1. Venu suggested his friend Shyam to start a Gym in his out house. He thought that the building is available at a cheaper price and it would reduce the investment. However his friend refused the idea giving various factors mentioning that it is a bad idea. Finally Venu agreed that it is true. Imagine yourself in the shoe’s of Shyam and brief about why you do not want to start a Gym in the outhouse. Watch Video🎥
Starting a Gym in the outhouse is not a potential business idea. A business opportunity refers to an idea that can be economically exploited into a successful venture, generate profits and have potential growth possibilities. However the idea in this case lack the following elements of a potential business opportunity.
1. Guaranteed market: As the Gym is located near the outhouse there are very number of houses near by. So, the number of customers joining the Gym will be very less. If the concept of the Gym is highly innovative, very few people might join from far off places. However, as they have to travel a whole lot of distance, they might drop off over a period of time. Moreover, there are number of Gyms in the city limits and people might prefer joining them.
2. A profitable ROI (return on investment): As the number of customers joining the Gym are very less in number, the business may not be so profitable and it is likely to get into losses and may not last long.
3. Practicability: As the investment to purchase the fitness equipment is huge, the entrepreneur may have to procure investments. However due to low possibility of success, the investors may not be willing to put their money into this business.
4. Competence of the entrepreneur: It will be very difficult to procure customers and make them stay with the Gym. The competence of the entrepreneur may not be sufficient because the Gyms within the city limits will grab all the market and people may not be willing to travel lot of distance. It is also possible that they end up spending more time traveling than the time they spend in the Gym working out.
5. Growth prospects: Even in the future there is very less possibility that the area will have lot of residential houses which might increase its marketability and bring more customers for the business.
All the above factors will not support the starting of a new Gym in the out house. So, this is not a potential business opportunity and if started without considering all these factors it is likely to be a failure.

The various environment factors involved in the micro and macro environment influence upon each other and act together. An enterprise is completely dependent on this factors and the way the enterprise deals with these factors contribute and influence its success. Market in otherwords is defined as the effective relation maintained by the buyers and sellers. The forces of demand directly influence the demand and supply. They thus have a great influence on the buyers and sellers and play a significant role in determining the competitive prices and the supply of the goods into the market.
For instance the micro environmental factors like
a.
Producer/seller is directly dependent on the buyer.
b.
The customers will not be able to purchase if the seller is not available.
c.
The competitors have a direct influence on the price and the quality of the product.
d.
The production will halt if the suppliers are not responding on time.
e.
The flow of the goods is not possible in the absence of marketing intermediaries.
Thus all these micro economic factors are dependent on each other and directly influence the market.

For the organizations to retain their customers and stay ahead of the competition they need to adapt the changes in the environment. For instance, if they do not adapt the latest technology, the market will be in favour of the competitors and the production cost will be very high. So, the organizations should quickly adapt the latest changes in the technology. For this they need to constantly scan the environment and adapt the changes taking place in the market. They should continuously keep on gathering the information about the various environmental factors and change their internal processes in accordance with the changes in the environmental factors. Their ability to gather the required information, analyze and adapt to the changes will determine their future prospects. On the otherhand ignoring the changes taking place in the environment will result in a failure.
Thus we can say that for sustaining, the organizations should adapt.
