( Key Performance Indicator , KPI). The services provided by professional market researchers are too expensive to conduct relevant benchmark research for start- ups . As a result, new businesses must conduct competitor analysis. This means seeking information about competing businesses in terms of pricing, service, logistics, product warranties, and other factors. Business Planning 1. Get Started Easily Late in the last ten years, a new business planning method— lean start- up —has emerged. People who support this movement encourage the use of different business planning methods and explain why writing business plans should be avoided. The basic principle of lean start- up is less planning and more product experimentation to meet consumer needs as quickly as possible. The short slogan is, "Dare to try, and if you fail, start over."

Think Big, Start Small: Viability Strategies for Startups and SMEs By: Edo Dwi Budget Think Big
B
Based on the data I collected, thinking big means giving yourself the freedom to brainstorm and explore ideas that can drive change. That's pretty esoteric, but in practice, this could mean: • Daydream about your future • Reflect on your role in the direction of your company and where you want to take it both ways • Ponder what it takes to get ahead of the competition or jump to the next career level • Reflect on what activities are actually important in your life • Reasons to be creative Results from a review of laboratory and field studies on the impact of goal setting on performance show that in 90% of the studies, specific and challenging goals resulted in higher performance than easy goals, “do your best” goals, or no goals. Goals influence performance by directing attention, mobilizing effort, increasing persistence, and motivating strategy development. Thinking big can make mundane things interesting. After all, Uber is just a collection of local taxi companies and Amazon is a warehousebased catalog store. But by setting high goals, these organizations can better capitalize on those efforts and direct the attention of employees and their support groups. 86

The bigger your goal, the greater your motivation to achieve it. Or as someone said to me, aim for a Gold medal, you might get a Silver. Aim for Bronze and you'll be lucky to complete it. Start Small It is the nature of the world that whatever you want to achieve must start from the beginning. one positive action in the right direction of travel. (That's why it's important to know where you're going) In the era of business planning courses, the pseudo-accuracy of Excel spreadsheets and the matrix organization in which we 'go round and round' makes it easy to plan; and a complicated one at that. Anyone can make a complicated plan. But the complexity is difficult to manage. Think Big, Start Small We need to believe first that nothing big will happen in this world without small things preceding it. A giant company that exists today was started by a small business that was run consistently. In the hazard control hierarchy, we can see that a work accident incident must be the impact of a dangerous condition or activity that was left unchecked just because it was safe at that time. The same is true with ideology or goals. When striving for a goal, we may wish to imagine the final results that will be realized if the goal is achieved, but this also needs to be balanced with actual actions to make it happen.
87
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation
From the naked eye , these actions often do not appear to be correlated with the goals to be achieved. Returning to the example of the Bandung-Jakarta trip, if in reality we don't have the money to pay for transportation or for vehicle servicing, then it is necessary to find money first, this could be by working, selling, doing business, etc. When he works he is hungry, so he will eat. When he works he is thirsty, so he will drink. When he works he is tired, so he will rest. With this parable, it can be concluded that actual actions to realize the goal of arriving in Jakarta are not only limited to the Bandung-Jakarta trip, but activities as small as eating, drinking, resting, working, doing business and selling are also a form of our seriousness in working towards that goal. . Business Feasibility Study and Goals The purpose of the first business feasibility study is to describe an entrepreneurial journey of a small start- up , which is realistic to motivate and train self-confidence. The second purpose of this business feasibility study is to illustrate the role of knowledge in entrepreneurship, by providing practical examples regarding its implementation, the tools and methods used are real life cases. The results obtained after reading this book are a way to develop a viable business concept for a start- up business , which is very necessary for entrepreneurs. The aim of this business feasibility book is to achieve measurable achievements in building a business project's final goal. Dawson , provides a way to identify approaches in business planning that are suitable for small start-up companies ( startups ) as follows: 1. Carrying out market research for initial start- ups

