The learner independently creates a business vicinity map reflective of the potential carpentry market within the locality. Time Allotment: 4 hours Module 2 Environment and Market Introduction People who aspire to start a business need to explore the economic, cultural, and social conditions prevailing in an area. Needs and wants of the people in a certain area that are not met may be considered as business opportunities. Identifying the needs of the community, its resources, available raw materials, skills, and appropriate technology can help a new entrepreneur in seizing a business opportunity. DRAFT To be successful in any kind of business venture, potential entrepreneurs should always look closely at the environment and market. They should always be watchful on the existing opportunities and constraints. The opportunities in the business environment are those factors that provide possibilities for a business to expand and make more profits. Constraints, on the other hand, are those factors that limit the ability to grow, hence reduces the chance of generating profit. One of the best ways to evaluate the opportunities and constraints is to conduct SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis. 17 SWOT analysis is a managerial tool to assess the environment. This gathers important information, which in turn is used in strategic planning. Strengths and weaknesses are internal in an organization. Basically, they relate to resources owned by an organization, things that one can have control over, as well as the extent of its marketing. Opportunities and threats exist in the external environment. Opportunities relate to the market, the development of new technologies, and external factors such as government policies, climate, and trends. Threats relate to what the competition is doing as well as legal and other constraints. Now that you have read some of the important considerations to look into to be successful in any business, you are now ready to explore more about the environment and market. To begin with, first try to find out the competencies that you will master after finishing this module.

Product Development Product development refers to a process of making a new product to be sold by a business or enterprise to its customers. It may involve modification of an existing product, its presentation, or formulation of an entirely new product that satisfies a newly defined customer’s needs or wants and a market place. The term development in this module refers collectively to the entire process of identifying a market opportunity, creating a product that appeals to the identified market, and finally, testing, modifying, and refining the product until this will be ready for production. This product can be any item to be sold to the consumers. 22 There are basic, yet vital questions that you can ask yourself about, such as the follonw: 1. For whom are the product and services? 2. What benefit will the customers expect from it? 3. How will the product differ from the existing brand or from their competitor? When you find acceptable answers to these, you may now say that you are ready to develop a product and render the expected service. Likewise, needs and wants of the people within the area should also be taken into primary consideration. Everyone has his or her own needs and wants. However, people have different concepts of needs and wants. Needs in business are important things that every individual cannot do without in a society. These include: 1. basic commodities for consumption 2. clothing and other personal belongings 3. shelter, sanitation and health DRAFT 4. education Basic needs are essential to every individual so he or she may be able to live with dignity and pride in the community. These needs can obviously help one generate business ideas and subsequently develop product. Wants are desires, luxury and extravagance that signify wealth and an expensive way of living. Wants or desires are considered above all the basic necessities of life. Some examples are the eagerness or the passion of every individual which are non- basic needs like fashion accessories, shoes, clothes, travelling around the world, eating in an exclusive restaurant, watching movies, concerts, and plays, having luxurious cars, wearing expensive jewelry, and perfume, living in impressive homes, and others. Needs and wants of people are the basic indicators of the kind of business that you may engage into because it can serve as the measure of your success. Some other good points that you might consider in business undertakings are the kind of people, their needs, wants, lifestyle, culture and tradition, and social orientation that they 23 have, in summary, product development entirely depends on the needs and wants of the customers. Another important issue to deal with is the key concepts of developing a product. The succeeding topic shall enlighten you about the procedure in coming up with a product. Product Concepts Development Concept development is a very critical phase in the development of a product. From this stage, the needs of the target market are identified and competitive products are reviewed before the product specifications are defined. The product concept is selected along with an economic analysis to come up with an outline of how a product is being developed. Below is a figure that shows the stages of concept development of a product. Identify customer needs Establish target specification s Generate product concepts DRAFT Analyze Competitive Products Select a product concept Perform economic analysis Refine specificati ons Plan remaining developmen t project Concept Development Figure 3: Concept Development The process of product development follows the following steps: A. Identify customer needs - An entrepreneur can easily identify customers’ needs and wants by using a survey form, conducting interviews,... In this stage, the information that can be possibly 24 gathered here are product specifications (performance, taste, size, color, shape, life span of the product, etc.). This stage is very important because this would determine the quality of the product to be produced or provided. B. Establish target specifications - Based on customers’ needs and reviews of competitive products, you may now establish target specifications of the prospective new product and services. Target specifications are essentially a wish list. C. Analyze competitive products - It is imperative to analyze existing competitive products to provide important information in establishing product and services specifications. Other products may exhibit successful design attributes that should be emulated or improved upon in the new product or service. D. Generate product concepts - After having gone through the previous processes, you may now develop a number of product concepts to illustrate what types of product and service are both technically feasible and would best meet the requirements of the target specifications. DRAFT E. Select a product concept - Through the process of evaluation between attributes, a final concept is selected. After the final selection, additional market research can be applied to obtain feedback from certain key customers. F. Refine product specifications - In this stage, product and service specifications are refined on the basis of input from the following results of extensive study, expected service life, and projected selling price. G. Perform economic analysis - Throughout the process of product development, it is very important to always review and estimate the economic implications arising from the development expenses, manufacturing costs, and selling price of the product and services to be offered. 25 H. Plan the remaining development project - In this final stage of concept development, you may prepare a detailed development plan which includes a list of activities, the necessary resources and expenses, and a development schedule with milestones for tracking progress. Finding Value People buy for a reason. There should be something in your product or services that would give consumers a good reason to go back and buy more. There must be something that makes you the best option for your target customers; otherwise they have no reason to buy what you are selling. This implies further that you offer something to your customers that will make them value or treasure your product and services. The value that you incorporate to your product is called value proposition. Value proposition is “a believable collection of the most persuasive reasons people should notice you and take the action you are asking for.” Value is created by fulfilling deep desires and solving deep problems. This is what gets the people moving, and what gets them spending for your product and service. DRAFT Innovation Innovation is the introduction of something new in your product or services. This may be a new idea, a new method or a device. If you want to increase your sales and profit you must innovate. Some of the possible innovations in your products are change of packaging, improved taste, color, size, shape and perhaps price. Some of the possible innovations in providing services are the application of new improved methods, additional featured services, and possibly freebees. 26 Unique Selling Proposition (USP) Unique selling proposition is the factor or consideration presented by a seller as the reason that one product or service is different from and better than that of the competators. Before you can begin to sell your product or service to your target customers, you have to sell yourself for it. This is especially important when your product or service is similar to those around you. USP would require careful analysis of other businesses’ ads and marketing messages. If you analyze what they say or what they sell, involving not just their product or service characteristics, you can learn a great deal about how companies distinguish themselves from competitors. Here’s how to discover your USP and use it to increase your sales and profit: • Use empathy: Put yourself in the shoes of your customers. Always focus on the needs of the target customers and forget falling in love with your own product or services. Always remember, you are making this product or providing for the target customers to eventually increase sales and earn profit, and not just making this product or services for yourself. An essential question is what could make them come back again and again and ignore competition. Most possible answers will be focused on the quality, availability, convenience, cleanliness, reliability, and friendliness ot the product or service. DRAFT • Identify what motivates your customers. It is very important for you to understand and to find out what drives and motivates your customers to buy your product or service. Make some efforts to find out, analyze, and utilize the information that motivates the customers in their decision to purchase the product or services. • Discover the actual and genuine reasons why customers buy your product instead of a competitor’s. Information is very important in decision making. A competitive entrepreneur 27 always improve his or her products and services to provide satisfaction and of course retention of customers. As your business grows, you should always consider the process of asking your customers important information and question that you can use to improve your product and services. In order to firm up your understanding of the topic previously presented, you will be tasked to form a group and conduct an interview with a successful entrepreneur or practitioner. You have to document this interview and present this to the whole class for reflection and appreciation. Task 3: Interview Direction: Select a successful entrepreneur or practitioner. Conduct an interview by utilizing the sets of questions below. Document the interview and present this to the class. DRAFT 1. How do you identify your customers? 2.

