Having a plan is crucial for business success, especially when establishing a new business. Writing a business plan helps outline the direction where the company is going, how the company will achieve its goals, and provides a method to measure the company‟s pursuit of these goals. Business plans can also help the entrepreneur(s) communicate to possible investors; authorities whom may need to approve of or regulate the business, interested co-founders, and future employees. The business plan should include a description of the service or product, market analysis, the short and long term goals of the business, and competitor analysis.

2. Assuming we should get a communication that is almost surely from an intelligent communication civilization, what should we do? Your text asks if we should transmit or just listen. What do you think the world as a whole should do in response to such a momentous finding? Write your own ideas, then respond to one or two of your classmates. This is pure opinion, but back up your thinking with reasoning, why do you think what you think about this?

Business Name: Fruitfit Company
The name of the company has been inspired by the core objectives that the business has to the customers. As the company is committed to providing healthy drinks which will serve as an alternative to commercialized high sugar beverages on the market. The company will provide non-alcoholic beverages based on fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Fruits will, however, make up the largest part of the business raw materials. The use of quality fruits to make healthy drinks has therefore inspired the name Fruitfit as the business name.
Mission Statement
Fruitfit Company is committed to providing healthy and achieve the highest level of satisfaction from our customers and build customer confidence in our products. At Fruitfit, we believe that what you put in your body matters a lot.
This mission statement is based on the mandate that the company has to its customers. Through the providing healthy beverages, the company will ensure that its customer's health matters concerns are taken care of. The responsibilities of the business are inspired by the recognition of living a healthy life by controlling what we consume.
Industry Trends
The global non-alcoholic beverage industry is estimated to be USD 967 billion. This is according to 2016 estimates done by market research studies. The industry is also expected to grow at an estimated rate of 5.7% through 2017-2025. This makes it a desirable business to venture into. In Thailand, the non-alcoholic beverage industry can be divided into the sectors of carbonated drinks, bottled water, fruit and vegetable drinks, performance drinks, energy drinks, and smoothies. The company will primarily operate in the fruit and vegetable drinks. This is especially a good time for the business as changes in the market have indicated that customers are shifting from carbonated drinks to healthy drinks (Helms & Nixon, 2010). As a result, the categories of drinks which offer health benefits to the customers are experiencing constant growth rates over time.
Strategic Position
In the order to properly position the company effectively in the market, the company will adopt a value-based positioning strategy. The company is committed to providing healthy drinks to customers. This comes at a time when the global market is becoming more conscious of the importance of healthy living. Fruitfit Company aims to provide healthy drinks which have been produced using quality raw materials. The company sources are raw materials from the local farmers whereby they are able to get the highest quality fruits and vegetables.
Distribution channels
As the company will be operating in an industry which has stiff competition, it will be necessary to ensure that the products of the company are brought as close to the customers as possible. As a result, the company will adopt a well-networked distribution channel which will ensure coverage of a wide geographical area. The company will have a central point of.

CEO
The mission of Knockout Shoes is to be recognized as a socially responsible company providing high quality shoes for the North American and Latin American markets.
The overall strategy of Knockout Shoes is focused differentiation while addressing socially responsible business practices. The decisions by operations, financing, and marketing support this strategy because we have limited all production to North America and Latin American. We have limited sales to Wholesale and Internet sales in North America and Latin America. We have purchased the contracts of Ophrah Beyonse, Tiger Green, and Jose Montana. We have engaged in green manufacturing practices. We have limited the number of models sold. We use high-quality materials in the manufacturing process. We have provided sufficient capital to sustain operations. We have provided a return to stockholders and to society.
VPO
We produce all of our shoes in North America and Latin America because this allows for better control over the manufacturing process and reduces the cost to ship shoes to the two target markets. We limited our models to 50 to maintain better control over the manufacturing process and to limit the costs for styling. We have set our superior material usage rate at 80% to ensure a high quality shoe. We use green materials. We have set the enhanced styling features to $20,000 per model to support the production of a shoe that is perceived to be high quality. We have invested in energy efficiency. We use recycled boxing materials. Our entire workforce has received ethics training, and we have a diverse workforce. We spend $2,000 per worker on Best Practices Training.
VPM
We have set our wholesale price at $60 and our internet price at $85 because the shoes are high quality shoes. We sell only in North America and Latin America. We do not allow internet sales outside of North America and Latin America. We have contracted with Ophrah Beyonse, Tiger Green, and Jose Montana because these three have the best celebrity appeal scores for our two markets. We do not provide for private label production because it does not support our strategy of focused differentiation. We have set our advertising budget at $10,000,000. We offer a $3 rebate as part of our advertising strategy. We are able to provide delivery within 1 week because most of our shoes are manufactured in the country in which they are sold. We have few shipments between North America and Latin America.
VPF
We have issued 100,000 shares of stock and secured a 10-year bank loan of $8,000,000 to finance operations. We declared a dividend of $.15 to provide a return to stockholders. We have plans to ensure that ROE is at least 15% per year. We have plans to ensure that our cost of pairs sold is no more than 53%. We have plans to ensure that our default risk is no more than Medium. We have committed 3% of pre-tax profits for charitable contributions.