Approaches and Methods for Business Feasibility Strategy Development To deliver business feasibility research and development projects to a high standard, we use the following research-oriented business feasibility development approaches and methods: •
Business Feasibility Research Approach The decision to use a particular research method must be made concretely depending on the general approach to the entire development project. Although the chosen approach does not automatically determine the research method, the decision to choose the method must be made to some extent. However, no approach is perfect, it requires a suitable and creative combination of elements from various approaches. The main result of this development project is the creation of a viable business concept for a new venture. This "novelty of results" becomes the innovation of the most reasonable approach, because the implementation and commercialization of a new venture is the most important characteristic of this approach. The field research approach
89

will also be used as a form of market research to accommodate practical innovation needs. •

Business Feasibility Research Methods To achieve the goal of business feasibility, we will use a variety of different research methods, and combine the two systems of quantitative and qualitative research into “mixed systems research”. Likewise, the approach, division and definition of various methods, becomes less important for the project if it does not produce "instrumental value ", that is, practical utility for finding the best business feasibility. The data obtained will be collected and analyzed with the help of the following methods: Business Feasibility Documentary Research Documentary research is research that is important for building a framework for thinking, so that analysis of documentary evidence related to the research area to be built can become a theoretical basis for business feasibility. Because "documents" are not only considered traditional sources such as books and articles in professional journals, but also as presentation material given by professional practitioners in seminars attended by potential investors. Therefore analysis of documentary sources will apply the “critical approach and careful consideration” as suggested by Ojasalo . In business feasibility research, you will always try to reflect what has been produced from the document, what the purpose is and who the audience is. After that, business feasibility researchers will build and voice their own opinions about the views of business feasibility expressed from the researched literature. Business Feasibility Diary
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation

One practical method of researching business feasibility is to keep a business feasibility diary. Researchers will watch, record and analyze interesting events in which they will participate. The researcher's participation in the business idea that will be offered as a Start Up is the core of this business feasibility diary method. In addition, researcher participation that focuses on the ability to present business ideas and public speaking skills needs to be recorded and analyzed. The main aim of this direct research approach is to try and practice business idea promotion as a popular idea marketing strategy and to reflect on the development from initial to final idea promotion. Another important result is the creation of business idea presentation materials that are coherent, good and easy to understand, which will convince investors. All these activities will be recorded and collected systematically as a business feasibility diary which is similar to Iida , Shrout , Laureanceau & Bolger's idea of the “diary method”. A recording of the business feasibility presentation will reveal the role of the researcher who is actively involved in all research activities. This role will not raise any ethical issues regarding the business feasibility research conducted. All data collected will reveal the role of the researcher, including his opinions and feelings during the business feasibility research process. Semi-structured Interview Regarding Business Feasibility To be able to understand the views of business ideas well, researchers will conduct semistructured or thematic interviews, through various questionnaires. The idea is to interview a large number of business professionals, semi-professionals and energy-saving 91

lamp users of different genders and ages, to be able to create two views regarding business feasibility research. The aim of this research is, firstly, to find out whether there are enough suppliers of energy-saving lamps and secondly, what kind of pick-up system in offices will be approached for cooperation in marketing efforts for energy-saving lamps in this area. At the same time, researchers will investigate the feasibility of an energy-saving lamp business with a ball pick-up system for research. Business Feasibility Survey To conduct market research on potential business product users, researchers will create a survey using an online questionnaire about the need for energy-saving lighting in the workplace, which was created for the purpose of this research. The pick-up sample in question consists of government offices, private company offices, hospitals operating in ten big cities in Central Java. The main aim of this survey is to find out how much energy-saving lighting is needed in workplace environments, as well as how often conventional lamps break down, how big the average budget is for replacing lighting in such offices. Business Feasibility Benchmarking and Competitor Analysis According to Ojasalo et al. Benchmarking is a useful method in developing quality, productivity, operational processes, work practices and other areas of an organization. Financial Executive distinguishes two types of benchmarking (1) competitive benchmarking and (2) best practice benchmarking . Business Dictionary defines competitive benchmarking as “The process of continuously comparing a company's practices and performance measures with those of its most successful competitors.” Meanwhile

benchmarking best practices are designed to identify worldclass players and the best practices underlying the specific standards they use, which will enable our company to be similar to world-class players. According to business feasibility researchers, benchmarking is not suitable for analyzing small start- up companies that are not yet operational. There is no data generated to be able to determine benchmarks ( Key Performance Indicator = KPI). Professional market research services are too expensive to produce a relevant benchmark study of a startup . Therefore, what a start- up business can and must do is carry out competitor analysis, namely finding out what our business competitors are like, for example in terms of price, service, logistics, product guarantees and so on.

