In this assignment, you will create a revised company description and mission statement based on the feedback you received in the Week 1 discussion. Then, you will conduct a SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat) analysis for the type of beverage you have selected and for your company. As you work on the assignment, consider why you have chosen one type of non-alcoholic beverage over another and the reasons for that choice. As you complete your SWOT analysis, be sure to include external factors such as industry/market trends and competition, and internal factors such as your capabilities or abilities to reach certain market segments.

Write a 3–5-page paper in which you do the following:

1. Create your revised Non-Alcoholic beverage (NAB) company name and explain the name’s significance to you. Describe a NAB that you would produce and sell.
2. Develop your revised company’s mission statement and provide a rationale for its components.

• • Hints: Use the Statement of Mission template on pages 72–73 of the course textbook, Successful Business Plan, to aid your development.
  • Extract appropriate information from the NAB Company Portfolio, where applicable. You should fill in other required items in the template using your personal preferences.

1. Describe the trends in the non-alcoholic beverage industry, especially the specific type of beverage category you have chosen.
   

   • Hints: Research and outline beverage industry trends. Consider the size and growth rate of the industry overall and the specific beverage type you have chosen. Use the worksheet in the course text (p. 88 | Past and Future Growth of Your Industry) to help you project the future growth rate. Consider the use of industry associations and search engines to find reliable and recent data.

2. Choose one strategic position that you believe is the best strategic position for your company. Explain the approach you will use to implement this strategic position in order to distinguish your beverage from other non-alcoholic beverages.
3. Provide an overview of your company’s distribution channels. Explain the manner in which your product will reach end users. Provide a rationale for your chosen method.
   

   • Hints: For example, will you sell your beverage in grocery stores, restaurants, or sports venues? If so, describe the types of resellers and distributors who will sell to resellers and fulfill their orders. If you are attempting to sell directly to consumers, for example, online via a monthly subscription, how will you manage warehousing/fulfillment/shipping?

4. Outline at least three types of risks (including any regulatory risks) that your business faces. Describe your company’s plan to mitigate such risk.
   

   • Hints: You may refer to the types of risk listed in the course text (pp. 148–149) as well as any risks not listed in the text. Regulation weighs more heavily on beverage and food businesses than many other types of companies, so be certain to consider any regulatory risks your type of beverage faces. For example, what kind of regulation and/or risks are you likely to face if you make health claims about your beverage?

5. Develop a SWOT analysis for your NAB company using the SWOT matrix worksheet in the course text (p. 153 | SWOT: Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats).
   

   • Hints: What are your company’s likely strengths? Have you chosen a beverage segment that is growing and lacks an entrenched competitor? Are you in a niche market that has great potential? What are the strengths that you and other team members bring to your company? Do you or other team members have previous experience in the food and beverage industry?
   • Hints: What are your company’s likely weaknesses? Is the competition in your industry segment entrenched? Is your own management team inexperienced? Will it be challenging to actually produce your product and maintain quality?
   • Hints: What are your company’s opportunities? Does your segment have more demand than supply? Have larger corporations stopped serving smaller or niche markets that you could enter? Is a new market emerging because of demographics, immigration, and changing tastes?
   • Hints: What are your company’s threats? Is there a clear market leader that will be hard and expensive to displace? Are downward-pricing pressures in the segment making profit margins slim? Are there little or no barriers to entry for new competitors? if you have a novel idea that succeeds, can the competition easily enter your market? If you have a global aspect to your company, do factors such as currency fluctuations, political instability, offshoring, or outsourcing pose threats?

What is the best business model for the small business or startup you
have chosen? In one page, outline at least three different business
models and then select the best model for your business. Then, give a
short statement explaining why this is the best model. Remember, you
will take feedback from all submitted portions of your plan, revise, and
then submit the final business plan in Week 9.

Write a one (1) page outline in which you:

1. Briefly describe three different business models.
2. Select the best business model for your business.
3. Create a short statement explaining why the business model you have
   chosen is the best model for your business. Give at least three
   supporting facts for your choice.
4. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
   1. This course requires use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS).
      The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please
      take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
   2. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
   3. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your
      name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover
      page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Examine the process of innovating and developing ideas and business opportunities.
• Analyze different innovative business models to determine the best model for a specific venture.
• Analyze the management of a successful innovative company.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in entrepreneurship.
• Write clearly and concisely about entrepreneurship using proper writing mechanics.

As you gather and read through your project sources, you should begin building your outline. This week, you are required to submit a substantive outline with your thesis statement and your potential arguments/discussions. This outline should not be a rough draft. It should be at least 2 pages, written in substantive, sentence-format, showing a clear road map of the research you found and how it supports the recommendation you are proposing to resolve the major problem(s) that you identified. It must include at least half of the content for final draft and substantive research materials with at least 5 credible and scholarly sources. Include APA citations for any resources used as references.

Topic I Selected: Immigration Policies

I have selected this topic because I truly believe this is very important situation happening currently in our country that needs help. I think this issue is creating many problems. The president of the United States Donald Triumph is using Immigration as a tool for his re election to the Presidency.Many of our government resources and taxpayers money are being used for the wrong reasons. Immigrants have given the United Stated for many years a stable economy because they work and they pay taxes. Many Families have been divided and even deported for no other reason than we want you out here. Concentration campuses are being created for kids without parents. I believe the laws need to change and just give them the opportunity to work and raise their families. I agree with deportation and detention of people who commit crimes. I am very passionate about this topic because I see that the wrong decisions using the tax money are being taken no to solve the problem but to create horrendous circumstances against human beings.
