INSERT AN APPROPRIATE TITLE HEREINTRODUCTION
In order to make the world a better place, me and my partners came up with the hunger
problem in Africa for deliverable 1. Hunger is as much a cause as a consequence of the
poverty that keeps families in a vicious cycle from one generation to the next. In other
words, hunger and poverty are connected. Solving hunger is solving poverty. Therefore we
decided to help people in African who are suffering hunger by donating through eft pos
machine.
3. BUSINESS SECTION
3.1 Vision
To help people in African who are suffering hunger.
3.2 Industry Analysis: Eft pos machine donation Industry
Industry: Eft pos machine donation Industry
Force: High/Low: Justification:
Buyer power: High Buyer power is high. There are lots of different
ways to donate your money to the charity like
donating through online shopping on websites
such as Amazon.(http://www.vso.org.uk/get-
involved/different-ways-you-can-donate)
Supplier power: Low Supplier power would be low. As the creator of
this eft pos machine. The only thing we need to
do is that produce them and sell them to
supermarkets like Countdown and dairy shop.

Threat of new entrants: Low The threat of new entrants would be rather low.
As a charitable product, it does not come up with
lots of profit. Therefore, There will not many
businessperson joins in.
Threat of substitutes: Low The threat of substitutes would be rather low. As
long as we sell our machine to some authoritative
and influential charity organizations. Our product
would not be easy to be taken place.
Rivalry among existing
competitors:
Low The rivalry among existing competitors is low
because the speed of development of eft pos
machine is slow. The other eft pos machine
creators innovate on eft pos machine can be very
difficult.
Overall attractiveness of the industry: It is a very unattractive industry if your main goal is
making profit. The reason for this is that our ultimate goal is helping people in Africa who
are suffering hunger but not making money from this. According to my research from
(http://www.redcross.org.uk/Donate-Now/Donation-enquiries/Questions-about-our-costs),
The income for Red Cross in 2013 was even lower than their expenditure.
3.3 Customers and Their Needs
The main customer for us would be supermarkets like Pak’n Save, Countdown, dairy shop
and some entertainment places. Their needs just want eft pos machine to work perfectly as
normal one. Our eft pos machines are built based on it and also provide donation service for
people who want to.
3.4 The Product and Service
There is a donation button on our eft pos machine. After customers complete their shopping
payment, they can press that button, and our machine will shift to the donation system 3
4
automatically. Payments of $5, $10, $15 are being electronically donated. Also if you want
to donate more, just enter the money you would like to and complete it like usual payment
on eft pos. People were using the machines they would have definitely donated more than
they would have if they were using cash.
(http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10910674). That is why
we are not only providing those three options that are the amount of donation.
3.5 Suppliers and Partners
The main partner that the eft pos machine will be collaborating with is Red Cross. The main
reason is we want to make people believe that people’s donation is sent to somewhere
authoritative but not a new personal charity organization. Otherwise people might think
their donation is not used for helping people who are suffering hunger. Also we will work
with banks therefore we can get the address of donators because we will need to notify
them when their donation has been received and transferred to Red Coss
3.6 Strategy: Cost Leadership
On Porter’s Generic Strategies, this eft pos machine would come under Cost Leadership,
because produce a eft pos machine would not cost so much money. The competitive scope
of it would be broad market. The reason for this is that our machine would be sold to
Pak'nSave, Countdown and dairy shop. There are over 160
Countdowns(http://www.countdown.co.nz/about-us/our-company) and 50 Pak’n
Save(http://www.countdown.co.nz/about-us/our-company) across New Zealand. It is a
large market for us.
3.7 Value Chain Activity: Receive and store raw materials
The most important value chain activity for this business is Receive and store raw materials.
Receiving and store raw materials would be the most important value chain activity
considering as the donation is the basic of all charity activities. Our key goal is to help people
get out of suffering hunger and we need donation at first, then we are able to do so.

CONCLUSION
Overall, the actual industry of eft pos machine is not a attractive one and it is hard to
generate revenue. The eft pos machine is mainly aimed to help people who are suffering
hunger in Africa which is definitely as opposed to make money. By donating through eft pos
machine is more convenient than donating cash and coins. Our ultimate goal is charity, we
believe it can help people that suffer hunger badly much more than we expect.
