MGM 3180 BASIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Cereal Jar company was founded on the 20th of September, 2015, with
founding members and fellow shareholders Nor Asma binti Mad Kasim (166609),
Muhammad Fadzly bin Salleh (166768), Normadiah binti Mohd Nordin (167006),
Maisarah binti Roslan (167550), and Najihah Binti Amat Anan (178205). Through meets
inside and outside of our lecture sessions under Madam Siti Rahayu Binti Hussin, we
have devised the vision, mission and logo for our Cereal Jar company on the grounds of
functionality of our product and appeal to our target audience.
Obstacles faced by Cereal Jar would include competition from other food service
companies in the class as well as in other classes. This competition will also be felt from
other, more familiar competitors with similar ideas such as those whom sell bubble rice
with chocolate in jars. We hope to overcome these shortcomings in competition by
offering value for money products which are significantly cheaper than the products
presently available in the market. Time restraints need also be considered as the
shareholders for this company are of multi-disciplinary backgrounds. Differences in time
schedules for classes and any involvement in programs need to be understood and
tolerated between shareholders and a sense of responsibility will need to be instilled
between shareholders if we intend to make Cereal Jar a success.

Financial issues may also arise; lacking of funds to buy more material, especially
if there is more demand than supply. In this case, we may need to increases prices to
cover more costs or look for cheaper alternatives to be used in our product, yet, are still
consistent in quality. Recognition of the product would also need to be addressed as
Cereal Jar is still a new company, which is why we propose using popular social media
sites to promote our product; we will set up a our own Facebook and Whatsapp account
to reach out to a wider spectrum of customers.
Despite the shortcomings and obstacles we may face, the Cereal Jar Company
will trudge on and seek help from various sources such as from our lecturer and from
other companies to further understand on how to apply the knowledge of
entrepreneurship into our group. We hope to gain valuable experience from this endeavor
and hopefully, further expand Cereal Jar even after finishing the course.

Based on the popular foods eaten during breakfast, Cereal Jar incorporates the use
of a myriad of cereal flavours and shapes to not only attract the eyes of potential
customers, but also to fulfill the palates of demanding customers. As more and more food
based companies mushroom across the nation, we intend to trudge on a different path,
uniquely different from food products offered by other companies but sticking to well-
known and familiar methods used by more established food sellers. At Cereal Jar, we
combine different sorts of cereals with different but delicious tastes and shapes, together
with chocolate to give consumers memorable pleasure. All of this, we pack in elegant,
yet, simple glass jars to present a refined eating experience.
Profit will not be our main aim from Cereal Jar, from now or ever. Instead, we
aim to introduce our product at competitive prices not only to gain the upper hand against
the competition, but also to give our potential customers a lighter heart when spending
their hard-earned cash in our product. We hope to instill a spirit of love and passion in
our customers towards Cereal Jar, as much as we have our love and passion for the
company itself. By instilling such a spirit in our customers, we are confident that they
would trust us with the ingredients and materials we use to produce high-quality products
at a reasonable price.
Especially in our infant stages, our profit margin will not be high to first develop
that love and passion in our potential customers into our company. We first need to
establish a loyal and hopeful customer base, not only to have a steady stream of
customers in buying our products but also to have an external pressure on our company to
produce great products that they can look forward to. From this, not only will Cereal Jar
face an internal pressure of producing profit from product, but also to uphold an external
pressure where we need to come up with something our fans would love to have in place
of their well-earned money. Empowerment of customers should be the priority of any
company.
.

The main ingredient for our product cereal in a jar is cereal and chocolate. We

bubbles rice and chocolate as a main ingredient but we use variety cereal with high
quality and delicious chocolate. This is to ensure our customers get the healthy food and
can maintain a good eating habit. As we know, cereal is a healthy food because it can
supply carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins to our bodies. Customer also can taste a
different cereal in a jar because with put four different cereal in a jar.
We do some research to find a wholesaler that can offer cereal, chocolate, ribbon,
spoon and jar at affordable prices. We found the price of the ingredients and tools for our
product almost same for every outlet. To ensure our customer get the highest satisfaction,
we finally only use famous cereal in the market to make sure our customer confident to
buy our product such as Nestle Honeystar, Nestle Milo, Cookie Crisp, and Kellog Choco
Chex.
Next our chocolate, the price of chocolate varies according to different outlet. We
had surveyed our price at Yummies Bakery, Giant, Speedmart and HERO Mart. For
conclusion, our ingredient bought from Yummies bakery for chocolate, cereal from Giant
and spoons from HERO Mart. Since the price is cheapest and the distance is the nearest.
We could save a lot in aspect of cost and transport fees.

The process of our product was making in one day which is weekend. So, all of group
members can contribute on the making process. Usually, were produced our product at 8
pm until 11p.m. We were produced our product based on how much orders on that week.
We will have no official premise for stationary sales as this would only incur additional
costs from rent and equipment needed to set up desks and other equipment needed.
However, we will use the Serumpun Cafe to have our meetings and gatherings to conduct
our work, and also college rooms in Serumpun.
5.3.4 Delivery
The procedure of delivering our product was involved all of group members
which from different colleges (KTP, KMR, K6 and Serumpun). This is because, majority
of our customers are families and friends. We were delivered our product straight away to
the customer‟s hostel after finished it especially customers from UPM. This is because
we want to make sure our customers satisfied with quality of our product. Other than that,
we used that kind of strategy because to make sure that cereals in jar not soggy when it
reach to our customers. Our product was made week by week and only produced on
weekend. We take orders from our customers on weekdays, and start to buy raw materials
and produce our product based on their orders. If we cannot give to them on weekend, we
were giving to them during classes. Our customers not only UPM students but from other
place, so we manage to post our product to them through Post Office to make sure our

