  We	
  distributed	
  our	
  jobs	
  equally,	
  so	
  when	
  for	
  example	
  Simpson	
  and	
  Schani	
  
were	
  selling	
  the	
  products	
  in	
  the	
  office,	
  the	
  other	
  3	
  will	
  be	
  looking	
  after	
  the	
  booth	
  and	
  vice	
  
versa.	
  	
  
	
  
I.	
  Distribution	
  
a)	
  We	
  used	
  a	
  vehicle	
  (car)	
  that	
  was	
  possessed	
  by	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  group	
  mates	
  to	
  drive	
  from	
  the	
  
suppliers	
  around	
  Klang	
  Valley	
  and	
  to	
  transport	
  it	
  back	
  to	
  campus.	
  This	
  was	
  highly	
  efficient	
  
and	
  productive.	
  There	
  was	
  no	
  lag	
  time	
  and	
  we	
  always	
  opened	
  out	
  stall	
  in	
  advance.	
  
b)	
  During	
  instance	
  of	
  bulk	
  selling,	
  we	
  encountered	
  customers	
  that	
  dwell	
  in	
  KL,	
  and	
  then	
  we	
  
had	
  to	
  transport	
  the	
  mass	
  order	
  of	
  chicken	
  floss	
  there.	
  We	
  did	
  this	
  on	
  time	
  and	
  in	
  sync	
  with	
  
our	
  stall	
  opening	
  and	
  closing	
  timing.	
  Furthermore	
  we	
  took	
  turns	
  doing	
  different	
  tasks	
  at	
  the	
  
booth	
  this	
  made	
  do	
  the	
  diverse	
  tasks	
  easier.	
  
c)	
  An	
  average	
  number	
  of	
  customers	
  were	
  actually	
  approached	
  and	
  during	
  peak	
  hours,	
  all	
  
members	
  were	
  at	
  the	
  booth	
  to	
  deal	
  with	
  the	
  large	
  number	
  of	
  people.	
  However	
  during	
  less	
  
stressful	
  hours,	
  we	
  were	
  able	
  to	
  walk	
  around	
  to	
  the	
  staff	
  rooms,	
  lecture	
  halls	
  as	
  well	
  as	
  the	
  
commercial	
  block	
  to	
  sell	
  ours	
  products.	
  
d)	
  A	
  method	
  used	
  by	
  our	
  booth,	
  was	
  through	
  promotion	
  using	
  close	
  friends,	
  as	
  well	
  the	
  
social	
  media	
  such	
  as	
  whatsapp,	
  this	
  was	
  our	
  means	
  of	
  communication	
  with	
  any	
  of	
  the	
  
customers	
  that	
  wished	
  to	
  order	
  from	
  us	
  or	
  inquire	
  about	
  when	
  our	
  booth	
  would	
  be	
  open	
  
next,	
  etc.	
  
	
  
 
	
  
J.	
  Green	
  measures	
  
The	
  products	
  that	
  we	
  had	
  chosen	
  as	
  following:	
  	
  
A) Longan	
  Pudding:	
  We	
  totally	
  made	
  it	
  by	
  our	
  own	
  so	
  it	
  considers	
  as	
  an	
  environmentally	
  
product	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  gives	
  any	
  effects	
  to	
  our	
  environment.	
  	
  
B) Chocolate	
  chip	
  cookies:	
  The	
  ingredients	
  that	
  we	
  bought	
  in	
  making	
  the	
  cookies	
  were	
  
Hershey	
  chocolate	
  chip	
  that	
  made	
  by	
  their	
  own	
  specific	
  factories.	
  So	
  it	
  considers	
  as	
  
un-­‐environmentally	
  product	
  so	
  we	
  reuse	
  and	
  recycle	
  the	
  empty	
  bottles	
  to	
  reduce	
  its	
  
hazardous	
  effects.	
  
C) 	
  Muffin:	
  Muffin	
  was	
  the	
  main	
  product	
  that	
  we	
  sold	
  for	
  the	
  charity	
  drive	
  that	
  
sponsored	
  by	
  the	
  Bake	
  and	
  Brew	
  Cafe.	
  As	
  it	
  made	
  by	
  machines	
  that	
  release	
  smokes	
  
to	
  the	
  environment	
  so	
  it	
  considers	
  as	
  un-­‐environmentally	
  product.	
  We	
  had	
  recycle	
  
the	
  packaging	
  box	
  for	
  the	
  environmentally	
  purpose.	
  	
