Communication Technology
For easy communication and wider business connections we will utilize modern facilities such as computers, internet, telephone, fax machine etc.
Utilities
Proper and necessary utilities will be arranged for our project. We will use water, gas and power as utilities.
Product Technology
We would use both nanotechnology and neon technology for producing our product. Anyway Buckminsterfullerene C60, also known as the buckyball, is a representative member of the carbon structures known as fullerenes. Members of the fullerene family are a major subject of research falling under the nanotechnology umbrella.
Although nanotechnology is a relatively recent development in scientific research, the development of its central concepts happened over a longer period of time. The early 2000s also saw the beginnings of commercial applications of nanotechnology, although these were limited to bulk applications of nano materials, such as the Silver Nano platform for using silver nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent, nanoparticle-based transparent sunscreens, and carbon nanotubes for stain-resistant textiles.
Fundamental concepts
Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced. In its original sense, nanotechnology refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.
One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10−9, of a meter. By comparison, typical carbon-carbon bond lengths, or the spacing between these atoms in a molecule, are in the range 0.12–0.15 nm, and a DNA double-helix has a diameter around 2 nm. On the other hand, the smallest cellular life-forms, the bacteria of the genus Mycoplasma, are around 200 nm in length.
The upper limit is more or less arbitrary but is around the size that phenomena not observed in larger structures start to become apparent and can be made use of in the nano device. These new phenomena make nanotechnology distinct from devices which are merely miniaturised versions of an equivalent macroscopic device; such devices are on a larger scale and come under the description of microtechnology.
Two main approaches are used in nanotechnology. In the “bottom-up” approach, materials and devices are built from molecular components which assemble themselves chemically by principles of molecular recognition. In the “top-down” approach, nano-objects are constructed from larger entities without atomic-level control.
Industry Analysis in Domestic Market
Industry analysis is a tool that facilitates a company’s understanding of its position relative to other companies that produce similar products or services. Understanding the forces at work in the overall industry is an important component of effective strategic planning. Industry analysis enables small business owners to identify the threats and opportunities facing their businesses, and to focus their resources on developing unique capabilities that could lead to a competitive advantage.
EASE OF ENTRY
Ease of entry refers to how easy or difficult it is for a new firm to begin competing in the industry. The ease of entry into an industry is important because it determines the likelihood that a company will face new competitors. In industries that are easy to enter, sources of competitive advantage tend to wane quickly. On the other hand, in industries that are difficult to enter, sources of competitive advantage last longer, and firms also tend to benefit from having a constant set of competitors. For globalization, market is too much broad now. That’s why GNP Ltd. wants to enter this market with high financial support and quite new technology. So that they can sustain and grasp the market.
POWER OF SUPPLIERS
Suppliers can gain bargaining power within an industry through a number of different situations. Supplier power can affect the relationship between a small business and its customers by influencing the quality and price of the final product. “All of these factors combined will affect our ability to compete,” Cook noted. “They will impact our ability to use our supplier relationship to establish competitive advantages with our customers.” For that reason this firm(GNP Ltd.) is decided to established its main production house and research center in foreign country. So that this firm can maintain a good relation with its suppliers as well as to reduce the production cost.
POWER OF BUYERS
The reverse situation occurs when bargaining power rests in the hands of buyers. Powerful buyers can exert pressure on small businesses by demanding lower prices, higher quality, or additional services, or by playing competitors off one another. The power of buyers tends to increase when single customers account for large volumes of the business’s product, when a substitutes are available for the product, when the costs associated with switching suppliers are low, and when buyers possess the resources to move backward in the chain of distribution. Actually, GNP Ltd. Is the first mover for that kind of product in the present market. Besides, a need is created among the customer (specially industrial sector) for this type of product, some days ago and that is increasing day by day in the world.
AVAILABILITY OF SUBSTITUTES
“All firms in an industry are competing, in a broad sense, with industries producing substitute products. Substitutes limit the potential returns of an industry by placing a ceiling on the prices firms in the industry can profitably charge,” Porter explained. Product substitution occurs when a small business’s customer comes to believe that a similar product can perform the same function at a better price. The main defense available against substitution is product differentiation. By forming a deep understanding of the customer, some companies are able to create demand specifically for their products. But in case of Power S-distributing Panel, it is too difficult to create its substitute easily.
COMPETITORS
“The battle we wage against competitors is one of the strongest industry forces with which we contend,” according to Cook. Competitive battles can take the form of price wars, advertising campaigns, new product introductions, or expanded service offerings—all of which can reduce the profitability of firms within an industry. Anyway, now given competitive analysis on the below on the basis of Bangladeshi market of that industry.
Competitive Analysis
or a local or regional business assessing the competition often is best completed initially by the client under our direction with our review, comments, and edits. We specialize in research that can establish the competition either locally, regionally, or nationally, depending on the goals and objectives of a particular energy product business plan.
Once we have established the Service Area and then completed the Competitive Analysis and Market Share, we can then establish a Market Penetration Rate. The Market Penetration Rate is defined as a series of logical assumptions that determines what percentage of customers or consumers will utilize our business service(s) and/or business product(s) within our service area over a period of time and is closely aligned to our business plan.
Existing Competitor:
PA-File Plant company:
There are many PA-File Plant industries available in Bangladesh now. The companies which are direct competitor in our company are given below:
- i. PDB Bangladesh
- ii. Elite Power Technology Ltd.
- iii. Siemens Bangladesh
- iv. Allied Energy Ltd.
- v. Power Solution Trading Company
Strength:
All of these companies are existing company. The main strength of these companies is they have already captured their market share. Beside they have produced lot of products. Also they have introduced lot of power system. Like PA-File, Photovoltaic Systems, Solar Panel Mounting Systems etc.