different cereal types with the delicious chocolate layers. Other than that, cereal jar can
also be gifted as presents to loved ones and friends. This cereal jar is decorated by us with
colourful ribbons and a spoon to complement the beauty of the glass jar. It is a safe and
healthy food because these cereals are put inside an air tight jar, so these cereals do not
become soggy. We are selling our cereal jar directly to our customers by pre-order
through Facebook and flyers. Once the order has been put in, we will work together to
prepare the cereal jars.
As we know, people, especially students and workers, always skip their meals
because they are busy with their daily work. So, we find an alternative to solve their
problems by introducing our product which is cereal jar. This product is good because it
can be taken anytime and anywhere. They can eat our cereal jar before start the class..
Normally, people have cereal only in the morning, but with cereal jar they can have
cereal any time they want. These scrumptious cereals with delicious chocolate layers will
be packaged in small, air tight jars and can be carried everywhere especially at
workplaces. Our product is the best and quality product for customer especially UPM

selling the same product with our company. Thus, we make a good service for our
customer and make a good relationship with them to convince customers buy from us.
Firstly, we plan to delivery service our product for customers. This includes delivering
the product to the customers „door step‟ and we tried to satisfy customer requirements,
Our product based on cereal and chocolate. The Cereal Jar only uses quality of cereal.

together with chocolate to give consumers memorable pleasure. All of this, we pack in
elegant, yet, simple glass jars to present a refined eating experience. Our selling products
all are handmade. We guaranty the product are good quality, safe and healthy.
Our group member comes from different college. So we decide make a direct selling at
each college like KTP, K6, KMR and K14. We start our direct selling on 30 October
2014. We sold door to door. We also involve ourselves in Entrepreneurship Day Carnival
held by the Faculty of Economy on 25 November 2014. In the carnival day, we realized
that they were people sell the same product with our product. This is more convenient as
many people in faculty economic will pass by there and take a try on our booth. Besides
by direct selling, we also make pre-order for customers who want a different type of
cereal. In this way, we were able to get more potential customers that might buy our
products.
6.2.3 Sanitation
To ensure our products sanitation, each of us who are responsible to prepare the food has
to wear plastic gloves. This act can let customer eliminate their doubt with the hygiene of
food. When we sell our product at carnival an entrepreneur at faculty economy, we
provide a tester for customer. For that, we provide one spoon only for first taste then we
throw away the plastic spoon.

new trend to interact with others. It‟s free, direct, fast, and convenient way to attract
more customers. We also often get feedback from customers through Facebook.

We also faced problem in time management. During do a meeting for the products
preparation, some of our members cannot come because of other commitment such
as join a competition, have replacement class, college activity and some of us came
late due to transportation problems. Therefore, the time requirement to complete the
whole process of making cereal jar was take longer time due to the lack of workers.
What we do is we only make the cereal jar when everybody had free time. So, it is
affair to each member.

We faced is the inadequate supply of large jar from the store. As a result, this lead
to the lower profit gained because we had to substitute about 48 small jars and small
jars give less profit which is approximately RM1.30 per jar. If we are able to sell all
large jars than we will get higher profit or income since each large jar gives us
about RM2 of profit. We learned that we need to find more than one reliable
supplier to run our business. This is to ensure the smooth business activity and to
ensure that the profit can be maximized as possible.
| CEREAL JAR COMPANY: FINAL REPORT| 36
MGM 3180 BASIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Planning a business
During taking this subject, we have learned how to plan a business. We have
defined our business, for example, we will clarify what product we want to sell,
who our customer, how to be different product, what is our price that should we put
to our product and what is our primary competitive advantage. A good start of
business always comes with a nice plan. If we have a better plan, we can prevent
ourselves from doing mistake that cause any undesired deficit or unwanted wastage
in materials. A good plan includes a well organized functioning group and a group
of productive workers.
We learned that it is very important to have a financial report for a business because
from that report we will be able to estimate the future state of our business and to
find chance for business expansion or growth. Financial report also vital in order to
ensure that the cash inflow and outflow is happening in a way that it should be, and
not bringing any lost to the company. We can monitor the company financial state
very efficient when we have all these financial statements.
Social skills
A good social skill helps in promoting our company and also helps in finding
solution for problem that encountered. Friends around us always appear for a
reason, we might not know why and how in that moment but friends will give
suggestion and help if they are capable to. For example, during Entrepreneurship
Day at Faculty Economy we do a good communication skill to ask customer buy
our Cereal Jar. As a result, on that day we sold 150 jars
Problem solving
During our business, we learned make a solution when facing problems. When we
know that there are some business selling the same product with us and selling at
the same place, we have decided to change our plan that we have planned well at
the beginning. A company necessary has 'plan back-up' respectively as preparation
in case face problem.
Spirit of teamwork
Teamwork is the key to success, a quality and productive team makes big different
to the others. When we have a strength spirit of teamwork, all planning for business
will run smoothly without any problem. As a team, we believed that everyone will
do their job with their best effort, therefore our job are always done, that satisfy us.
Be different
9.0 Conclusion
When we understand who our customers are and what are their demands, proper
planning of how the business should be developed and executed need to be done. Matters
such as having the proper company identity example name and logo of the company,
vision, mission and money flow need to be carefully planned out so as to have the highest
efficiency in achieving our targets. Potential threats and faults can also be predicted and
overcome with meticulous planning, as well as having a clearer picture of how the
company business will be run.
Through this course, we have also learnt the importance of determination and will
to carry on with our business. We have learnt the proper attitude to be implemented to
become successful entrepreneurs and the sacrifices it takes to be one.
In the end, we believe that MGM3180 has instilled the right ideologies and
practices for us, as students of University Putra Malaysia, to take one step further in
becoming a successful entrepreneur. Or at least, to consider it.
