HTC by Matthew Appleton

This business may have estimatedtheir revenue by looking at past results and comparing their curent prices and products with the prices and products of their competitors. This will allow them to see into the minds of their customers and tell them if they should increase funds in advertisements or lower their prices.

For the development period, the company needs to be able to accommodate a loss and afford to fund the product itelf. The product may, upon launch, continue to be a loss for the business (advertisements, press conferences, events) until the growth phase. At this point, the incme should raise and reasult in profit for the business. As a result of this cycle, the business is in bigger tension in the risky period of development and especially launch.

An objective needs to be realistic, achievable and take into account the resources available. An example would be to impriove their market share standing by 15% in the next year. In a start up business, objectives would mainly revolve around starting success.

To add value to a product, the company could include an extra feature, such as improve the HD screen. For a cheaper addition in value, the company could incluie a deal, such as HTCs current free 25GB offer.
