Entrepreneurs plays a vital role in the growth of economy as they are regarded as an
individual who exercise initiative by organising a venture to take benefit of an opportunity and
as the decision maker, decides what, how in order to accomplish organisational goal in an
effective an efficient manner. However, entrepreneurial spirit is defined by innovation and risk
taking as well as it is an essential part of nation's ability to succeed in a n ever changing and
increasingly competitive global marketplace (Alvarez and Barney, 2010). Despite the broad
term of opportunity, there is a accord that a successful entrepreneurial opportunity is one which
trigger new venture creation or expand market share of existing venture. This report is based
upon introducing a new coffee venture which will made using organic ingredients to target health
conscious customers. Along with this, developing a business ides, Drucker's 7 model has been
applied for analysing possible sources for new and innovation business idea, competitor analysis
is applied to examine the competitive marketplace. Finally, to identify market potentiality
various range of sources has been implied is also mentioned here.
MAIN BODY
1. Background information about those sources that inspired your idea and what motivated you
personally in wishing to set up your own business.
Entrepreneurial opportunity is recognized as creativity based process as it is an activity
which employs a creative thinking i. e. thinking out of box in order to analyses or identify
business opportunity and challenges for attaining high productivity and profitability. However, in
order to sustain in a competitive market, an productive or impressive strategy or ideas helps the
firm to attain profit maximization. In context to new venture i. e. Coffee World is mainly focus
to capture high level of customer satisfaction by delivering best quality of products. In order to
survive in the market, an efficiency is doing right things and at the same time effectiveness is
implying the accurate things (Ananth, Ramesh and Prabaharan, 2010). In present scenario of
world, every individual has high level of stress in professional and personal life so in order to
lead a happy life they prefer to have a cup of coffee. This is the main motivation behind
establishing a new venture i. e. Coffee World. However, creativity and innovation have a pivotal
role as a source of entrepreneurial opportunity and thus it help in the existence of entrepreneurial
venture. Thus, Peter Drucker's (Father of management) believes in ensuring business focus on

doing right things for this an organization should be flexible in nature and make use of business
opportunities and identify challenges or threat in order to gain competitive advantage. So,
Coffee world implies Drucker's 7 key sources of opportunity for innovation for accomplishing
their profit margin and sustainability in market. The Drucker's 7 ways are as follows:
The Unexpected:The business world is full of surprises where not only the unexpected
failure but also the unpredictable success that comes to an organization serve as a great source of
inspiration for innovation (Calhoun and et. al., 2010). Both, unexpected failures and success
should stay unnoticed and neither overlooked as an opportunities for change. Thus, unanticipated
situations is a powerful element tool in Coffee World as it inspire their managers to get another
perspective on situation (it can be positive or negative) and help them to take advantage of
possibility that emerge.
Industry and Market Disparities : These two components i. e. industry and market which
is dynamic in nature as it keeps on changing along with the advancement of technology and this
creates challenge to company in attain productivity. Hence, Coffee World leaders needs to keep
an eye on the changes in marketplace and treat those occurrence not as threat but more like
opportunity to grow.
Incongruities : Developing appropriate research to determine target customers plays a
crucial role in the growth of business on the other hand unproductive research leads to drastic
failure of company. Thus, Coffee world should take initiative to determine incongruity by
collecting customer reviews, feedback and complaints in order to accomplish higher level of
efficiency.
Process Vulnerabilities : This source is more task focused rather than situation centered.
In this company analyses their potentiality in order to survive in industry for longer period of
time. However, Coffee World identifies their strength and weakness in order to create more
effective and innovative solutions (Eckhardt, 2013).
Demographic shifts: Companies are influenced in one way or another by the change of
demographics and these modification affect markets by determining the demand of product in
terms of type of customers and quantities of product are consider. Therefore, Coffee world
manages business opportunities by satisfying the customers or demographic factor such as age,
education, employment etc. in obtaining high proficiency.

Changes in perception : This source changes over time, and nowadays, due to the
involvement of technology and the power of social network affect customers perception and also
impact firm's efficiency. Thus, Coffee world adapt this changes in perception as a possibility to
grow because it serve as an open road for business to innovate, develop new products and
services that help in meeting out the perspective of customers.
New knowledge: This is often used as byword for innovation at the same time
technology and scientific breakthrough also cannot be overlooked by business. Therefore, Coffee
World can apply new knowledge in every aspect of company as they can acquire latest and
creative ideas or views which allow them to accomplish profit maximization (Fuentes and et. al.,
2010).
From the above stated sources of innovation, Coffee World can enrich their productivity
by implementing impressive and innovative technology or ideas in business operation.
2. An introduction to your business idea and what it is, and who and where your potential
customers and target audience are
Entrepreneurial activity is an important element for generating economic growth as it
contributes to the creation of new products and services. Along with this, in order to obtain high
level of efficiency, company should have an impressive and creative business idea which guides
or directs them to accomplish their organizational goal in an effective and efficient manner.
However, business idea is a starting point or initial stage for any current or future entrepreneurs.
This is an essential component because it is the beginning of new life of a business or an
entrepreneur. Hence, business idea is a concept which act as the major source for financial gain
which is usually centered on product or service that is offered for money. Furthermore, it help
company in several ways and it generate many benefits like innovative ideas, different groups of
people, flexibility, uniqueness etc. But, an idea is important only in initial stage of start up. The
results from good business ideas impact in all phases of development of firm, but also in large
part depend on other entrepreneurial activities. In context to Coffee World , they develops a
business idea which helps them to identify their capability as well as can ascertain their potential
customer in order to gain high level of proficiency and efficiency. The business idea of Coffee
World are as follows:
Coffee World profile

