9A Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2



The opportunity I had chosen was drone surveillance.

Who:  The people I have come to identify to not needing the opportunity were business who were located around other business for example, those in a shopping mall or in a small plaza. Also people located outside of town.


What: businesses located in a shopping mall or plaza do not see the need for the drone surveillance due to the fact that they may be accused by other business of invading personal space and also because they are surrounded by other businesses who also have cameras meaning that the cameras at other businesses may be able to reach an angle the others cameras cannot reach. People who live outside of town see no need for the drone surveillance because they feel like they are safer living out of town where crime is more likely to happen and because they are unwilling to pay a large amount of money for a surveillance drone.


Why: The difference between the people needing drone surveillance and those not needing surveillance are primarily their location whether it’s outside of town or being in town but surrounded by other businesses, the possibility or upsetting someone due to invasion of privacy and also people just feeling safe enough living outside of town away from the crime.


My findings were not what I expected I believed that everyone would find a need for the opportunity but I didn’t think that many businesses located together in a plaza or shopping mall relied on one another for security and I also did not think an invasion of privacy would have been an issue for the businesses. When interviewing those people outside of town I thought they may need it the most due to the police station being in town and not being able to respond fast enough but I was surprised to find that they actually felt safer outside of town due to crime being less likely to happen.


     
                 Inside the boundary                                                 Outside the Boundary

Who:
Large business that have many stand-alone locations, apartment complexes, condominiums.
Who:
Those located outside of town, businesses who are located in plazas or a shopping mall.
What the need is :
The need is to ensure the safety of employees, customers, those who feel they need extra security because they live in a higher class.
What the need is not:
The opportunity is not needed for those located outside of town because they feel safer living away from town thus being away from the crimes and do not see the need to spend a large amount of money for the drone surveillance and also because businesses are have the possibility of being accused of invading businesses privacy.
Why the need exists:
The need exists because of home invasions, businesses being robbed, and dangerous people.
Alt. explanations:
Drone surveillance seemed unnecessary when talking to people located outside of town because they believe crime is lower and less likely to happen , when interviewing the businesses located in a shopping mall or a plaza they were afraid of possibly being accused of invading another businesses privacy and thought they’re businesses were safe enough with the many cameras that were located at their own business as well as the other businesses

    I think this a really cool idea and would greatly benefit the security of a lot of businesses. Although it would be expensive, it could be a good investment for bigger companies with a large amount of valuable inventory. This would also make homeowners feel very safe, which would make people want to buy it for the peace of mind. You do bring up a good point that businesses located in malls or shopping plazas might not want to make the investment, but I think the idea is worth pursuing for the companies that might be interested.

    I still think this idea is awesome. I understand the invasion of privacy issue and I see how easily it could be over looked, so making sure it isn't an issue before using them is good. I also think there are a lot more markets and that the few people you asked shut the idea down because of their location and how safe they feel. If you went to an area with a higher crime rate, I think this idea would be more appealing!

15A Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No.2

1. For my three people I chose Brett Gill a game warden with FWC, Carl Beiling a farmer with lots of pasture field, and UCSO Officer John Riggs. 2. In Mr. Gill's case what matters most for him is quality, he needs something to take photos/videos in harsh environments well enough to prove a crime is being committed as well as proper evidence for a conviction. For Mr. Beiling his main concern is the price, because he is elderly and the price of cattle fluctuates therefore he prefers to keep his costs low. Officer Riggs actually has two factors in his customer segment both price and quality. Obviously he needs good quality similar to Mr. Gill for recon and catching criminal activity but his second driving force is price this is because it is a small county that has a limited budget that they need to maintain and be mindful of when making these decisions. 3. If Gill were to be looking for the product himself he said it would be more likely of him to buy online. Mr. Gill's equip

29A Venture Concept

Opportunity The opportunity I chose is drone surveillance. Drone surveillance can be used to survey land, keep watch over farms when owners are not available, and assuring businesses that their companies are safe by monitoring the building to watch for any criminal activity. I feel that those who have the need most are business owners, farmers and police but the opportunity is not limited to only these. The nature of the need is security, due to the high number of crime rates and the large amount of land owned by most farmers the opportunity was created. I would say that customers are satisfying this need already by having security systems installed in their homes, businesses, and farms. However unlike most security systems today the drone surveillance is not limited in movement like other cameras, they are able capture an aerial view. Limited movement can hinder the solving of a crime, with drone surveillance more ground is able to be covered. I believe the opportunity is fairl

8A Solving the Problem

1        My selected problem would be limited resources available like cameras with limited movement to monitor an area. 2      I would fix this problem by creating drone surveillance. First I would build a more advanced drone than the typical recreational drone, this would require some engineering to make the drones more damage resistant and stable during flight. Then I would equip the drones with high quality high definition cameras with night vision technology for night surveillance, along with the ability to zoom in and zoom out while taking photos. This would give the opportunity to identify crimes, license plates, and suspects. From here I could sell the drones to certified government agencies, as for the private customers or agencies not willing to but the surveillance drones, I could fix the problem by contracting team of highly skilled professionals with a lot of flying and drone using skills as a service to survey for them and use the drones instead of their own man pow