Paradise Cookware’s branding, pricing, and distribution strategy.
Branding
Paradise Cookware’s branding is quite unique compared to the other company’s brand. The brand was created strategically to separate ourselves from every other company in the market. The words “paradise Cookware “are written in very colorful lettering. Each letter is enhanced by a palm tree. On the background of the letters are smiling chefs. This branding is meant to bring out the user-friendly nature of this company, whose motto is to be very attractive, safe, user friendly, and the best cookware in the marketplace. Definitely this branding has made Paradise Cookware unique from the rest of the cookware companies (Nicholas, 2004).
Pricing
Paradise Cookware’s products are priced at 5% lower compared to the competition, with the exception of personalized orders. The customers of Paradise Cookware not only enjoy excellent quality products, they also enjoy lower prices compared to the competition. The average whole sale prices for the cookware are usually lower compared to the retail prices. The price difference of the wholesale and retail is about 20%. The customers buying retail still enjoy the combination of quality and price savings, especially when they buy many products because of the discounts they get. Paradise Cookware uses a multiplier of 3.0 on the variable cost of every item in order to come up with the retail price. When the company prepares a quotation or a bid, there will be a total retail price for all items. Paradise Cookware writes its quotation for the clients depending on
the discounts they have received. This means prices quoted on the bids can vary depending on the discounts received.
Distribution Strategy
Paradise Cookware basically deals with designing and producing cookware. Their target market is North American, considering the Company is situated in USA and Canada and the product is designed with the culture in mind. However, we do plan on expanding, especially with on line sales. The company’s products are distributed all over the world. We manufacture roasting pans, fry pans, sauce pans, stock pots, Copper core pan sets, and glass pan lids. We have clients beyond just individual customers; we also cater to corporate clients. As mentioned, we have online markets where people buy online and have the products delivered to their door. The company has sales people in all their branches all over the US & Canada. The number of salespeople depends on size of the stores. On average the number of sale people in every stores vary between 7 -10 (Shane, 2007).
Company’s major competitors as inter- or intra-competitors.
Paradise Cookware has one major competitor, Cookware Moms’ Company. This company has for decades been manufacturing elegant and sophi.