  
D) Chicken	
  Floss	
  Tart:	
  Is	
  homemade	
  by	
  Simpson’s	
  aunt	
  so	
  it	
  consider	
  as	
  an	
  
environmentally	
  product	
  
B)	
  Packaging:	
  
A) Longan	
  Pudding:	
  The	
  packaging	
  of	
  the	
  Longan	
  Pudding	
  was	
  made	
  by	
  the	
  plastic,	
  
which	
  can	
  be	
  reused	
  and	
  recycled.	
  
B) Chocolate	
  chip	
  cookies:	
  The	
  packaging	
  of	
  the	
  chocolate	
  chip	
  cookies	
  was	
  the	
  plastic,	
  
which	
  can	
  be	
  reused	
  and	
  recycled.	
  	
  
C) Muffin:	
  The	
  packaging	
  of	
  the	
  muffin	
  was	
  made	
  by	
  the	
  plastic,	
  which	
  can	
  be	
  reused	
  or	
  
recycled.	
  	
  
D) Chicken	
  Floss	
  tart:	
  The	
  packaging	
  of	
  the	
  tart	
  is	
  also	
  made	
  by	
  plastic	
  so	
  is	
  also	
  consider	
  
reusable.	
  
C)	
  Carbon	
  footprint	
  	
  
• Use	
  ice	
  box	
  instead	
  of	
  refrigerator	
  to	
  save	
  electricity	
  	
  
• Reuse	
  the	
  plastic	
  cups	
  and	
  spoons	
  
D)	
  Product’s	
  waste	
  	
  
We	
  had	
  collected	
  mostly	
  of	
  the	
  products’	
  waste	
  after	
  finished	
  by	
  the	
  customers	
  in	
  a	
  
big	
  plastic	
  bag.	
  The	
  products’	
  waste	
  that	
  we	
  had	
  collected	
  included	
  plastic	
  cups,	
  and	
  
plastic	
  spoons.	
  After	
  that,	
  we	
  threw	
  the	
  entire	
  product’s	
  waste	
  into	
  the	
  recycle	
  bin	
  in	
  
Taylor’s	
  University	
  to	
  be	
  recycled.	
  
	
  
E)	
  Reduce	
  the	
  consumption	
  of	
  resource	
  
Other	
  than	
  that,	
  our	
  group	
  is	
  pretty	
  much	
  environmentally	
  friendly.	
  We	
  take	
  this	
  
chance	
  to	
  reduce	
  the	
  consumption	
  of	
  resources	
  like	
  paper,	
  water	
  and	
  electricity	
  as	
  
we	
  used	
  recycle	
  paper	
  for	
  the	
  decorations	
  and	
  etc.,	
  and	
  we	
  kept	
  the	
  water	
  in	
  our	
  
icebox	
  clean	
  so	
  we	
  don’t	
  have	
  to	
  change	
  it	
  many	
  times.