DRAFT Generating Ideas for Business The process of developing or generating a business idea is not a simple process. Some people just come to a bunch of business ideas, but some really are without ideas. There are two problems that arise; first is the excessive generation of ideas that can forever: remain in the dreaming stage, and second is when they don’t have ideas and still want to become an entrepreneur. The most optimal way is to have a systematic approach in generating and selecting business idea that will be transformed into real business. Here are some basic yet very important considerations you may use to generate possible ideas for business: 30 1. Examine the existing goods and services. Are you satisfied with the product? What do other people who use the product say about it? How can it be improved? Are there many ways of improving a product from the way it is made to the way it is packed and sold? You can also improve the materials used in crafting the product. In addition, you introduce new ways of using the product, making it more useful and adaptable to the customers’ many needs. When you are improving the product or enhancing it, you are doing an innovation. You can also do an invention by introducing an entirely new product to replace the old one. Business ideas may also be generated by examining what goods and services are sold outside by the community. Very often, these products are sold in a form that can still be enhanced or improved. 2. Examine the present and future needs. Look and listen to what the customers, institution, and communities are missing in terms of goods and services. Sometimes, these needs are already obvious and felt at the moment. Other needs are not that obvious because they can only be felt in the future, in the event of certain developments in the community. For example, a province will have its electrification facility in the next six months. Only by that time will the entrepreneur could think of electricallypowered or generated business such as photo copier, computer service, digital printing, etc. DRAFT 3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. Needs for the products and services are referred to as market demand. To satisfy these needs is to supply the products and services that meet the demands of the market. The term market refers to whoever will use or buy the products or service, and these may be people or institutions such as other businesses, establishments, organizations, or government agencies. There is a very good business opportunity when there is absolutely no supply to a pressing market demand. Businesses or industries in the locality also have needs for goods and services. Their needs for raw materials, 31 maintenance, and other services such as selling and distribution are good sources of ideas for business. 4. Examine the available resources around you. Observe what materials or skills are available in abundance in your area. A business can be started out of available raw materials by selling them in raw form and by processing and manufacturing them into finished products. For example, scaffolding needs coco lumber or goo lumber. This may be replaced by bamboo. Nails may be replaced by rattan strings. A group of people in your neighborhood may have some special skills that can be harnessed for business. For example, women in the Mountain Province possess loom weaving skills that have been passed on from one generation to the next generation. Some communities there set up weaving businesses to produce blankets, as well as decorative items and various souvenir items for sale to tourists and lowland communities. Business ideas can come from your own skills. The work and experience you may have in agricultural arts, industrial arts, home economics, and ICT classes will provide you with business opportunities to acquire the needed skills which will earn for you extra income, should you decide to engage in income-generating activities. With your skills, you may also tinker around with various things in your spare time. Many products were invented this way. DRAFT 5. Read magazines, news articles, and other publications on new products and techniques or advances in technology. You can pick up new business ideas from Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, Business Magazines, “Go Negosyo”, KAB materials, Small-Industry Journal. The Internet serves as a library where you may browse and surf on possible businesses. It will also guide you on how to put the right product in the right place, at the right price, at the right time. Listing of possible businesses to set up in an area may also be available from banks or local non-government organizations. 32 Key concepts of selecting a business idea Once you have embarked on identifying the business opportunities, you will eventually see that there are many possibilities that are available for you. It is very unlikely that you will have enough resources to pursue all of them at once. Which one will you choose? You have to select the most promising one from among hundreds and one ideas. It will be good to do this in stages. In the first stage, you screen your ideas to narrow them down to about five choices. In the next stage, trim down the five choices to two options. In the final stage, choose between the two and decide which business idea is worth pursuing. In screening your ideas, examine each one in terms of the following factors: 1. How much capital is needed to put up the business? 2. How big is the demand for the product? Do many people need this product and will continue to need it for a long time? DRAFT 3. How is the demand met? Who are processing the products to meet the need (competition or demand)? How much of the need is now being met (supply)? 4. Do you have the background and experience needed to run this particular business? 5. Will the business be legal, not going against any existing or foreseeable government regulation? 6. Is the business in line with your interest and expertise? Your answers to these questions will be helpful in screening which ones from among your many ideas are worth examining further and worth pursuing. 