3 Nr Topic culture. Contact hours Theory Practice Readings 8 Final presentation of opportunity analysis project (OAP). Presentation and discussion in front of new venture experts. 4 Tutorial 2 Final exam 2 : Chapters 11 Self study and assessment Type of assignment Topics Hours Evaluation, % Interim examination (based on the assigned material (chapters from a course textbook), and a mini case study) Opportunity assessment project (OAP) (report (Presentation and written report) each student in the course will be a member of a group, and will be preparing a written OAP report and presentation). Written exam (will consist of several open-ended questions. Exam will focus on applying skills and knowledge learned in this course). Total: INTERIM EXAM WITH A MINI CASE STUDY The interim examination will consist of two parts: Theoretical part, which covered by class material and assigned literature, chapters from the course text book. This part aims at evaluating to what extent students have internalized and understood key concepts and ideas from the first 4 sessions. Students will be asked to present and discuss key issues from the covered literature. Mini case study will also assess a degree to which students are able to put their knowledge to practice, i.e. apply them in trying to analyse and solve real life problems, by accounting for all contingencies of the case company or entrepreneurial team context. This assignment is individual and will account for 20% of the final grade OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS PROJECT (Group project) Via the Opportunity Analysis Project (OAP), students will learn how to tell the difference between a good idea in a dorm or a lab and a great scalable business opportunity. Student teams will identify and define a market opportunity and pitch the opportunity to your classmates, the teaching team and new venture professionals. Key Deliverables Each team should pick an opportunity and perform a first analysis to understand whether your opportunity can be turned into a scalable business. In your presentation and written analysis a team will tell the "story" of a proposed venture by addressing as much of the following as possible and appropriate: Concept and Vision. Where did your idea come from? What the market opportunity is and what your solution might be? What makes your solution particularly compelling? How does it make meaning and the world a better place? Do you have personal experiences with this market? Is there existing intellectual property that you must license or new intellectual property you must develop in order to pursue this opportunity? Has anyone tried something like this before? If so, why did they fail or succeed, and why is the opportunity still attractive? Market Analysis. What industry or sector of the economy are you addressing? Why is this market attractive? What segment of the overall market are you pursuing? What market research data can be gathered to describe this market need? What are the total industry or category sales over the past three years? What is the 2 nd SEMESTER
4 anticipated growth for this industry? If this is a new market, what is the best analogous market data that illustrates the opportunity? Project the potential market size and growth for your opportunity. Customers and Customer Development. This is extremely important. You need to have a clear idea of who your target customer is. The only way for you to be able to do this is to "get out of the building" and speak with your potential customers. You will need to answer questions such as: What does the customer need? Why does the customer need it? What is the customer using today? What is the customer willing to pay for your solution? Why? How will you reach this customer? You should include both primary (or first-hand) research and secondary research, emphasizing primary over secondary. Competition and Positioning. Who else serves this customer need? Who might attempt to serve this market in the future? What advantages and weaknesses do these competitors and would-be competitors have? What share of the market do specific competitors serve? Are the major competitors' sales growing, declining, or steady? What are the barriers to entry for you? What are the barriers to entry for additional competitors? How could partners and allies best help you overcome competition from established enterprises or other startups? Business Model and Lean Startup Philosophy. Now that you have discovered an opportunity and talked to potential customers, how will you turn it into a business? How will you make money and when do you expect your venture to be profitable? What is the major risk to address right away (e.g., market or technical)? In other words, which hypothesis regarding product or market strategies need to be tested right away? Learning and Adaptation. What did you learn and how between the time you choose the idea and wrote the first draft of the positioning statement and producing the final written report? Is this idea a true opportunity or not? The list above has no implied order. Some entrepreneurs start with a well-defined concept and then try to identify a market for their idea; others start by studying a market and then stumble upon an idea. Also, please keep in mind that the specific data and information you provide will vary according to the type of opportunity you choose to analyse. Recommended five basic steps in the process of analysing an opportunity: Identify potential opportunities. Combine your own personal experiences and creativity with external forecasts and trend analysis. How is the world changing with respect to new technologies? What is the impact of globalization on current solutions? What new requirements will those changes produce? Recent media articles on trends are often a good place to start. Additionally, you may want to look through Stanford's Office of and Licensing for new technologies that have been developed at the University. Define your purpose and objectives. Identify your most promising opportunity, being careful to discriminate between an interesting technological idea and a viable market opportunity. Prepare an outline which will help you to determine what types of data and information you need to demonstrate the attractiveness of your chosen opportunity. Gather data from primary sources. It is crucial for you to obtain data from primary sources. Potential investors will place more trust in well conducted primary research than in stacks of data from secondary sources. There is simply no substitute for talking to potential customers from the target market in order to validate the opportunity you have identified. Consequently, we prefer that you spend time gathering data from primary, not just secondary, sources. Check out SurveyMonkey as well. Gather data from secondary sources. Countless secondary sources exist on the web and in Stanford's various library resources. The Jackson Library GSB Database Resources and the GSB librarians are especially helpful. Appendix C of the Dorf and Byers textbook offers a good summary of secondary research sources. Try not to get too bogged down in financial and accounting data. Analyse and interpret the results. Persuasively summarize your results. A key success factor for a successful project is the depth of your analysis and what you learned from it. If after careful research you have determined that your business idea is not as promising as you originally thought, it is totally acceptable to present an OAP that describes why your idea will not make sense now rather than why it is the next big thing. An honest, rigorous analysis of an idea that did not survive further scrutiny is preferable to either (a) a half-baked presentation of an idea your team is unsure of, or (b) an enthusiastic job of over selling for your current idea, even though you know it is problematic. Assignment due dates will be provided in advance. Students are responsible for keeping track of these dates. Students cannot redo their case solution reports or re-defend them after the deadline. The accumulative weight of case analysis report and presentation is 30%. 2 nd SEMESTER
5 END-SEMESTER INDIVIDUAL WRITTEN FINAL EXAM End-semester individual written final exam is compulsory and is given to students to check upon the scope (theoretical and practical) of the whole course. The exam will also include material covered during the Interim exam. The Final Exam will consist of several open-ended questions, which require demonstrating both acquired knowledge and deep understanding behind it. The Final examination will also have will mini cases, which students will have solve drawing on the course content. The accumulative weight of the Final Exam is 50%. Course textbook 1.
