REFLECTION: 
   
  I did not see this assignment as being a challenge when I was reading it over. Thinking to myself that there's "problems everywhere" and "could be fixed or made better." But when I started compiling the list, things did not naturally flow into my head as I anticipated. Being aware of this, I stepped away from the laptop and allowed things to naturally come to my attention throughout my day to day routine that didn't seam efficient or "right" in the world. A lot of the things I came up with were realized when I was laying in bed at night, traveling to and from class/work, and hanging out with friends. Overall, I did enjoy the assignment for the fact that it pushed me to critical think about why things are a certain way.

    I like that so many of your "bugs" are issues we all could face on any given day. I also like how you brought up some bigger picture issues as well since these can be harder to come up with viable business solutions for. I had a similar experience when I thought this assignment would be very quick and easy but the ideas did not come as easily as I hoped, but after I stop trying to think of new "bugs" and just let myself experience them in my daily life it was a lot easier.

29A Venture Concept #2

Image
Opportunity - Thousands of young professionals commute to and from the city by car each and everyday. When a traffic jam occurs during their commute, this sets them back and holds their day in limbo. Causing them to miss their flights, show up late to their meetings, and overall cause an inconvenience that puts a burden on them for the rest of the day. Not to mention, traffic jams also affect families traveling on vacation, truck drivers, and emergency vehicles. There is no real way to solve this problem other than taking an alternate root or just finding things to do in traffic while the jam clears up. Innovation - My suggestion and business idea that I believe would help ease the burden of traffic jams is developing a separate roadway that runs parallel to the major highway systems. When a traffic jam happens or roads show overall congestion, the roadway will open to the public. Individuals can access this road way for one time fee of $25...

Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No.2

My 3 Interviews: Interview 1:                  Question: What are your alternatives when deciding to purchase something? Does the price come into play? Quality? Style?                 Colten: "When I am making a purchase, I see things as how many uses can I extract out of the product. For instance, I would much rather choose to spend $150 on a leather wallet that will last for years over a cotton one that will get me 6 months of use if I am lucky. So I would say the quality of the product is something that I highly take into consideration. I'm happy to spend the money if I get what I pay for."                Question: Do you more so purchase your goods online or going to the store? Do you prefer to finance them or pay all in cash?                 Colten:"It depends on the item, at home items I choose to just sub...
