...Proof of Business Concept Purpose and structure of outline feasibility Learning Outcome At the end of this learning resource, students will recognise the purpose of the outline feasibility in proving the business concept and begin to consider the likely structure and content of their own study. The outline feasibility study Purpose of the Study When starting a new venture you will almost certainly need to prepare a Business Plan. However there is little point in investing days and days of effort in preparing a full plan, without first clarifying your thinking. Undertaking some initial feasibility activities will help you assess whether the idea has sufficient potential to warrant the investment of your further time and effort. The Business Plan is the full detailed blueprint for launching a new business or venture and securing funding resources. Many person days are involved in its preparation, but this initial feasibility work will greatly assist its preparation. The Outline Feasibility is a format for developing your thinking and structuring the presentation of key information in a way that will help the decision as to whether to proceed to the full business plan. The feasibility study and the business plan are very different and each has a very specific role[1]. The Outline Feasibility is your initial check on reality. (Launching the business would be your ultimate reality check!) An outline feasibility that presents a compelling case is the first...

...Feasibility Studies BUSE 628 Dr. Khaled Aldeeb Faculty of Economics and Administration King Abdulaziz University Home Work Assignment Prepared By Name: Ahmed Abnawi ID: 1500912 A feasibility study is an important step in the formation or expansion of any business idea. A feasibility study is usually conducted after producers have discussed a series of business ideas or scenarios. The feasibility study helps to frame specific business scenarios so they can be studied in-depth. During this process the number of business alternatives under consideration is usually quickly reduced. However, when a company or a person attempt to conduct a Feasibility study there are some challenges that they may face and these challenges may form some obstacles against conducting a study will list some of these challenges: * How you will start? In order to conduct a Feasibility study for a business you need to assure that you are covering all the aspects related to your study. You need to be very clear about what parts you're going to address and how to work with your business colleagues to construct a coherent view. * What to do? Feasibility is hard to prove. To control this vagueness, implement a written plan of action. The inherent uncertainty makes planning a feasibility study harder than usual, although the project can fail only if the final report is inconclusive. * Wrong Team Any professional study is only as good as the team that does the work. Yet there...

Preliminary Investigation OR Problem Identification: One of most difficult task of the system analyst is identifying the real problem of the existing system. It defines the user requirements or what the user expects from the new system. This also includes the rough idea of the resource requirements as well as estimated time for completion and number of persons expected to be involve in each phase. Problem identification helps in :- i. Defining a problem ii. Setting proper system goal iii. Determining the boundaries of the project by considering the limitations of available resources 2. Feasibility study: It determine the possibility of either improving the existing system or developing the complete new system. It helps to obtain an overview of the problem and to get rough assessment of whether physical solution exist.

SDLC follows six steps-: 1 Preliminary study 2 Determination of system requirement 3 System design 4 Software development 5 System testing 6 Implementation & Maintenance 1 Preliminary study -: Preliminary investigation is the first step in the system development life cycle. The preliminary investigation is a way of handling the user’s request to change, improve or enhance an existing system. The objective is to determine, whether the request is valid and feasible before any recommendation is made to do nothing, improve or modify the existing system, or build altogether a new one. Preliminary study divided into following 3 categories – A. Request Analysis B. Feasibility study C. Request Approval Request Analysis:- In this category, the users need is clearlyIdentify. Analyst identifies that what are the requirements of the user. Feasibility study:- The aim of the feasibility study is to access alternative systems and to propose the most feasible and desirable system for development. Thus, feasibility study provides an overview of the problem and acts as an important checkpoint that should be completed before committing more resources. After identifying the users need, following feasibility studies are done by the analyst- 1).Economic Feasibility: In this study, costs and returns are evaluated to know whether returns justify the investment...

...to determine whether or not the planned investment idea is feasible. The feasibility of an investment has to be considered with respect to several different aspects in order to determine whether the investment should be realized or not. Carrying out a feasibility analysis is therefore one of the most critical steps in the decision-making process. A feasibility analysis is an effective analytical tool that can be used to evaluate investments from various perspectives, e.g. technical, social, legal, financial, market, and organizational. Financial feasibility is often a predominant factor in feasibility analysis, as most investments are not realized if they do not generate profit for the project owners. The focus of this thesis is on financial feasibility analysis and its application in the decision-making process. Precision and reliability of feasibility analysis relies on the accuracy of information used in the analysis. The appropriate level of detail has to be decided with respect to what stage the investment is on. On early stages the level of uncertainty is often high, but as the investment opportunity evolves information become more detailed and reliable. As uncertainty can highly affect the results of the analysis, the level of detail has to be taken into account when basing decisions on the results. To assess the feasibility of investments relevant criteria have to be chosen. Feasibility calculations need to be done with care and the complexity of the calculations...

...Feasibility Studies In order to make wise investments in a marketplace experiencing increasing levels of risk, companies are turning to feasibility studies to determine if they should offer new products, services or undertake a new business endeavor. The purpose of a feasibility study is to determine if a business opportunity is possible, practical and viable. When faced with a business opportunity, many optimistic people tend to focus on just the positive aspects. A feasibility study enables a realistic view at both the positive and negative aspects of the opportunity. A feasibility study is an important tool for making the right decisions. A wrong decision often leads to business failure. For example, only 50% of start-ups are still in business after 18 months and only 20% are in business after 5 years. Feasibility studies are useful when starting a new business or identifying a new opportunity for an existing business. Ideally, the feasibility study process involves making rational decisions about a number of enduring characteristics of a project, including: * Definition of the project; * Current market segmentation; * Projected growth in each market segment; * Current market offerings; * Customer profile(s); * Estimation of customers/revenues; * Determination of competitive differentiation and advantage(s); * Vision/mission statement; * Definition of proposed operations/management structure and management methods; and * Financing and projected...

...Comments/Suggestions: CPT 125 Pre-Requisite: Completion of 1st Year Courses Introduction: Systems Design is a central part of systems development. It comprises the process of turning a set of user requirements into an implementable system and encompasses various activities to achieve this end. Alternative models are challenging the traditional systems development life cycle. Alongside this, two approaches to systems development are emerging: the traditional structured approach; and the object oriented approach. The systems design activity will be studied in the context of these trends. Students should make themselves familiar with at least one traditional approach (e.g. SSADM) and one object oriented approach (e.g. UML). Aims: To understand the role of systems design within various systems development life cycles To develop awareness of the different approaches that may be taken to systems design To understand and apply the tools and techniques that are currently used by systems designers Formatted: Superscript Objectives: Describe different life cycle models and explain the contribution of systems design within them Discuss various systems development approaches and explain their strengths and weaknesses 1 30/09/1123/09/10 Evaluate the tools and techniques that may be used by a system designer in a given context Use appropriate methods to produce a system design for a given scenario Provide suitable systems documentation for a design Discuss the CASE...