Business Final Report

  • 1.                 Schani  Daniel  Bharat   Teoh  Sze  Ming   Nge  Jia  Chen   Tan  Yincy   Simpson  Chin         SCHOOL  OF  ARCHITECTURE,  BUILDING  &  DESIGN   Foundation  of  Natural  Build  Environment  (FNBE)                 Introduction  to  Business  [BUS30104]   Submission  date  –  28th  November  2014                
  • 2. B.  Objectives   a)  For  this  particular  charity  drive  we  have  decided  to  donate  our  earning  to  the  ‘World   Vision’  organization.  We  have  chosen  this  particular  organization,  because  poverty  has  been   one  of  the  longest  problems  that  the  world  has  faced.  We  felt  as  though  it  would  be  the   most  appropriate  cause  to  support  as  everyday  we  see  how  much  food  is  wasted,  by  our   selves  and  the  ones  around  us.     b)  Our  aim  and  target  to  donate  towards  the  organization  was  RM  2500,  which  would  mean   almost  90%  of  target  sales  had  to  be  met,  before  even  thinking  about  achieving  that  target.   c)    http://youtu.be/yV2eBGqv0MM   C.  Target  Market   a)  The  Malaysian  community  consists  of  mainly  3  different  races,  Chinese,  Indian  &  Malay.   Amongst  these  races  the  cultural  differences  are  in  ample  amounts,  in  terms  of  religion  and   way  of  lives.  Furthermore  majority  of  the  students  in  Taylors  are  of  Chinese  origins   (Buddhists  and  Christians),  followed  by  Malays  (Islam)  and  then  Indians  (Christians  and   Hindus).  Assuming  that  even  though  various  nationalities  of  students  attend  Taylors  a   generalized  assumption  can  be  made,  that  most  of  the  student  that  study  at  Taylors   University  are  of  a  middle  or  upper  stage  of  the  socio  economic  scale.  Thus  would  be   financially  stable  to  afford  the  products  that  would  be  sold.    Majority  of  Malaysians  enjoy   eating,  the  diversity  and  availability  in  the  various  types  of  food  sources  that  solidify  the   consensus  that  eating  is  the  number  one  infatuation  that  all  Malaysians  share.   Due  to  the  different  cultural  backgrounds  and  exposure,  this  would  then  mean,  the  type  of   products  being  sold  would  not  only  need  to  satisfy  their  common  needs,  but  also  connect  to   them  in  a  particular  sense  as  well.  However,  having  students,  as  primary  targets  would   imply  that  they  would  be  more  open  and  less  reluctant  to  more  westernize  products.   b)  Cheap  is  the  word  that  stands  out  when  thinking  about  the  masses  in  Malaysia,  this  is   probably  the  most  common  stereotype  that  is  evident  amongst  the  peoples?  Anything  that   is  cheap  is  right,  no  two  ways  about  it.  The  demand  and  supply  that  comes  of  the  lesser   option  is  generally  most  popular.  Other  than  the  obvious  needs  and  wants  that  are  of  basic   clarity.    The  demand  for  products  that  possess  a  great  quality  is  also  a  massive  subjectivity   amongst  the  Malaysians.     c)  Spending  power  is  specific  to  the  area  we  are  planning  to  sell  at,  in  this  instance  the   prescribed  area  would  be  Taylors  University.  Based  on  this  evaluation  and  the  observation   of  the  functions  of  the  commercial  block,  we  noticed  that  students  are  willing  to  spend  a   minimum  average  of  thirty-­‐five  ringgit,  a  day.  Based  on  the  pricing  of  the  various  restaurants  
  • 3. around  the  campus,  we  deducted  that  out  of  all  the  restaurants;  the  ‘Mamak’  would  be  the   most  cheapest,  it’s  a  fall  back  restaurant  when  students  or  lecturers  are  tight  or  low  on  cash.     Furthermore  the  lecturers  at  Taylors  can  be  seen,  as  top  of  the  spending  chain,  due  to  the   status  of  possessing  a  job,  hence  would  demean  the  greater  and  less  stressful  availability  of   spending  power.       D.  Competition  analysis   Two  main  competitors  would  be  the  businesses  that  are  actually  selling  products  or   distributing  services  that  are  totally  different  as  compared  to  our  products.  The  stall  next  to   us  were  sponsored  massively,  as  they  possessed  a  Coco  Cola  machine  as  well  an  ice  cream   dispenser.  This  would  already  prove  to  be  super  useful  resources  in  the  long  term.  As  the   amount  of  profit  they  made  and  the  customers  they  would  attract  would  be  of  a  wider  base,   due  the  humid/  hot  climate  that  Malaysia  possesses,  it  would  mean,  people  would   automatically  seek,  a  cold  beverage  or  a  cold  dessert  to  sooth  their  warm  conditions.   