Company and its significance
The company in question is Steel Nutri-drink Non-Alcoholic Beverage Company. The company will be manufacturing, processing and distributing the non-alcoholic beverage to the beverage markets. The rationale and foundation behind the creation, manufacturing and processing of the Steel Nutri-drinkis based on the motivation and need to provide a drink that gives the customer value for their money, instantaneous energy, is refreshing and still healthy. Other companies operating in the market have not managed to satisfy these needs of consumers. This is based on the fact that other drinks contain a lot of calories and sugars that may lead to obesity and other related health complications and are also costly at the same time. All areas that other competitors have not tapped into will be fully taken care of by Steel Nutri-drink.
Mission Statement
The mission statement for the company is “To be a global leader in the provision of efficient and timely energy drinks for all our customers, provide value for their money and achieve sustainability for the environment and all our workers.” The mission statement enables the company to remain focused and committed to achieving its goals and achieve consumer satisfaction. This will also enable it work towards maintaining the competitive edge in the highly competitive beverage markets. The provision of efficient and timely energy drinks gives the company direction. This reminds workers in the organization why the company is in existence. This is what will make the organization to be successful. Offering customers value will act as a “North Star,” which keeps each and every worker clear on the direction of Steel Nutri drink. Efficiency and value will help focus the future of the company. The mission will tell workers of the company what they are doing today as well as what they will do in the future.
The trends in the non-alcoholic beverage industry
There are some changes that are being experienced in the beverage market. Among the changes is the growth of energy, water, and sports drinks brands. Directing attention to only carbonated drinks is now a thing of the past. Much effort by organizations is directed towards producing and selling healthy beverages (Granato, Branco, Nazzaro, Cruz, & Faria, 2010). The other trend is reworking recipes. Most brands that have been in market for a long time now have to be reformulated. They have to be replaced with revamped version as well as have few calories. Also, there is a shift towards having smaller cans and bottles. Having smaller cans and bottles makes the players in the non-alcoholic be ...
1. Project Phase II: Product Conceptual Design and Preliminary Product,
Market, and Business Strategy
1.) Executive Summary:
The work done in all 4 phases for our product can be broken up into four parts, our
refined conceptual design, writing our vision and mission statement, proposing what our business
goals will be, and the strategies we’ll execute to turn our product into reality.
Our vision and mission statement explained to potential VCs who’ll back us how we’ll
change the landscape of the college social scene while providing college students the chance to
be more responsible for their actions. We also defined the goal of our company is to become the
go-to product for getting over the hangover hump. The business goals we set out to make are
based on the percentage of market shares we hope to secure from industries such as vitamins and
nutrient-filled beverages.
When we refined our conceptual design, we sought to dissect product that were targeting
the same market. The two products that we ended up dissecting are Frat Boxes and Memebox’s
Hangover Box. We delve further looking at ways hangovers affect the body. What we discovered
is hangovers decrease blood sugar, dehydration, and decrease stomach acid and essential
nutrients. To counter these effects, we researched ways to increase blood sugar, hydrate the
body, and increase stomach acid and essential nutrients. We settled on a product that contains
ginger candy, gatorade powder, water, ramen soup, painkillers, and a shot glass.
For strategies, we began with our product strategy. We found out we needed to gather the
six products while also finding other resources to print out t-shirts and ads, deliver our products,
and how we could store them. In addition, for our market strategy, we determined that our
product would be most receptive to college students, thus we establish the 4 P’s for marketing to
them specifically. Furthermore, for business strategy, we mapped out that we have virtually no
rivals would be in our selected industry and thus, the barrier of entry is nonexistent, the power
suppliers and buyers have on our product is relatively high, especially for the buyer, and our
good is somewhat susceptible to substitutes. Lastly, we needed to map out our financial strategy.
This involved calculating all our expenses for marketing, production, and management, and our
revenue from selling the product. After totaling both sides for a present value, we crunch the
numbers to discover our net present value. Using these numbers, we came up with a reasonable
funding plan to venture capitalists, asking for a 1,000,000 initial investment. We evaluated our
company’s worth around 6 million pre-investment and 7 post while distributing 8 million shares,
each worth $0.83.

3.) Vision and Mission Statement: We, the college students attending the University of
California, Santa Cruz, have found that many of our peers suffer from the day-after drinking
maladies called hangovers on the weekends. Many of these students are much too sick or
lethargic to get up and buy items that would provide a cure for their hangovers or lack the
foresight to prepare themselves for the nights when they have a little too much to drink. Our
vision is to create a new college environment that has pride in being responsible while puking
their guts out: to develop a shortcut for this process and make hangover cures an ease through
our product called Intoxi-kit. The goal of this product is to help remedy the effects of hangovers
in college students through providing a subscription service that sells boxes or baskets of goods
that aid in curing a hangover. Our mission is to be the primary provider and number one
recognizable hangover relief service for incoming college students and a staple of the college life
party scene. We believe our competitive edge of being the first company to fully delve into this
unknown market will spell success for our mission and business goals.

