Ideas from Work Experience, Hobbies, Interests, and the Environment
- Work experience is a critical source of business ideas (Strydon, 2007).
- Entrepreneurs can use past work experience and skills to solve problems in their current work.
- Business ideas can arise from hobbies or personal interests (e.g., a baker may start selling cakes online).
- New ideas may come from attending trade exhibitions, research institutions, and networking with professionals(e.g., professors, manufacturers).
- Trends are critical to observing for new ideas from technology trends in journals, newspapers, and the internet. (this includes the latest trends in tech).
- Analyzing the business idea matrix of existing and new business ideas, juxtaposed against existing and new markets, will help in identifying new ideas more efficiently. (Figure 10.1). Possible examples of these ideas are outlined in Figures 10.1 and related text.
Techniques for Generating New Business Ideas
- Brainstorming: Generating numerous ideas within a short time with no criticism permitted is an effective method.
- Focus groups: 8-14 individuals discuss new business ideas in a structured environment.
- Surveys: Gathering information from a sample of the population to analyze data on demand, supply, and customer behavior. The survey can be formal or informal, using various methods such as interviews, questionnaires, or observations.
Transformation of Ideas into Business Opportunities
- Assessing the business potential of new ideas requires focus on whether it solves a customer problem.
- Are there higher-value offerings?
- Does it have a specific selling point?
- Is it producible at a cost that allows profitability?
- Can it compete with existing products?

- Thorough due diligence is essential to ensuring the purchase price is competitive.
Summary
- New businesses are not limited to creating entirely new products/services, but can also add value to existing ones.
- Entrepreneurs should be aware of customer feedback for new ideas.
- Building on work experience & hobbies/personal interests, and using brainstorming, focus groups & surveys for new idea generation are important avenues.