33 Branding Branding is a marketing practice of creating name, symbol, or design that identifies and differentiates a product or services from other products and services. It is also a promise to your customers. It tells them what they can expect from your product or services, and it differentiate your offerings from other competitors. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be, and who people perceive you to be. Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business. An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets. The features of a good product brand are as follows: - Delivers the message clearly; Confirms your credibility; Connects your target prospects emotionally; Motivates the buyer; and Concretizes user loyalty. DRAFT Here are some simple tips to publicize your brand: • Develop a tagline. Write a meaningful, unforgettable, and easy to remember statement that captures the essence of your brand. • Get a great logo. Create a logo suitable to your business and consistent with your tagline and place it everywhere. • Write down your brand messaging. Select key messages you want to communicate about your brand. • Be true to your brand. Deliver your brand promise. • Be consistent. Be reliable and consistent every time. In generating a business idea, you should first identify what type of environment is suited to your business idea. You should 34 analyze and scan the potential environment, study the marketing practices and strategies of your competitors. Analyze the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and the Threats in your environment to ensure that the products and services you are planning to offer will be within the easy reach of your target market and consumers. Bear in mind these simple rules for successful SWOT analysis: • Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your business when conducting SWOT analysis. • SWOT analysis should distinguish between where your business is today and where it could be in the future. DRAFT • SWOT should always be specific. Avoid any grey areas. • Always apply SWOT in relation to your competitor i.e. better than or worse than your competitor. • Keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and over analysis. • SWOT is subjective. 35 Task 6: SWOT Analysis Direction: In generating a business idea, environmental scanning is very important.

Materials and tools should be properly checked, selected, and prepared per job requirements. Scaffold installation is also important in this task because it is utilized when formwork installation is made. Since trees are the source of lumber, you must be aware that only fully matured trees are big trees that are ready to cut as lumber for commercial purposes, subject to the laws, directives, and other legal procedures implemented by the Government. This is aligned with the Government’s thrust in preserving the wholesome environment and contribute in addressing the harmful effects of global warming. Because of the scarcity of lumber, it has become expensive, and alternative materials are now used such as pre-fabricated steel used in scaffoldings and staging.

You also need to learn how to identify the different defects of wood which may cause unnecessary failures in the assembling process. Bow A curve along the face of a lumber that usually runs from end to end. Cupping Warping along the face of a board across the width of the board. This often occurs when one side dries faster the other DRAFT Checking A crack in the wood structure of a piece, running lengthwise usually caused by rapid seasoning. 54 Split A longitudinal separation of the fibers which extends to the opposite face of a piece of sawn timber. Crook Warping along the edge from one end to the other. This is most common in wood that was cut from the center of the tree near the pith. DRAFT Twist Warping in lumber where the ends twist in opposite directions. Wane The presence of bark or absence of wood on corners of a piece of lumber. 55 Blue Stain A discoloration that penetrates the wood fiber. It can be any color other than the natural color of the piece in which it is found. It is classified as light, medium, or heavy and is generally blue or brown. Machine Burn A darkening of the wood due to overheating by the machine knives or rolls when pieces are stopped in a machine. DRAFT Pitch An accumulation of resinous material on the surface or in pockets below the surface of wood. It is also called gum or sap. 56 Loose Knot Cannot be relied upon to remain in place in the piece. It is caused by a dead branch that was not fully integrated into the tree before it was cut down. Tight Knot A knot fixed by growth or position in the wood structure so that it firmly retains its place in the surrounding wood. DRAFT Wood bores Holes in the wood caused by insects and beetles. 57 Properties of Wood Physical Properties • Moisture content is the ratio of the mass of water contained in the mass of the same sample of dry wood. • Shrinkage occurs when wood loses moisture below the fiber saturation point. • Density of wood is determined by the amount of cell wall substance and the volume of voids by the cell cavities (lumens) of the fibers. • Permeability is influenced by the anatomy of the wood cells. • Mass properties of wood are conductivity, heat, and coefficient of thermal expansion. DRAFT • Electrical properties of wood are the dielectric constant and the dielectric power factor alternating current. • The single most useful electrical property of plywood is its resistivity, or inability to conduct electrical current. The mechanism of electrical conduction depends upon the presence of ions in the wood Mechanical Properties • Elasticity of wood depends on grain orientation, moisture, species, temperature, and rate of loading. • Strength is dependent upon rate of loading, species, moisture, contents, orientation, temperature, size and location of natural characteristics such as knots and specimen size. • Vibration damping and sound velocity are two primary vibration phenomena of interest in structural application. 58 SELF-CHECK 1.2 Wood Defects Directions: Read and understand the statements below.

