New – new Approaches to Creating New –old


Approach a New Venture Approach
01) Creating New Ventures
5

Most Effective way to approach- Create a unique


product or service
New-New Approach - New products or services
frequently enter the market.
E.g.: Smartphones, MP3 players, plasma TVs and
GPS. All these products are introduced as a result
of R&D efforts by major corporations. However,
unique ideas are not produced by only large
companies. One way to discover new products is
to make a list of annoying experiences or hazards
encountered with various products or services
6

Most business ideas tend to come from


people’s experience. These are PITA
products or ‘pain in the arse’ products
E.g.: Facebook was founded by Mark
Zuckerberg, a Harvard University student
who was frustrated by a lack of networking
facilities on campus. The company was
founded in February 2004 and is now the
largest source for photos and one of the
most trafficked sites on the internet
7

 New- Old Approach:


 Most small venture do not start with totally
unique idea. Instead, an individual piggybacks
on someone else’s idea by either improving a
product or offering a service which is not
currently available. E.g.: setting up
restaurants, clothing stores in suburban areas
that do not have an abundance of these
stores. This is risky because competitors can
move in easily.
8

 The new-new approach is starting a business


by creating a new and unique products or
services. It is only based on the innovative
idea and does not permit an adaptation.
 While the new-old approach is based on
someone else’s idea by either improving a
product or offering an existing service in an
area in which it is not currently available.
