COURSEWORK 1 (Group Level Assessment – 15% of total coursework marks)


Hisrich, Peters & Shepherd (2024) Stated that
“Entrepreneurship plays an important role in the creation and growth of businesses,
as well as in the growth and prosperity of regions and nations. These large-scale
outcomes can have quite humble beginnings; entrepreneurial actions begin at the
nexus of a lucrative opportunity and an enterprising individual. Entrepreneurial
opportunities are “those situations in which new goods, services, raw materials, and
organizing methods can be introduced and sold at greater than their cost of
production.” For example, an entrepreneurial opportunity could stem from
introducing an existing technological product used in one market to create a new
market. Alternatively, an entrepreneurial opportunity could be creating a new
technological product for an existing market or creating both a new product/service
and a new market. The recurring theme is that an entrepreneurial opportunity
represents something new. However, such possibilities require an enterprising
individual or a group of enterprising individuals to recognize, evaluate, and exploit
these situations as possible opportunities. Therefore, entrepreneurship requires
action—entrepreneurial action through the creation of new products/processes
and/or the entry into new markets, which may occur through a newly created
organization or within an established organization” (Para 1).
Barringer & Dunane (2019) defined Entrepreneurship as the process by which people seek
opportunities without considering the resources they currently control to exploit future
goods and services. They refer an opportunity as is a favourable set of conditions that creates
a need for a new product, service, or business; that is attractive, durables, timely and rooted
in a product, service, or business that bring values to its buyers.
Sources of Opportunities can be ( but not limited to):
Observing trend such as economic forces, social trends, technology advances and political
action and regulatory changes.
Solving a problem: Some business ideas are clearly gleaned from the recognition of problems
in emerging trends.
Finding Gaps in the Marketplace: identifying opportunities is to recognize a need that
consumers have that is not being satisfied/addressed

TASKS FOR STUDENTS

WRITTEN SYNOPSIS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITY IDEA


CW1 Instructions: WRITTEN SYNOPSIS of Entrepreneurship Opportunity’s Idea (15%)
1. Every team will be required to do research for ideas/products/services for a FEASIBLE
entrepreneurship business start-up that satisfied the requirement/ conditions as
follows:
a. The start-up idea should be feasible for implementation with a maximum of a
few million ringgit in start-up capital. (NB: Please do not propose mega-
projects that will entail hundreds of millions or billions of ringgits in terms of
start-up capital. This is because it is extremely difficult to raise very large
amounts of start-up capital. The general idea is to start small and to scale up
(grow) the business.)
b. The entrepreneurship idea should also be feasible (doable) in terms of using
existing technology that is proven and stable. (NB: Please do not propose ideas
for which the underlying technologies are still being researched or unstable
(for example, flying cars, driverless cars, hypersonic passenger planes,
hyperloop trains, etc). Worst still, do not propose sci-fi ideas that technology
currently does not exist or require many years of research, for example,
automatic computerised hair cutting/dressing/styling machines, time travel
machines, teleportation, cold fusion energy generation, etc)
c. The start-up business should NOT require obtaining a special license or
contract from government authorities (for example, public infrastructure
projects, telecommunications and broadcasting, banking and finance including
fintech payment systems, services using drones, medical and health services
including telemedicine, public parking apps similar to JomParking, etc) because
it is very difficult and highly uncertain whether you can get the special licence
or contract from the government authorities as these are tightly controlled
sectors.
d. The proposed business start-up should NOT be reliant or dependent upon
partnering with or getting a contract from an established existing private
company, especially a big well- known brand name company (for example,
Lazada/Shopee, Nestle, Astro, Grab, etc) which will totally ignore you given
that you are a totally new and unknown new business start-up with no existing
business tract record

IMPORTANT NOTES:
You must also ensure that it is NOT a Non-Profit organisation (i.e., charitable
organisation) but business organisation that must be financially sustainable in that
you must make good profits. In short, your business must be able to generate good
revenue on its own (like any other business) and be sustainable in the long term.
5

Students should consult with the tutor-in-charge if they are unsure as to the
relevance, feasibility, and acceptability.