demand and competition of innovative technology among industry which impact the productivity
of business operation and function (Sarasvathy and et. al., 2010). Along with this, UK
population is highly conscious about their health which enable them to introduce a new venture
which is highly focus on maintaining a better relationship between company and customer and

3. A competitor analysis that looks at the competitive marketplace. Look at failures and
successes. What you can do differently? Is this a growth area with low and medium risk?
A competitive analysis play a crucial role in company's marketing plan as it help them to
evaluate their current strategy and enable them to establish products and service unique. As
well as allow them to adopt impressive attributes in order to attract the attention of target
market. However, competitive analysis means assessing and analyzing comparative strength and
weakness of competitors which include current and potential goods or services development and

marketing strategies. However, the current scenario of UK market every population is in
tendency to drink coffee which create a best opportunity for existing company to grow as well as
for new venture to build their position among competitors. Along with this, there is a high trend
of having a coffee shop in every office block as they believes that coffee shop becomes a social
hub where people socialize , work, meet tinder dates and so on (Renko and et. al., 2015). Thus,
this existing demand and desire of UK population created a platform for Coffee World to grow
and enhance their productivity by delivering best and organic product or services. Along with
this, UK market contains high level of competition or there is high degree of rivalry among
competitors which impact the business operation of Coffee World. Some of the competitors in
UK market are Costa, Caffe Nero, etc. which becomes the threat to Coffee World business
function (Is the UK reaching coffee shop saturation point?, 2017). Furthermore, health conscious
customers are arising in UK day by day which is one of the biggest way for Coffee World to
enhance its productivity and profitability. They produce their product in a best quality and in an
affordable price which improves the morale and enrich their satisfaction level towards company.
However, Coffee World's new flavor i. e organic coffee itself is a unique product as it not only
use for drinking purpose but it also can use as a scrub for facial purpose which is the easiest way
for them to attract customers. By this strategy, Coffee World can gain competitive advantage and
can capture the market effectively an efficiently. The SWOT analysis of competitors in UK
coffee sector are s follows:

4. Gap analysis and how you are looking to close the gaps. What is the situation now and what is
the future? What are the objectives of this business idea and how do you wish to achieve
them?
Gap analysis is a method of assessing differences in performance between business
information system to determine whether business requirements are being met and if not what
steps should be taken to ensure they are met successfully (Yuan, 2013). However, gap signifies
the space between where the business are (present state) and where the firm wants to be (target
state). Thus, gap analysis is also referred as a need analysis and assessment or need gap analysis.
As, Coffee World is new comer or newly establish venture in UK market whose main focus on
health conscious people in order to keep them safe and healthy. Their main objective is to attain
high profitability by delivering best quality of product and services. Moreover, thereby adding
more flavor in coffee in order to become the best choice for customer. However, there are several
tools of gap analysis which enable the company to examine their potentiality for achieving
business goals or objectives. Coffee World adopt McKinsey model to analyses their capability to
grow in a competitive world. McKinsey 7S element is classified into two groups i.e. hard
element which is tangible and they can be controlled on the other hand soft element that is
intangible as they cannot be controlled by company. Hard element are strategy, structure, system
whereas soft are shared value, style, staff, skills. The McKinsey 7S for Coffee World are as
follows:
Strategy: It is a plan which is developed by company to accomplish sustained
competitive advantage and successfully compete in market. However, Coffee World should
create sound strategy about marketing of their products with the aid of social media platforms

