In Texas, TXU is making a 10 billion investment for future power needs by creating a new renewable company for the electric power needs of a growing Texas market. It plans to provide lower-cost, secure and stable power with new consumer and business service offerings, and a voluntary emissions reduction program. The new investments will provide more reliable electricity thereby reducing dependence on natural gas, as well as create jobs and lower emissions. 

We would typically attract perhaps 15-20 initial one-page descriptions, and most people would follow through and write a full business plan. However, a majority of these plans were very academic. You would get a beautifully prepared plan for a business with a market potential of S 100 million within live years, but you could tell that management did not have the domain expertise to follow through. They didn t have the experience needed to execute the plan, and didn t have a clear idea how to reach their revenue objectives. 

An overview is provided of the North American PE Foam Market. Historical market growth rate and market dynamics are presented as well as a forecast to 2007.

We may end up recommending a formulation for a low-priced drinking water under the house brand of the local supermarket, which is manufactured with simple separation steps from tap water. It will certainly be esthetically more pleasing than tap water, with or without carbon dioxide to give it the fizz, and it will have less objectionable appearance and smell than tap water. It is aimed at a market niche of people who are willing to pay a little more than tap water to ensure health, but not enough for Evian and Perrier. We will discuss the quantitative methods of evaluation and selection in section 11.6, and the presentation of the recommendations as a business plan in section 11.7. 

There should be an oral presentation towards the end of the semester to the management (which is your classmates, the professor, and the invitees) on your business plan for a proposed new product on the innovative product idea, on market and technology analysis, on the financial and environmental analysis, and on your recommended action. Be prepared to answer searching questions from your management, and to hear constructive comments intended to improve your research, your analysis, your recommendation, and your presentation skills. If time permits, it would be useful to take all the comments and constructive suggestions into consideration, and make a second oral presentation. The product design project concludes with the submission of a written report, which would be in parallel with the traditional process design project. 

Advanced composites represent another major growth market. It is expected to reach 10 billion by the end of the next decade. Du Pont recently announced the formation of a new composites division to consolidate operations and business-planning functions. The company intends to participate in every step of the composites process, from the manufacture of reinforcing fibers and resins to the design and fabrication of finished products to replace metals in aeronautic, aerospace, and automative applications. Du Pont s families of engineering resins and industrial fibers give it an excellent springboard for this opportunity. 

The usual way to proceed with a promising TOA is to write a full business plan as a preparatory step to doing the startup. Normally, TOAs do not contain sufficient market, financial, executive team, corporate structure, or corporate operational detail to launch a new business, and writing a formal business plan starts from tlie TOA and adds the necessary detail.

Pharmacies, like any other business or organization, cannot build new value-added services with the hope that consumers will adopt them. Pharmacy managers can use business planning as a tool to evaluate consumer needs, the market, and their own resources before deciding whether to offer value-added services and... 

A useful concept for entrepreneurs that may be especially applicable to pharmacist entrepreneurs is the incubator. This term describes an entity that exists to help get new businesses started. As stated earlier, entrepreneurs cannot be an expert in every area required ofentrepreneurship. Incubators bring all or many of the necessary areas together (e.g., accounting, business plan development, legal, capital acquisition, etc.) to help entrepreneurs bring their ideas to market. As discussed previously, investment early in the idea-development process costs the most. Incubators usually take significant equity of the business to get started. The... 

The project should be business driven. For example, Ray Miller explains the importance of bringing value to markets—a basic but critical concept. If a project is business driven, it has a much higher probability of resulting in commercial success and in a shorter time than if it is technically driven. In general, one can assess the business driver by the existence or absence of a business plan and a financial model for the project that identifies specific applications and customers for the product(s). The business plan and financial model must be validated by repeated, critical scrutiny by successful, informed businesspeople and investors.