The  other  group,  that  proved  to  be  a  ‘threat’  would  be  the  group  that  was  offering  other   services  that  neither  of  the  other  groups  possessed,  the  availability  of  ‘henna’  a  form  of  non   permanent  tattooing  that  is  greatly  popular  amongst  teenagers.  This  would  mean,  that  their   target  market  would  be  more  specific  to  girls,  and  shockingly  a  large  number  of  boys  now   too,  as  they’re  more  willing  to  try  new  things.     However  I  felt  like  due  to  the  fact  that  both  booth  had  more  resources  and  different   services  compared  to  us,  it  also  meant  that,  no  other  groups  actually  sold  what  we  did,   which  were  chicken  floss  tarts,  longan  pudding,  unique  muffins  and  chocolate  chip  cookies.   Their  weaknesses  were  probably  how  they  weren’t  really  able  to  handle  large  number  of   customers  due  to  inexperienced  student  working  at  their  booths.       E.  Product  &  Packaging   For  the  products  of  our  charity  drive,  we  decided  to  sell  tarts,  muffins  and  puddings.  We   initially  thought  of  selling  more  items  such  as  marshmallow  dips  and  drinks  but  we  cut  them   down  to  3  items  in  the  end  that  we  think  would  be  easier  and  could  get  more  respond  from   the  customers.          
  • 4. Products     Item  01  |  the  muffins  would  be  our  main  item  sponsored  by  Bake  &  Brew  café  from  Penang.   A   total   of   129   muffins   were   sponsored,   consisting   different   flavours   such   as   red   velvet,   chocolate  chips,  green  tea,  blueberry,  molten  chocolate  and  poppy  seed.  We  think  that  the     muffin  would  get  a  huge  respond  as  who  doesn’t  like  something  sweet  and  easy  to  grab  on   the  go?  And  indeed  it  turned  out  to  be  a  popular  item  at  our  stall.  It  received  a  pretty  good   respond  from  the  customers,  each  praising  the  flavour  and  the  sweetness  that  is  perfect  to   the  point.           Packaging   |   As   for   the   packaging   of   the   muffins,   they   were   individually   packed.   The   packaging  would  attract  customers  as  it  was  being  placed  in  a  transparent  small  packaging  
  • 5. bag,  which  shows  those  yummy  looking  muffins.  The  muffins  fit  the  bags  perfectly,  which   give  an  illusion  that  the  sizes  are  quite  huge.  It  also  looks  clean  and  decent  from  our  stall.       Item  02  |  the  chicken  floss  tarts  is  our  second  item.  One  of  our  group  mates,  Simpson  Chin   purchase  stocks  from  his  aunty  with  the  original  price.  It  is  basically  a  tart  with  chicken  floss   fillings.  We  think  that  customers  would  like  it  because  they  are  quite  special;  very  few   people  had  tried  it  before.  It  also  has  a  unique  look.  It  would  definitely  spark  up  passer-­‐by’s   interest.       Packaging  |  There  were  also  two  kinds  of  packaging  for  the  tarts.  For  those  that  are  going  to   be  sold  separately,  we  packed  4  tarts  in  a  bag.  It  was  packed  in  a  transparent  packaging  bag   like  how  the  muffins  were  packed.  As  for  the  second  packaging,  the  tarts  were  packed  in  a   bottle.  The  bottled  packaging’s  are  for  customers  whom  are  interested  to  buy  the  tarts  in  a   huge   and   cheaper   amount.     The   packaging   would   attract   customers   because   they   were   transparent   and   showcased   the   unique   and   appealing   appearance   of   the   tarts.   Potential   customers  would  be  curious  about  it  and  have  a  look  when  they  are  passing  by  our  stall.              
  • 6. Item  03  |  the  third  item,  homemade  puddings  sponsored  by  our  fellow  group  mate,  Jason   Nge.  The  puddings  are  longan  flavoured,  with  canned  longan  flesh  in  each  one  of  them.  We   think  that  customers  would  like  it,  as  it  was  chilled  and  lightly  packed,  absolutely  suitable  on   warm  weathered  days.  It  received  quite  a  lot  of  good  feedbacks  and  were  quite  popular  as  it   was  served  chilled  which  cooled  down  people’s  thirst.       Packaging  |  the  puddings  were  packed  in  a  really  simple  packaging  with  no  ornaments  to   bring  out  that  homemade  character.  The  packaging  was  a  transparent  small  container  so   that  customers  could  see  what  it  contains.  Although  it  is  not  fancy  looking  but  it  promoted  a   more  organic  look.           YOUTUBE  VIDEO  LINK:    http://youtu.be/KR4hWBNGygY  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtTKj12rXUU