Weakness:
Though all of these are existing companies, they have some weakness. Their plant installation cost is very high in the basis of our company. Besides, these firms are used existing plant technology. Their panel is not portable and also fixed size. But our product is portable and reassemble size.
Potential Competitor:
Generator company
PD-Plant company
They are not our direct competitor. But they have some affect in the market. Like
- i. Rahimafrooz
- ii. PDB Bangladesh
- iii. Sunshine Electric Company Ltd.
- iv. Fujian Power Ltd
- v. Power Solution Trading Company
Market Share
This step is appropriated only for domestic market (Bangladesh). Now shows two graphical presentations to present our market share. Investors look at market share increases and decreases carefully because they can be a sign of the relative competitiveness of the company’s products or services. As the total market for a product or service grows, a company that is maintaining its market share is growing revenues at the same rate as the total market.
A company that is growing its market share will be growing its revenues faster than its competitors. Market share can be defined as the percentage of all sales within a market that is held by one brand / product or company. Market share can be measured in several ways. However, the one most important measure is by:
– Sales revenue
– Sales volume (the number of units sold)
Examples of market share
Period: Accounting period from1st July, 2010 to 30th June, 2011
Market share information on the China retail market (power distributing product) is summarized below:
“Although market share is likely the single most important marketing metric, there is no generally acknowledged best method for calculating it. This is unfortunate, as different methods may yield not only different computations of market share at a given moment, but also widely divergent trends over time. The reasons for these disparities include variations in the lenses through which share is viewed (units versus dollars), where in the channel the measurements are taken (shipments from manufacturers versus consumer purchases), market definition (scope of the competitive universe), and measurement error.”
Location analysis
here has been a growing interest among the academia and the private sector for the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) techniques in the analysis and planning of retail store network. Over the past few decades the methodologies used for research of sighting of retail outlets have become more sophisticated as a result of applicable modeling procedures being developed with GIS. This study conducts a retail location analysis of the relationship between the company offerings and customer behavior and socio-economic factors of their respective catchments areas(trade area).
The socio-economic profiles in the partitioned polygons have been analyzed with a series of regression models. The result of the study has brought out a better understanding of how location factors influence the performance of the stores as well as how the socio-economic attributes of the catchments areas affect the store revenues. To consider these factors GNP Ltd. has selected a dynamic location at Dhaka city in Bangladesh. Now the trading point is shown through a layout.
Location
The ideal location for such project must be inside of the Dhaka city and the place must be located within closer proximity of the airport to reduce the transportation cost and other costs such as taxes. Again it has to be well connected with highway road communication. Considering all this factors we have chosen a suitable place for the proposed Green Neon Power firm at Bashundhara in Dhaka.
Layout Pattern
We have required almost 18000 sqm to facilitate our production process. It is a single floor plane. The important particulars are given below-
Marketing strategy
Marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to concentrate its limited resources on the greatest opportunities to increase sales and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. A marketing strategy should be centered on the key concept that customer satisfaction is the main goal.
Our marketing strategy is based on becoming the potential choice for consumers in the power market. Our marketing strategy is based on superior performance in the following areas-
- Product quality.
- Product price.
- Product Availability.
SWOT analysis is very essential elements for any organization. In any company’s project analysis, the most important part is the SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis consists of two parts.
- Internal Analysis.
- External Analysis.
Internal analysis refers to the internal situations that are prevailing and their impacts. They usually come along with the strengths & weaknesses. If it is within the company then they will fall under these two categories.

Responsibility
Social responsibility is a concept whereby organizations consider the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact of organization activities on customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, communities and other stakeholders, as well as the environment. This obligation is seen to extend beyond the statutory obligation to comply with legislation and sees organizations voluntarily taking further steps to improve the quality of life for employees and their families as well as for the local community and society at large. Corporations may be influenced to adopt SR practices by several drivers. These are:
- • Ethical consumerism
- • Globalization and market forces
- • Social awareness and education
- • Ethics training
- • Laws and regulation
- • Crises and their consequences
Our firm and social responsibility
The corporate and social responsibility that our company follows is given bellow:
Business Ethics
Business ethics is a form of the art of applied ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business environment. In the increasingly conscience-focused marketplaces of the 21st century, the demand for more ethical business processes and actions is increasing. For that’s why our firm are very concern about ethical issue. Our project maintains all laws and social consideration.
Approaches
An approach for SR that is becoming more widely accepted is community-based development projects. A more common approach of SR is through the giving of aid to local organizations and impoverished communities in developing countries. We have some approaches. These are Early Learning Centre to help educate the community’s children, education facilities for adults, as well as HIV/AIDS education program.
Environmental Impact of the project
Taking responsibility for its impact on society means in the first instance that a company accounts for its actions. Social accounting, a concept describing the communication of social and environmental effects of a company’s economic actions to particular interest groups within society and to society at large, is thus an important element of SR.
Our project is very concern about the impact on society of the action of this project. We have a regulatory committee which gives periodic report of social impact.
Contribution towards the Economy
The scale and nature of the benefits of SR for an organization can vary depending on the nature of the enterprise. However, businesses may not be looking at short-run financial returns when developing their SR strategy. Our project works out of our long run benefit and often include charitable efforts and volunteering. Our CSR based within the human resources, business development or public relations departments of an organization.
SR and the nature of business
orporations exist to provide products and/or services that produce profits for their shareholders. Only people can have social responsibilities, corporations are only responsible to their shareholders and not to society as a whole. Although we accept that corporations should obey the laws of the countries within which they work and hold that the economy exists to serve human beings, so all economic entities have an obligation to society. Moreover our SR proponents point out that SR can significantly improve long-term corporate profitability because it reduces risks and inefficiencies while offering a host of potential benefits such as enhanced brand reputation and employee engagement.
