1. My name is Hung Ma and I have great communication and leadership skills and I am able to hold conversations or present something in front of people I do not know. I am Publix associate therefore every time I work I see new faces almost everyday and I am perfectly comfortable having conversations with them. My aspirations are to have people be given the chance to utilize resources without any restrictions.
2. I'm offering to my customers an opportunity to cheaply park at the South West Recreation Center during restricted hours without having to pay for a parking permit.
3. My customers would be the students of the University of Florida who utilize the the SW recreation center. More particularly those who live off campus and I do not own a parking decal
4. I believe that they care about this opportunity because often many times college students are willing to pay a little bit of money to make their lives just a little bit easier therefore I believe that cheap meter parking is a great alternative to paying for a parking decal.
5. My core competencies are that the concept is cheap and readily available. These elements fit together perfectly because everyone loves things that are cheap but more importantly they love things that are readily available. If they can use it during a time that is supposed to be restricted then they would be more willing to pay, especially if it is cheap. I think that these core competencies are definitely in joint with the business concept.
The main concerns people have mentioned is how to incorporate this as a business since I technically would be working with the school. I believe the way to fix this is to just work with the school. This is a low profit idea that is catered to helping out college students.
Hi Hung,
ReplyDeleteI think that the basis behind your idea is really good, but my only concern would be how feasible is this idea? For example, would you have to build another parking lot on/near campus or a parking garage? Also, who would be funding the project, and how would you receive money to maintain this business if students don't have to pay for parking? Regardless, the idea is very innovative, and with a little bit more thought into the logistics, I know countless students that would be interested in your services! Great job.

Hung,
ReplyDeleteI think your idea about parking on campus is awesome, but I am not sure how feasible this is. For one, you would not be allowed to build a parking lot anywhere on campus, so it would have to be somewhere off of campus. Secondly, there is already meter parking at Southwest near the museum so you would have a lot of competition. Finally, this would really only be useful for students who do not utilize parking daily. I think you have a good idea, but I would consider finding a different location. Maybe somewhere on the other side of campus? If you want to check out mine the link is below.

Hung,
ReplyDeleteI think your idea is noble, as almost everyone has trouble parking, however, I do not think it is feasible. This campus does not have enough parking for those that live on campus , so I do not think we would be able to accommodate those that do not live on campus. It is also not really fair to have people that do have parking permits pay astronomically to park, while those that do not will get to park for "cheap". So, it is a good idea in theory, it just needs a little more work logistically. If you want, check out my post:http://ament3003.blogspot.com/2016/03/idea-napkin-no-2.html
One of my main issues with this idea is that it is not designed to make revenue, which may be hard to sell to anyone whom would join you in marketing your idea. I think the reason they do not already do this is because it doesn't make as much money for the university and thus would be hard to gain support. The university doesn't always choose to provide better services for students, but they choose to always make money.
