    Although building a business plan does not guarantee an entrepreneur's success, it does increase his or her chances of succeeding in business.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Building a business plan increases an entrepreneur's chances of succeeding in business because it helps them clarify their goals, identify potential challenges, and develop strategies to overcome them. A well-thought-out plan provides a roadmap for the entrepreneur to follow, making it easier to stay focused and make informed decisions. It also allows them to communicate their vision to potential investors or partners, increasing their chances of securing funding or support. While a business plan cannot guarantee success, it significantly improves an entrepreneur's likelihood of achieving their goals.

    • 10

    • 20-40

    • 40-75

    • 75-100

    Correct Answer
    A. 10
    Explanation
    A business plan should ideally be about 10 pages in length. This is because a concise and focused plan is more likely to be read and understood by potential investors or stakeholders. A shorter plan also forces the entrepreneur to prioritize and include only the most important and relevant information. Additionally, a shorter plan is easier to update and modify as the business evolves.

A sustainable advantage allows a business to maintain its market share and profitability in the long run, as it is built on durable and valuable resources, capabilities, or strategies. This ensures that the business can withstand challenges, changes in the market, and the emergence of new competitors, ultimately leading to continued success.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in recent years, there has been a significant shift in the economy where intellectual capital has become more valuable than financial capital. This means that entrepreneurs now need to focus on developing and leveraging their knowledge, skills, and innovative ideas in order to succeed in the business world.

    • The most important of the key success factors is location.

    Correct Answer
    A. Your company's most vulnerable point against these two competitors is in the area of on-time delivery.
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because it identifies the specific weakness of the company in comparison to the two competitors. It states that the company is most vulnerable in the area of on-time delivery, suggesting that the competitors are stronger in this aspect. This weakness can have a significant impact on the company's performance and customer satisfaction, making it an important factor to address in order to compete effectively.

    • Mission statements

    Correct Answer

    Correct Answer
    A. Direct
    Explanation
    Direct competitors are those who offer the same products and services as your business.

    ________ are the broad, long-range attributes the small business seeks to accomplish; ________ are the more specific targets for performance.

    • Goals; objectives

    • Goals; strategies

    • Objectives; goals

    • Strategies; goals

    Correct Answer
    A. Goals; objectives
    Explanation
    In this context, goals refer to the broad, long-range attributes that a small business aims to achieve. These goals provide a general direction and overall purpose for the business. On the other hand, objectives are more specific targets for performance that are set to support and fulfill the goals. Objectives are measurable, time-bound, and serve as milestones or steps towards achieving the broader goals. Therefore, goals and objectives work together, with goals providing the overarching vision and objectives defining the specific actions and outcomes needed to reach that vision.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Large companies do not necessarily have a natural advantage over small firms when it comes to preparing a strategic plan. While large companies may have more resources and access to greater amounts of data, small firms can often be more agile and flexible in their decision-making processes. Small firms may also have a closer connection to their customers and a better understanding of their specific needs. Ultimately, the advantage in strategic planning depends on the specific circumstances and capabilities of each company, regardless of its size.

    The most effective business plans follow the "cookie cutter approach," following the standard format most preferred by lenders and investors.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the answer "False" is that the most effective business plans do not necessarily follow a cookie cutter approach. While it is important to have a clear and organized format that lenders and investors can easily understand, a successful business plan should also be tailored to the specific needs and goals of the business. A one-size-fits-all approach may not effectively showcase the unique aspects and potential of a business, making it less appealing to lenders and investors. Therefore, it is important to customize the business plan to stand out and demonstrate the business's value proposition.

    • Realistic, yet challenging

    • Measurable

    • General

    • Timely

    Correct Answer
    A. General

    A(n) ________ competitor offers the same or similar products or services only in a small number of areas, and their target customers seldom overlap yours.

    • Indirect competitor

    • Direct

    • Parallel

    • Divergent

    Correct Answer
    A. Indirect competitor
    Explanation
    An indirect competitor refers to a business that offers similar products or services but operates in a different market or serves a different target audience. They may have some overlap in terms of products or services, but their target customers seldom coincide with yours. This means that they are not directly competing for the same customers in the same areas, making them an indirect competitor.

    Which of the following is not one of the three components of intellectual capital?

    • Human

    • Structural

    • Competitor

    • Customer

    Correct Answer
    A. Competitor
    Explanation
    The three components of intellectual capital are typically considered to be human capital, structural capital, and customer capital. These components refer to the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the workforce, the organizational structures and processes that support knowledge creation and sharing, and the relationships and loyalty of customers, respectively. Competitor capital, on the other hand, is not commonly recognized as a component of intellectual capital. While understanding and monitoring competitors is important for strategic decision-making, it is not considered a direct component of intellectual capital.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

     "Big box retailers" present an opportunity for many small business owners.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that "big box retailers" present an opportunity for small business owners, but the correct answer is false. This means that big box retailers do not provide an opportunity for small business owners. The explanation for this could be that big box retailers often have significant market dominance, economies of scale, and lower prices, which can make it difficult for small businesses to compete and thrive in the same market. Additionally, big box retailers may have more resources and bargaining power, making it challenging for small businesses to negotiate favorable terms or secure shelf space in these retail environments.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    The executive summary serves as the thesis statement for the entire business plan.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The executive summary does not serve as the thesis statement for the entire business plan. While the executive summary provides a brief overview of the business plan, it is not the same as a thesis statement. A thesis statement typically appears in academic writing and presents the main argument or point of the paper. In a business plan, the executive summary summarizes the key points and goals of the plan, but it does not function as a thesis statement.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    The ideal strategic planning process for a small company should start with setting objectives.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The ideal strategic planning process for a small company should not necessarily start with setting objectives. While setting objectives is an important step in strategic planning, it is not always the first step. The process may begin with conducting a SWOT analysis or assessing the company's current situation before setting objectives. Therefore, the statement is false.