2. The group written synopsis of entrepreneurship start-up idea must be written according to
the format as shown in the sample template in Appendix 2. The completed assignment should
be submitted to your tutor-in-charge for marking latest by the submission deadline of the end

zero marks for CW1.
3. This assignment should use either font type Arial or New Times Roman. Font size should be
11 or 12. Line spacing of 1.5 should be used throughout. The total word length for CW1 should
be between 800 to 1000 words (excluding the reference list).
4. Please attach the group plagiarism statement (Appendix 1) duly completed and signed by all
team members. The page of the TURNITIN report showing the matching percentage of 15%
or less should also be attached to the CW1 assignment. You are required to attach a copy of
the CW1 assessment matrix (Appendix 3) for the tutor to assign the group marks for the CW1
assignment.
5. Citation and referencing system to be used: A.PA system adopted by TAR UMT. The
Coursework Feedback Form (Appendix 6) should be attached to your CW1 assignment. You
may use the Cover Page in Appendix 5 for your CW1 assignment.
6. You must ensure that your report addresses the following requirements:

estimated market share you intend to capture out of the total market size. If total industry/market
size data not available, then demonstrate how you went about estimating (i.e. show the basis or
method you used to estimate) the projected revenue for Year 1 of operations (this part will need

many months), the layout of the place, how many square-feet the floor area, etc).

NB. If your business does NOT require your customers to come physically to your place of business, then
location advantages, location map, and floor plan are not required to be provided – only the proposed
8

address of your rented office and details regarding rental payment and deposit (based on research) will
suffice.

Operational procedures (details needed such as how many days open, opening/closing time, the various
daily procedures or routines in running the business and serving customers/clients. Additionally, the
various steps in transaction processing from the start to end of a transaction should also be demonstrated
– the use of flowcharts is acceptable for this purpose.

Production plan (if any – if you are not manufacturing a physical product leave this out but if you have a
factory, you need to illustrate the floor plan of your factory showing the setup and location of each
machine used in the manufacturing process. Additionally, briefly show the steps of the manufacturing
process – the use of flowcharts is acceptable for this purpose).

Personnel & Equipment needs and uses (details needed – the type and number of personnel to be
employed and their estimated monthly salaries - use current market rates based on research; specify the
type and number of all machines/equipment that need to be purchased and their estimated costs based
on current market rates – need to research for such information, for example, one unit 2-horsepower air-
con costs at least RM3,000 – not RM1,000, etc).
NB. This part of the information should align with the information in the Financial Plan section.

Other relevant operational matters if any

Management team- key managerial personnel and their profiles (including qualifications and relevant
work experience)
Legal structure- in actual practice, you may choose between sole-proprietorship, general partnership,
limited liability partnership, or limited liability company legal forms. However, for the purpose of

purposes in the financial plan, all sub-groups must choose the company limited by shares (Sendirian
Berhad) legal form.
Board of directors, company secretary, advisors (if any), consultants (if any), banker/s, etc. As founding
shareholders all or some of you are entitled to sit on the board of directors and receive annual directors’

(CW2); however, in the Body of the Report you should present the Financial Summary and Highlights
and reference this to the detailed financial statements in the Financial Plan appendix

NOTE:
1. A set of financial templates (in Excel format) will be provided to all students via Google Classroom. You
can use this by making the necessary adjustments to it to suit your financial computations. However, if
you wish, you may choose to do your own original financial statements
2. Student teams should go to the Internet and use an online Loan Amortisation Calculator to generate a
loan amortisation table (by keying-in the 4 variables: interest rate per annum, loan period in months,
loan amount, starting date/month of loan). The loan amortisation table generated will facilitate the
student team to easily input the projected figures for interest payment (Income Statement and Cash
Flow Statement), repayment amount of loan principal (Cash Flow Statement only), and loan principal
amount outstanding (still owing to bank) at end of years 1 to 3 in the Balance Sheet. The generation and
use of this loan amortisation table will negate the use of manual calculations and thus greatly reduce or
eliminate errors of computation. The loan amortisation table generated and used should be attached as
an appendix to the CW2 Business Plan report.

Section 6: Potential Risk Factors/Critical Risks Analysis


• Potential problems or risks (about 4 to 5 major and pertinent risks)
• Proposed courses of action to mitigate such potential risks