Secondly,  we  did  face  to  face  conversations.  This  approach  showed  us  great  results  as  most   of  the  customers  do  not  know  what  products  we  were  selling.  By  conversing  with  the   lecturers,  the  students  and  some  of  our  friends,  they  got  to  know  what  we  were  actually   selling  and  adding  on  by  letting  them  try  our  samples,  they  bought  our  products  almost   instantaneously.     Other  than  these  two,  we  did  posters  as  well.  However,  it  was  not  as  effective  as  not  really  a   lot  of  people  were  paying  attention  to  the  boards  behind  us.     c)  We  have  chosen  the  two  main  strategies  because  we  thought  that  it  would  be  easier  if  we   just  communicate  with  our  customers  instead  of  letting  them  discover  us  by  themselves.  We   have  to  be  bold  and  not  be  afraid  of  rejection  in  order  for  the  two  strategies  to  work.  By   approaching  them  and  conversing  with  them,  it  made  them  feel  that  we  are  very  sincere  in   selling  our  products.  Then,  by  letting  the  customers  try  our  products,  it  helped  assuring  the   quality  of  our  product,  and  hence  customers  are  more  willing  to  spend  on  our  products.       H.  Sponsors   a)  For  sponsorship  wise,  we  approached  our  relatives  first,  and  then  we  tried  to  find   sponsorship  from  several  big  corporate  like  for  example  The  Great  Eastern  and   Permasteelisa.     b)  Our  relatives  were  very  enthusiastic  in  donating  some  amount  of  money.  We  targeted   them  because  we  know  them  personally  and  the  chances  of  them  donating  are  higher  than   other  business  groups.  Then,  we  targeted  the  2  big  corporate  because  some  of  our  relatives   are  working  inside  and  so  we  tried  our  luck.     c)  Jason’s  mother  sponsored  all  the  puddings;  also  his  relatives  sponsored  a  total  of  RM650.   Yincy’s  mother  sponsored  a  total  of  RM100  for  the  decorations  and  another  RM300  for  the   tarts.  Then,  Schani  and  his  mother  sponsored  the  chocolate  chip  cookies  and  also  another   RM300  for  the  tarts.    Simpson’s  uncle  sponsored  RM300  for  the  tarts.  And  lastly,  Sze  Ming’s   father  sponsored  all  the  muffins  that  we  sold,  including  the  transportation  fees.  All   monetary  sponsorships  were  done  in  the  form  of  cash.     d)  We  have  to  send  our  official  sponsorship  letter  with  the  Taylor’s  letterhead  to  the  two   corporate.  They  agreed  to  sponsor  quite  a  large  sum  of  money  for  our  group,  however  the   whole  process  would  take  about  3  to  4  months  time,  and  we  do  have  the  privilege  of  time.     Unfortunately,  we  have  to  abort  both  sponsorships.  Then,  for  our  relatives  wise,  some  of  us   talk  to  them  through  phone  calls,  and  some  of  us  asked  for  sponsorship  in  face-­‐to-­‐face   conversation.   K.  Human  Resource  Planning  
  • 9. For  our  group,  Jason  was  voted  the  project  manager,  Schani  was  the  accountant,  Yincy  was   in-­‐charge  of  the  advertising,  Simpson  and  Sze  Ming  were  given  the  roles  of  Sales  and   Marketing  supervisors  respectively.  However,  all  of  us  helped  in  promoting  and  selling  our   products.  Jason  did  a  good  job  of  organising  us  as  a  team,  by  teaching  us  what  to  do  so  that   we  can  sell  off  our  products  quickly.  Also,  with  the  tips  given  by  Mr.Jo,  our  sales  increased  in   a  faster  rate.  We  distributed  our  jobs  equally,  so  when  for  example  Simpson  and  Schani   were  selling  the  products  in  the  office,  the  other  3  will  be  looking  after  the  booth  and  vice   versa.       I.  Distribution   a)  We  used  a  vehicle  (car)  that  was  possessed  by  one  of  the  group  mates  to  drive  from  the   suppliers  around  Klang  Valley  and  to  transport  it  back  to  campus.  This  was  highly  efficient   and  productive.  There  was  no  lag  time  and  we  always  opened  out  stall  in  advance.   b)  During  instance  of  bulk  selling,  we  encountered  customers  that  dwell  in  KL,  and  then  we   had  to  transport  the  mass  order  of  chicken  floss  there.  We  did  this  on  time  and  in  sync  with   our  stall  opening  and  closing  timing.  Furthermore  we  took  turns  doing  different  tasks  at  the   booth  this  made  do  the  diverse  tasks  easier.   c)  An  average  number  of  customers  were  actually  approached  and  during  peak  hours,  all   members  were  at  the  booth  to  deal  with  the  large  number  of  people.  However  during  less   stressful  hours,  we  were  able  to  walk  around  to  the  staff  rooms,  lecture  halls  as  well  as  the   commercial  block  to  sell  ours  products.   d)  A  method  used  by  our  booth,  was  through  promotion  using  close  friends,  as  well  the   social  media  such  as  whatsapp,  this  was  our  means  of  communication  with  any  of  the   customers  that  wished  to  order  from  us  or  inquire  about  when  our  booth  would  be  open   next,  etc.    
  • 10.     J.  Green  measures   The  products  that  we  had  chosen  as  following:     A) Longan  Pudding:  We  totally  made  it  by  our  own  so  it  considers  as  an  environmentally   product  so  it  didn’t  gives  any  effects  to  our  environment.     B) Chocolate  chip  cookies:  The  ingredients  that  we  bought  in  making  the  cookies  were   Hershey  chocolate  chip  that  made  by  their  own  specific  factories.  So  it  considers  as   un-­‐environmentally  product  so  we  reuse  and  recycle  the  empty  bottles  to  reduce  its   hazardous  effects.   C)  Muffin:  Muffin  was  the  main  product  that  we  sold  for  the  charity  drive  that   sponsored  by  the  Bake  and  Brew  Cafe.  As  it  made  by  machines  that  release  smokes   to  the  environment  so  it  considers  as  un-­‐environmentally  product.  We  had  recycle   the  packaging  box  for  the  environmentally  purpose.     D) Chicken  Floss  Tart:  Is  homemade  by  Simpson’s  aunt  so  it  consider  as  an   environmentally  product   B)  Packaging:   A) Longan  Pudding:  The  packaging  of  the  Longan  Pudding  was  made  by  the  plastic,   which  can  be  reused  and  recycled.   B) Chocolate  chip  cookies:  The  packaging  of  the  chocolate  chip  cookies  was  the  plastic,   which  can  be  reused  and  recycled.     C) Muffin:  The  packaging  of  the  muffin  was  made  by  the  plastic,  which  can  be  reused  or   recycled.     D) Chicken  Floss  tart:  The  packaging  of  the  tart  is  also  made  by  plastic  so  is  also  consider   reusable.   C)  Carbon  footprint     • Use  ice  box  instead  of  refrigerator  to  save  electricity     • Reuse  the  plastic  cups  and  spoons   D)  Product’s  waste     We  had  collected  mostly  of  the  products’  waste  after  finished  by  the  customers  in  a   big  plastic  bag.  The  products’  waste  that  we  had  collected  included  plastic  cups,  and   plastic  spoons.  After  that,  we  threw  the  entire  product’s  waste  into  the  recycle  bin  in   Taylor’s  University  to  be  recycled.