which have wide access in respect of the different consumers. This helps in achieving business
goal and it is reinforced by strong vision and mission or values (Hills and Hultman, 2013).
Structure: It represent the way business divisions and units are organized and include
information of who is accountable to whom. Thus, Coffee World follow an effective
organizational structure in order to reduce conflicts or disputes among employees. Coffee World
adapts flat structure as this will help to improve communication.
System: It is the process and procedure of company which reveals business daily
activities and help them in decision making. Therefore, Coffee World put their main focus on
organizational change and determine the potentiality of each employees for obtaining business
goals (Morris and et. al., 2012). Here, main aspect is about innovation in the taste and process of
marketing. This will help to brought changes in the old aspects and help to bring new trends.
Shared value: It states the norms and standards which helps in guiding and controlling
the business function effectively. Hence, Coffee World sets fair and unbiased standards and
principles which enable the employees to maintain working culture and improves their morale. In
this regard, they follow government policies and legislation which help to improve their
standards.
Staff : They are the foremost element in organization as it is concerned with what type
and how employees be recruited or hired, trained or rewarded. Thus, Coffee World adapt an
impressive strategy like social media, conducting job fare etc. to recruit the talented or skilled
workforce for attaining high productivity and profitability.
Skills : It is the abilities which firm's employees performs within the premises as it
involve capabilities and competencies. However, Coffee World evaluate its subordinates
performance and provide them proper training program in order to develop their skills as well as
enhancing the company's brand value (Popp and Holt, 2013). Continuous appraisal of
performance method is adopted and the method of training which is used in known as simulation.
Style : It signifies the way organization is managed by top level managers for achieving
the high level of proficiency. However, Coffee World adapt democratic leadership style which
treats employees as best asset and involve them in business decision making and problem solving
process which enrich their morale effectively.

Porter's Five force analysis for Coffee World

It is one of the integral determinant for an organisation which help them to determine the
condition of an industry as well as analyse level of competition. However, the stronger
competitive force in an marketplace are the less profitable it is. Hence, Coffee World applies this
model into their business function to know the intensity of competition in an industry which is
given below:
Threat of new entrants:This approach in this coffee industry is high because there is a
less barriers for new enterprises which allows new firm to enter into marketplace easily. Along
with this, new entrants develops innovative ideas and strategies in order to capture the attention
of customers in a best possible manner.
Threat of substitutes:There is a several substitutes in coffee sector which directly impact
company's productivity and profitability. However, the threat of substitutes for Coffee World is
high because any modification in customer demand, it lead them to move to other brand which
decreases the Coffee World proficiency. In order to sustain in the market, Coffee World should
create novel ideas and strategies in order to improve their overall performance of company.
Bargaining power of supplier: Under this force, negotiation capability of an industry is
very low because suppliers in this industry contains less options to bargain regarding price of
product or service.
Bargaining power of buyer: This force in coffee industry is generally high because there
are large number of companies who offer similar kinds of product that provide customer to select
several options based on their taste and preference in order to gain high level of satisfaction.
Thus, Coffee World should build a better relationship with customers and offer various discounts
to attract more attention towards brand.
Rivalry among competitor:In coffee industry, there is high level of competition which
challenges Coffee World to obtain sustainability proficiency. Hence, Coffee Worlds should
implement innovative technologies in order to attain high productivity and gain competitive
advantage.
PESTLE Analysis
It is regarded as an analytical tool for a company that is used to identify key drivers of
change in the strategic environment in order to implement effective strategic decision. Hence,
Coffee World implies PESTLE analysis to examine its external factor which is described below:

Political:Political factor consists of tax policies, fiscal policy, trade tariffs etc. The
Coffee World was affected by the Brexit in different areas that are supply chain, manufacturing,
this was the result of changes occur in UK and EU legislation. The reduction in value of pound
provides both positive and negative benefit to Coffee World in respect of the outlets faced
increase in the cost due to reduced value of pound.
Economical: Economic factors consists of inflation rate, foreign exchange rate, economic
growth pattern etc. The Coffee World uses this analysis to analyse the performance of business
reflecting the strengths and weaknesses in respect of sale and profit earned.
Social: The social factors identifies the social environment and include factors that are
cultural Trends, demographics, population analytics etc. The Coffee World uses this analysis by
encouraging company's supplier to enhance the working conditions and effectively managing the
waste material by creating a new product from it. This results in friendly environment for
workers and by managing waste material they fully utilised the resources to their maximum
extent.
Technological:The factors of technological environment results in innovation of
technology which influences the operations of the industry might be favourably or unfavourably.
The result depend upon automation, research and development and the awareness related
towards technology. Coffee World is providing many features on their websites and one from
them is the inclusion of personalised wardrobes for each site that includes different types of
question answered by the buyer. Coffee World uses technological benefit by advertising them on
social media by consumers or celebrities which attract new buyer.
Legal:The legal factor is present in both the side internal and external environment. Some
laws are made by company itself for better functioning that is internal side and certain laws
formed by the government that is external side. Coffee World provides a coffee to its targeted
customers due to which they need to implement various laws related with foods as well as
employment acts such as Health and safety act 1974, Food and safety act, 1990 etc.

climate and many more. Coffee World have a clear vision of environmental section on their
website as there is a ethical trading policy containing detailed section regarding all they do.

Coffee World has stated that they will provide guidance and support to ensure ethical trading is
