A business idea becomes a good business opportunity when it covers which four of the following? 1. Attractiveness 2. Foreign collaborations 3. Political support 4. Timelines 5. Durability 6. Value addition to end user.
Correct Answer: Option C — 1, 4, 5 and 6
Detailed Academic Explanation:
A good business opportunity isn't just about having a cool idea; it needs several key elements. Let's break it down based on the options. 1. Attractiveness: This is essential because your idea needs to appeal to customers. If they don't find it appealing, they won't want to buy it. 2. Foreign collaborations: While collaborations can help, they're not essential for every great business idea. Many businesses succeed without needing foreign partnerships. 3. Political support: Government support can be useful, but a business can still thrive without it. Many successful businesses started and grew without government backing. 4. Timelines: A good business opportunity needs to be launched and scaled within a reasonable timeframe. A delayed launch could cause you to miss out on key market opportunities. 5. Durability: The longevity of the idea matters. Will your business remain relevant and profitable in the future? It’s essential that your idea lasts over time. 6. Value addition to the end-user: This is crucial! If your business offers something truly useful or valuable to people, it’s more likely to succeed. Thus, Option C (1, 4, 5, and 6) is the correct choice. A successful business opportunity needs to attract customers, be timely, have durability, and offer value to the user.

Which one of the following is a barriers to news product creation and development
Correct Answer: Option C — Opportunity cost
Detailed Academic Explanation:
Opportunity cost can act as a barrier to new product creation and development because organizations must decide how to allocate limited resources such as money, time, employees, and technology. When a company invests its resources in developing a new product , it gives up the opportunity to use those same resources for other potentially profitable projects. This sacrificed alternative is known as the opportunity cost . Option A: Trial and error — This is generally a method used during product development and experimentation, not a barrier itself. Option B: Opportunity parameter — This is not a commonly recognized barrier to new product creation and development. Option C: Opportunity cost — Correct. The cost of giving up alternative opportunities can discourage organizations from investing resources in new product development. Option D: Intrapreneurship culture — A strong intrapreneurship culture generally supports innovation and encourages employees to develop new products and ideas.