E)  Reduce  the  consumption  of  resource   Other  than  that,  our  group  is  pretty  much  environmentally  friendly.  We  take  this   chance  to  reduce  the  consumption  of  resources  like  paper,  water  and  electricity  as   we  used  recycle  paper  for  the  decorations  and  etc.,  and  we  kept  the  water  in  our   icebox  clean  so  we  don’t  have  to  change  it  many  times.            Income  Statement  of  Group  8  (Jason)  Charity  Drive  Event                      Revenue          Sales         RM3,317.00   Less:  Cost  of  Goods  Sold       RM2,057.75   Gross  Profit         RM1,259.25   Add:  Donations  &  Sponsorship       RM1,971.00   Adjusted  Gross  Profit       RM3,230.25             Less:  Operating  Expenses        Promotional  Expenses     RM68.25      Stationary  Expenses   RM20.00      Typhoid  Vaccine  Injection   RM300.00                Total  Operating  Expenses       RM388.25            Net  Profit         RM2,842.00          Pudding   Muffin   Chicken  Floss  Cookies   Chocolate  Chip  Cookies   S.  Price   RM3.50   RM4.00   RM6.00   RM6.00   Units   142   180   295   55   Rev   RM497.00   RM720.00   RM1,770.00   RM330.00                         Pudding   Muffin   Chicken  Floss  Cookies   Chocolate  Chip   Cookies   C.  Price   RM0.25   RM2.90   RM4.75   RM1.80   Units   142   180   295   55   Rev   RM35.50   RM522.00   RM1,401.25   RM99.00