Serious injury or death may result from improper assembly or use of scaffold equipment. Assemblers and users must be familiar with and must follow safe practice and observe the safety rules written below. These safety rules cover generalized situations only and should not be used to replace any other additional safety and precautionary measures that may be necessary to cover the many usual or unusual conditions encountered during installation or dismantling. The rules are not intended to conflict with, or supersede the requirements of the OH&S Laws or any other government regulations, codes, and rules; the user must refer to and comply with all such specific provisions of law. DRAFT A. Follow safe practice of the safety rules and comply with OH & S laws, and local rules, codes, and regulations pertaining to scaffolding during any use of the equipment. B. The potentially hazardous nature of scaffolding assembly makes it important that all personnel assigned to this work be instructed in these safety rules, safe practices and procedures, and be under the supervision of an experienced person. Ensure that these safety rules are posted and that all assemblers and users of the scaffold are aware of and follow them. C. Report any unsafe conditions to supervisors. Do not work or allow persons to work on scaffolds when sick or suffering from dizziness, unsteadiness, or any other physical symptom which could affect their ability to work safely. D. Inspect all equipment before use. Never use any equipment which is damaged, defective, or deteriorated in any 71 way. E. Inspect assembled scaffold frequently and be sure that it is maintained in a safe condition; ensure that the scaffold connection has not loosened and that components have not been improperly released or removed. F. Maintain all equipment in good condition. Never use corroded or excessively rusted equipment; the strength of such equipment is not known. G. Consult your scaffolding supplier when in doubt. Never take chances. H. Always read these safety rules in conjunction with all safety regulations. I. Always place scaffolds on a ground, stable surface and assure that it is adequate to support the intended scaffold loads. Never place scaffolds on unstable surface where loose objects could tip, break or become dislodged. J. Lift and lower components carefully and safely; use tag lines where appropriate to the handling method. Never allow excessive quantities of components to be stockpiled on partially complete scaffolds. Stock only sufficient components consistent with the progress of the work. Lower dismantled components as soon as possible. Never drop components deliberately. DRAFT K. The tying of the scaffold to the structure is of great importance to the stability and safety of the scaffold. Assure that the structure to which the scaffold is tied or anchored is capable of safely supporting all loads imposed on the scaffold. L. Free standing scaffolds other than wall scaffolds must be restrained from tipping by guying or other means or otherwise stabilized as appropriate, recognizing that stability is essential to the safety of the scaffold. M. Install guardrails, mid-rails, and toe-boards at all openings, open sides, and ends of every work platform . 72 N. Never use ladders or makeshift devices on top of scaffolds to increase the height. Never place or stand a plank on guardrails. O. Power lines near scaffolds are dangerous. Use extreme caution and consult the electrical company to have the lines de-energized and insulated to ensure safety. Never allow any installation or use of scaffolds until this is completed. P. When any cantilevers are used, such as brackets, etc, proper care and precautions must be taken to prevent tipping of the scaffold. DRAFT 73 SELF-CHECK 2.1 Scaffold Safety Rules Modified True or False: Directions: Write True if the statement is correct and False if it is incorrect, then write the correct answer. 1. A scaffold is a permanent structure installed to ensure safety. 2. Assemblers of scaffoldings need not be aware about its safe use as long as there are knowledgeable workers in the area. 3. Do not work or allow persons to work on scaffolds when sick or suffering from any other physical symptom which could affect their ability to work safely. 4. Use ladders or makeshift devices on top of scaffolds to increase the height. DRAFT 5. Never place scaffolds on unstable surface where loose objects could tip, break, or become dislodged. 6.

