  • Anyone-Can-Do-It-Building-Coffee
    36 ANYONE CAN DO IT MARKET RESEARCH 37 CHAPTER THREE: MARKET RESEARCH TURNING THE IDEA INTO A BUSINESS So you’ve got a great idea for starting a business and you feel confident in your vision. The reality, however, is that you’re no more than .01% of the way down the road to entrepreneurship. Gut instinct has got you on the road, but conviction is what you will now need to employ to follow it successfully. Almost all of us, at some stage in our lives, have dreamed of starting our own business but very few of us are able to turn the dream into a concrete reality. The fundamental reason for this is that progress almost inevitably stalls at the ‘idea stage’, that point where a business light bulb has to leave the comfort of the imagination and enter into the real world. “If everyone who has talked about starting a business actually went out and did it, the whole nation would be self-employed. But most people would rather fantasize about it than do it.” - MARK McCORMACK, author of What they don’t teach you at Harvard Business School Law 16: An idea not acted upon is worthless Since we started Coffee Republic, countless people have told us that they had the same idea that we did, in a great many cases even before us. They, too, had been to the United States and had indulged in the coffee bar experience that so captured our own imaginations. On their return to England, they had pondered 38 ANYONE CAN DO IT MARKET RESEARCH 39 the idea of opening a similar concept in the UK.

  • HO CHI MINH CITY Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    HO CHI MINH CITY Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Ho Chi Minh City | 2019 0 Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) formerly known as Saigon, is the largest city in Vietnam with a total population of 8.6 million people (as of 2018). The city is Vietnam’s economic center, accounting for a large proportion of the national economy. In 2018, the city contributed nearly a quarter (or 24%) of the national total GDP. HCMC’s 2016 GDP per capita (the highest in Vietnam) was estimated at US$7,000 – as much as twice the national GDP per capita (US$2,340). HCMC has seen the strongest retail property performance in Vietnam. The total retail supply across shopping centers, department stores and retail podiums in the city is estimated at 1,340,000 sqm in net leasable area. The city is often the first point of entry for retailers new to Vietnam, due to its young, dynamic economy and also the lifestyle of its citizens. Many international brands started in Ho Chi Minh City including Gucci, Zara, H&M, Hermes, Bottega Veneta, Max & Co, Dorothy Perkins, Humphrey, F&F, Coach, Penshoppe and Under Amour among others. Additionally, an increasing number of retailers are looking to enter the market in the near future. HCMC is a multinational city with a diverse food and beverage offer. In the prime CBD (central business district), it is very convenient to locate a Western, Chinese, Korean or Japanese restaurant. Traditional local cuisine is also in abundance whether in low-cost single dish style street kitchens or more upmarket authentic restaurants.

  • Reconstructing the Coffee Republic: Development and Colonialism in Timor-Leste Damian Grenfell, RMIT University Development Bull
    1 Reconstructing the Coffee Republic: Development and Colonialism in Timor-Leste Damian Grenfell, RMIT University Development Bulletin, No. 68, October 2005, pp. 83-86. Introduction In late 2003 the coffee chain Starbucks ran large colour advertisements in a major Australian newspaper. With a trademark reading ‘Starbucks: romancing the bean’ the advertisement was presented as if on coffee coloured parchment and cloth, with coffee beans scattered across the page. After eulogising the social impact of Starbucks in the Chiapas, the advertisement commented on how the company pays an additional premium for quality coffee. ‘Why? So it can help fund health and education projects’ in places such as Timor-Leste. The advertisement asked ‘Is there a people anywhere who deserve a break more than the Timorese?’ and in answering went on to claim that Starbucks helped build and equip a health clinic in Timor-Leste (The Age 2003). Culture and history of coffee The fact that the coffee cherry is represented on the country’s new 50 cent coin gives some indication of the importance of coffee in Timor-Leste. Coffee is grown throughout the republic, concentrated in Ermera, Liquica, Ainaro, and Aileu districts. The majority of the crop is grown for export trade, although it is a popular local drink. Growers sell coffee either as the red cherry, parchment, or final green bean, as little roasting is undertaken within Timor- Leste. In the complex and wrenching reconstruction process on the scale of Timor-Leste, there is enormous variation in how aid and development projects are enacted. In the coffee industry, some NGO-style organisations work with East Timorese communities while other ventures are purely commercial in nature.

Introduction In February, the Instituto Nacional de Estatística (Portuguese Statistics Institute) disclosed its estimate for 2016, which projected a growth in the Portuguese economy of 1.4%, attributing the acceleration in GDP seen in the last quarter to the increase in the contribution from domestic demand, as a result of investment recovery and a more pronounced growth in private consumption. As such, the positive trend was consolidated, with an impact on the Ibersol Group's performance, as private consumption heightened in a quarter that by nature is very important for Modern Restaurant Services.

  • Hotel Restaurant and Institutional Food Service Romania Romania
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 3/13/2017 GAIN Report Number: RO 1705 Romania Post: Bucharest Hotel Restaurant and Institutional Food Service Romania Report Categories: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional Approved By: Russ Nicely, Agricultural Attaché Prepared By: Ioana Stoenescu, Marketing Specialist Report Highlights: This report contains information about Romania’s Hospitality, Restaurant and Institutional food service industry. Romania's food sector will be a regional leader over the next five years, driven by an improving labor market, real wage growth and low levels of inflation. The report includes information about market entry strategy, opportunities and key distribution channels for U.S. food and beverage products offered for food service. General Information: I. MARKET SUMMARY Romania has been a member of the EU since 2007 and a member of NATO since 2004. Within the 28 EU countries, Romania has the seventh largest population, with 19.5 million inhabitants. Romania is presently a market with outstanding potential, a strategic location, and an increasingly solid business climate. Although there is the need for an exporter to evaluate the market in order to assess the business opportunities, exporting to Romania is steadily becoming less challenging than in previous years in terms of the predictability of the business environment. Economic growth in Romania is among the highest in the EU and is forecast to remain strong in 2017. The current macroeconomic outlook is stable. Real GDP growth rate was 3.8 percent in 2015, one of the highest in the EU 28, and is expected to maintain its positive trend.