● Remedies the effects of hangover
Benefits:
● Most of the items are items that can be found in nature
● Convenience
● Receive a shot glass on first subscription
Challenges:
● Keeping costs low
● Making sure food does not arrive to the consumer spoiled
● In a box; the size of a laptop
● Marketed to college students
● Within product: Gatorade powder, water, ginger candy, ramen soup, pain reliever,
mints, alka seltzer, Shot glass on first subscription
● 5-7 items max
● Subscription service will be on a quarterly subscription basis, rather than a yearly
basis. The Summer quarter would be the down-time for the company, we’d
probably want to end our fiscal year at the end of every july.
● We will contact convenience stores on college campuses to supply an
aesthetically pleasing version of our product with a business code inside that
advertises our subscription service. Our goal will be to offer our product in these
stores at a convenient price, but make it cost enough that people are getting a deal
by subscribing, as well as providing a good enough product that people WANT to
subscribe. In these convenience stores, there will be a lot of competition with junk
food and gatorade to provide hangover relief so we only want to reiterate that our
product would have to look like a better solution by a decent margin.
● With things like midterms and finals weeks, quarter students wouldn’t be able to
go all out at parties at least 3 out of the 10 weeks. This subscription can help ease
their mind that they can.
● Like how multiple people can share a netflix account, the idea that college
students will probably try and share subscription accounts intoxi-kit should be
expected too.
● So for people who experience one night stands or plan to crash at someone else’s
place when they go out to party (which happens a lot especially when you binge
drink and unexpectedly blackout when you weren’t planning on it) our product
should be optimized for easy transport capabilities. A lot of our friends go to other
campuses to party without too much foresight for what they need to bring,
7. especially if we have a fraternity chapter house at that school. These boxes can be
a valuable solution for that possibility
5b.) Market Strategy
4 P’s: College Students
1. Product: College students want a service that provides vitamin-filled drinks, something to
freshen their mouth, food to rejuvenate their energy and get them energized when they
wake up. Most of all, college students want all of this in one convenient space.
2. Price: College students are willing to pay upwards of $10-$15 dollars for this service
3. Placement: College students will buy this service at retail stores like 7/11, Safeway,
campus health centers.
4. Promotion: The service will be promoted on social media, Spotify ads, and by campus
health centers.

F1) Rivalry Between Competitors Weak to Medium - weak brand identity
F2) Threat of New Entrants (Barriers to
Entry)
Strong - easy buy in for other companies,
bigger companies could provide lower costs
to drive a startup out of business
F3) Threat of Substitutes Medium - traditional hangover relief
F4) Buyer Power Strong - lots of individual buyers who will
take established price of normal hangover
relief
F5) Supplier Power Low to Medium - lots of suppliers
Our competitive strategy would be a combination of the differentiated strategy and the focus
strategy. Our service is incredibly unique. No big name company or startup company has put in
enough force to launch this service onto the market. If we focus on delivering this service to a
niche subset of the population, college students, we can obtain a large amount of the market
shares easily.
F1) Rival competitors for intoxi-kit have nearly zero brand recognition comparatively to what
our business would be trying to provide. Some of these rival competitors include individual item
sellers that have products that would be in the kit but there are relatively no competitors in the
exact market for which we are planning on selling to as a bulk subscription service. Only one
company that offers hangover kits targets the demographic of individuals looking to use them as
party favors for events like bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, or other party events. Our
subscription service is designed to build a customer loyalty program that trumps competitors
from going back to their original hangover problem solutions.
F2) A company can easy follow in our footsteps and create their own startup, geared towards
creating a subscription hangover kit because of several factors including that it’s relatively
inexpensive to put together a kit and therefore, is less expensive to enter the industry. However,
our unique brand identity would make it so that this threat has a weaker force unless the
company decides on product diversification. If an established company sees this service has
merit and profitability, they can easily bypass the years spent by us building an image and sell
the same service at a lower price, undercutting us and drive us out of our own market.
9. F3) Our service is generic and the items in the kit are what you can buy from any grocery or
convenience store. Within the kit itself, there are many substitutes for products that exist and
may be assembled differently in competitors’ kits with cost changeability in each. Overall, this
is an average force since our goal is to provide hangover relief through high quality and effective
products within a kit.
F4) Our service plans to target college students who drink excessively and still have a remedy
whenever they wake up the next day. The force of buyer power is strong when it comes to
consumers since they have the power to choose whether or not they want items in a bulk like the
one from our subscription service, of simply from buying individual items at a convenience store
like most people. Buyer power is also a large force because our company depends on consumers
to purchase our service in order to operate so the number of consumers is a big factor in
operating as well as price sensitivity. Once a consumer feels as though there isn’t use for the
price of a bulk package, there’s a possibility the consumer could drop the subscription all
together to forgo paying costs and therefore, buyer choice is a large force.
F5) In terms of an effective supply chain management for our company, we would source our
products from places that normally do sell the individual items that are in our kits, in bulk such
as Costco. In terms of the company, we have plenty of options for who we can choose as our
supplier. Any general store within a college campus with decent foot traffic is an ideal supplier.
We also have the additional options of on-campus stores and health centers since although we’re
advertising to a broad market, our target is to college students.
