Generating Business Ideas Today you will know sources of potential business ideas. You will understand the factors that contribute to their success.

Generating Business Ideas… Potential sources of business ideas may include: Brainstorming – Individually or in groups/teams Own personal experiences – What jobs have been done in the past? Have you started businesses before? What was learnt from success and failures? Innovation and invention – A flash of individual inspiration Spotting flaws and errors in existing products – Can something being done already be done better? Copying ideas from other countries - e.g. Howard Schulz Starbucks founder, copied the idea of a coffee bar from Italy Spotting trends and anticipating their impacts on people’s lives e.g. Healthier lifestyles Taking a scientific approach, working in a laboratory (e.g. James Dyson) Noticing a gap in the market for something that is not currently being produced Purchasing a franchise

Generating Business Ideas… Small business with limited resources (finances, assets, land, people etc) do not have the funds for large teams of people to invent new product/business ideas. Therefore new small business ideas often have interesting stories based on individuals own innovation and inventiveness. Did you know??? James Dyson came up with his idea for the Dyson ball by looking at the flaws and limited movement of existing vacuum cleaners running on four wheels.
