Its a bit tougher to get the trade license of a Watch Manufacturing Industry. The law
demands previous involvement on this trade. But this is a disadvantage that we are purely
new in the market.

environment is also a matter of concern for this new sector of manufacturing watches in
Bangladesh.
Environment:
The geographical environment of Bangladesh is quite unstable, as the country faces natural
calamities almost every year and as a result; many businesses get adversely affected. In
terms of the watch manufacturing, the adverse effect of the environment is quite less but
not nil in comparison to other firms. Therefore, the environment can be a matter of concern
for a totally new business to operate in the market.

Porter's five forces is a framework for the industry analysis and business strategy
development developed by Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School in 1979. It draws
upon Industrial Organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the
competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market.
These five forces are:
1. Bargaining Power of Suppliers:
In Bangladesh the market is dominated by a few large suppliers which are international
brands rather than a fragmented source of supply but competition is increasing in this
industry as a result suppliers bargaining power is decreasing day by day. Sometimes there
are some other problems among suppliers such unfair practices of supplies. But still it is a
very good market for suppliers. So, it can be said that the bargaining power of suppliers in
our industry is high.
TimeTech Co.
Page 15
4. Threat of Substitutes:
In this market there is always a big threat of substitutes. In Bangladesh, there are no local
watch manufacturing brands so the people here tend to go with the foreign brands that give
them a feeling of elite. So, there is a high level of threat of substitute here.

SWOT Analysis:
This situation analysis starts with a snapshot of the current environment in which TimeTech
co. finds itself providing a brief SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threat)
analysis. TimeTech co. will be in a favorable position through the whole market because of
its brand name. We can easily understand this by the SWOT analysis. Here we can make
sure that the condition we have to expand, minimize and control. The foremost
concentration is that there are some huge competitors in the market and they actually
maintains and controls the whole market, the price and supply. Most of the traders mainly
collect products from them. The following SWOT analysis captures the key strengths and
weaknesses within the company, and describes the opportunities and threats can be faced
by TimeTech co.

4.1 Products:

As Timetech is targeting to capture the whole market of urban people of the country who
leads standard life, the size of business must be large enough.
We have found 2 locations for our business. One is for our office and another is for our
production.
Addresses of our business:
Timetech head office: House No: 153, Road No: 11, Ground floor, Banani., Dhaka,
Bangladesh.
Timetech plant: Plot no: 37, Road no: 4, Ashuliya Model Town, Savar, Dhaka.
Area & location:
Both the areas are in capital city so the communication will be easy. For the office we have
rent a 2,100 sq ft. flat which is suitable for our head office. Moreover, it is located in a busy
commercial place so that the office can be easily noticed by all. Our plant where we actually
will produce our product is just outside proper Dhaka city but it is very close to the city. As
for the production of Timetech watch we need a large area and for that reason we choose
this land. The locations of our business are equipped with all necessary facilities which are
important for the success and cost efficiency of the business.

Production Processes

Page 28
Mainly, the manufacturing process of our wrist watch will be held at the production plant.
But, initially, the major structure and layout will be designed in our office. Therefore, our
entire production process will be divided in 2 sections.
There will be 1 receptionist, 1 sales & marketing executive, 1 Finance executive, 1
production manager, 1 sales person, 1 accountants in our office to serve the company in the
beginning. The number will be increased by day and also by the development of the
company. In the production plant, there will be manager sitting in the office to make sure
everything is going well, receive the order given by the production manager and convey it to
make things done. There will be 10 workers to receive the orders from manager, arrange
the raw materials and take it to the R & D section and Engineers section. There will be 2
part time researchers and developers who will design the product and 2 part time engineers
to develop the production process. After that the workers will take the raw materials to the
production process. Here there will be around 20 skilled and highly trained watchmakers to
make the watch. The watchmakers must be highly trained because watch making is not for
everybody; it takes time, patience and commitment to make a single piece of watch. After
that the produced watches will be sent to the Quality assurance dept where there will be 2
quality checkers. They will check the quality and send it to the next section packaging. There
will be 5 workers who will work continuously to do the packaging of the product. The
packaging ingredients will be printed in the EVENTS under the observation of Md. Nurul
huda, COO, Events. The office of events is situated in 29/1/2 Toyenbee circular road,
Motijheel C/A, Dhaka. Then the finished goods will be sent to the main office for display and
sell by transportation system of TimeTech co. where there will be 2 workers.
Initially we will produce 500 pieces of the wrist watch within June 2013 as we are going to
start our business in 1st January 2013. As we will be going for mass promotion in the mid of
1st year, our sales are likely to increase by the next few months because there are lots of
events coming right after July specially Eid. Therefore we will increase the amount of
production to 1000 pieces and later on we will make the production as per the market
demand.

10% annually after that.
Market Segmentation:
Since TimeTech co. is doing a business for the people in the society who are very much
fascinated with the fashion, lifestyle and classy people. As our product line is TimeTech
Mens, and TimeTech Womens, so it is clear that our market segmentation is the male and
female who are not child, but who are teen, young and adult. We will make different types
and designs of watches for both the segments.
So, TimeTech co. is basically targeting the city dwellers since it is launching the business in
Dhaka city for the first time. People who belong to a middle class family and upper class
family are the segmented customers for the monthly magazine. These include the people of
cultured society, who are fashion conscious and fascinated with a nice living. These include
people of this particular background of any profession.
If we consider TimeTech co. then we can say, city dwellers having any profession, any family
background can be targeted as customers. Because, people from all walk of life need to
know the exact time for their daily uses. But, specially, for events mostly upper classed
people are targeted.

7.1Pricing:
Price of the wrist watch is set at Tk. 10,000 to Tk. 100,000 for local market. This is a

have subscription online. Also we will be having our very own website of TimeTech co. in
which there will be an archive of the products of TimeTech co. for the segments, recent
designs, reviews, comparisons, history, production line specification, sponsorships etc. Its a
win-win situation for both customers and sponsors.

Initially, the main weakness is that the brand as well as the firm is new in the market.
Besides, the firm has no reputation also. But, any business that makes a start is new in the
market. The thing which differentiates the firm or the brand is, its performance and
quality. Therefore, if the firm operates as per the plan & if the quality of the product &
service is good, then it wont be that tough to make a good first impression about the brand
in the market.
We (The individuals starting the business) are experienced in terms of the type of the work.
But dont have the experience of being entrepreneurs and operating a business. But, as we
are business graduates and have experience in terms of the criteria of the work, therefore it
doesnt seem that we will have much problem making a start as an entrepreneur.
Budgeting, costing and cash inflow is a major concern for the business. But as per the cash
projection is concerned (which is based on real market research of the existing market), it
Page 48
would start to bring some positive effects in the cash inflow within two years from starting
the business; which is indeed the reflection of a good venture to start with.

TimeTech. Our mission is to compete with the established foreign brands existing in the
market; our main vision is to serve the need of the market and to run a profitable business
and our goal is to be the best in our business market. Our mission, vision and goal is tough
to achieve but not impossible. TimeTech is our passion and it would drive use to become
successful entrepreneurs.
Our main strategy is to attach our product with our customers emotion. Our wrist watches
are premium product and the best way to run a successful business of a premium product is
by making the product desire for a customer. Our average expected sell each year is around
16,000,000 taka and our average expected net profit each year is 2000,000 taka. Our initial
investment is 50,000,000 taka. Of this 50,000,000 taka 60% is equity and 40% is debt. We