When any cantilevers are used, such as brackets, proper care and precautions must be taken to prevent tipping of the scaffold. 10. Free standing scaffolds other than wall scaffolds must be restrained from tipping by guying or other means. 74 INFORMATION SHEET 2.2 Identifying parts of a wooden scaffolding Parts of a Portable Scaffolding: • Outrigger is a part of scaffold that holds the platforms. • Uprights or Posts are used to support the structure. • Platforms are raised floors used to step on by workers while working. • Diagonal Braces are used to prevent lateral movements of the scaffold. • Cleats are fixed to support outriggers. • Horizontal Support is a part that holds the lower portion of the legs or the upright support of the scaffolding. DRAFT 75 Safety Rules in the Construction of Wooden Scaffolding • Use strong lumber for the scaffolding. Never use decayed lumber or lumber with knots, wind shakes, and splinters because they easily break. • Properly brace the uprights of the scaffolding to prevent lateral movement. • Nail all the platforms to their supports. If the platforms are not nailed, they may slip or tip off. • Place enough support for the platform. • Avoid long protruding platforms beyond the supports. If they can’t be avoided, place another support at the end. Unsupported overhanging platforms may break or tip off when stepped upon. • Properly secure the supports of the bracket and cantilever scaffolds. DRAFT Hints in the Construction of Wooden Scaffolds • The construction and location of the different parts of scaffolding should be well planned so that they will not affect the proper placing of the building. A haphazard placing of the different parts of scaffolding might make it necessary to dismantle and reconstruct the scaffold. This is a waste of time, effort, and money. • The platform should be at a convenient height so that the workers on the platform do not have to stoop or stand on their toes while doing the job. • The platforms should be at level, unless the particular job requires a sloping platform. 76 SELF-CHECK 2.2 Identifying parts of wooden scaffolding Multiple Choice: Read the statements carefully.

Hose level is one of the best and most accurate tools for guiding work and in establishing a horizontal level. Plumb bob is a tool with weight and string, used to check the vertical alignment of structures. Steps in using the plumb level and spirit level • For horizontal levelness, hold the tool up to the desired level. • See to it that the vacant space in the liquid which looks like a bubble is centered. DRAFT • Then mark a line on the leveled surface. 114 • For vertical levelness, position the tool vertically on the desired portion. • Repeat step 2, then mark a straight line. Steps in using the plumb bob • Fix a lever where you can tie the string of the plumb bob. • Let the weight stretch the string until it is around 5 mm above the ground. • Wait until the weight stand still. • Then mark the exact direction of the point of the weight. • Mark the line of the string aligned to the exact location of the point. DRAFT 115 • Make sure that the form is parallel to the string of the plumb bob. Steps in using the level hose • Stretch the hose, then put water. If possible, use colored water to make it easier to see. • Examine the whole length of the hose to make sure that no bubbles (vacant spaces) exist. If bubbles exist, remove the water then put water once more. • Allow the water level to settle, then, mark one side of the structure, and position one end of the hose with water on this side. DRAFT • Place the other end of the hose on the other side and watch until the liquid holds. • Then mark this side, and mark clearly. • In case of doubt about the levelness, repeat the procedure. 116 STRESS ON MATERIALS Flexibility is the ability of a material to be bent repeatedly without damage or injury.