Application of Feasibility Study Results in Startup Business Plans 1. Preparing a Solid Business Plan Integrating feasibility study findings into a business plan is a crucial step that ensures that every aspect of a startup's business is planned carefully. This includes incorporating market analysis results, risks, and opportunities that have been identified during the feasibility study. The business plan must reflect the company's vision and mission and highlight the advantages resulting from the feasibility study. In addition, presenting the business plan in an attractive and convincing manner is very important to attract the attention of potential interested parties, including investors and business partners. The use of graphs, infographics and other data visualizations can increase the appeal and make it easier to understand the proposed business strategy. 2. Marketing and Customer Acquisition Strategy The marketing plan must be in accordance with the market analysis that has been produced from the feasibility study. This includes competitive pricing, developing a strong brand, and selecting effective distribution channels. Effective and sustainable customer acquisition strategies also need to be emphasized in the business plan. Detailed steps to build brand awareness, design appropriate marketing campaigns, and establish long-term relationships with potential customers should be covered. Using data from feasibility studies to support marketing and customer acquisition strategies is key to achieving optimal results. 3. Financial Plan Implementation 95
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation
Efficient use of investment funds is an important factor in the success of a startup business . The financial plan must reflect a clear allocation of funds according to business priorities. Monitoring and adjusting financial projections over time is also a critical aspect of implementing a financial plan. Startup businesses must be able to adapt their financial strategies to market changes, internal developments, and other external variables. This includes an evaluation of operational costs, additional investments that may be required, as well as revenue adjustments based on customer response and market conditions. By adopting a responsive approach to financial dynamics, startup businesses can increase their financial resilience and maximize the use of resources to achieve sustainable growth. Feasibility of SME business in tofu making in Lubuk Sahung Village from marketing and production aspects (Case Study) Marketing Aspect The results of interviews conducted with Mrs. Lestari at the beginning in 1994, they determined the price for their tofu product, it was actually quite easy without having to look at the market segmentation they would participate in. They determined the price of their product based on the price of the raw materials they bought from other traders, in this case the price the soybeans they buy from soybean suppliers in the city of Bengkulu, they only determine the selling price based on the raw materials, if the raw materials increase then they will deal with the increase in raw materials by reducing the size of the tofu and if the raw materials have returned to normal then the size of the tofu will return to normal. 96
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation
"Our price determination is not complicated, we only look at the price of imported soybean raw materials, yes, if soybeans are rising we will reduce the size of the tofu, but if it is normal we will return it, but we will not increase the price because we are afraid of angry buyers." The selling price of tofu produced by Ibu Lestari's tofu factory can be categorized according to the existing market segmentation because in the village there are several manufacturers who also produce tofu as their business, and Ibu Lestari has to adjust the selling price of their tofu to the selling price of competitors, for Ibu Lestari's quality. always prioritizes it, because Mrs. Lestari prioritizes quality over profit because if the quality of the tofu produced is good then consumers will not run to other competitors. The promotional strategy implemented by Mrs. Lestari was initially only through word of mouth, visiting fried food stall owners and school canteens, and bringing her own tofu produced to markets around the Sukaraja sub-district . Initially, that was all Mrs. Lestari could do in promoting her tofu. As a result of its production, Lestari's tofu is gradually becoming more known and trusted for consumption, and promotional strategies are also developing, now Mrs. Lestari has marketed her tofu online via social media . WhatsApp , if there are customers who want to order, they can order directly via WhatsApp without having to go to the factory first. To distribute tofu from the factory to the market, Ibu Lestari does not have her own couriers or employees, but only through vegetable craftsmen and through people who actually pick up the tofu at Ibu Lestari's factory to resell at the market.
97
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation
In terms of products, Mrs. Lestari always provides the best of her production to be marketed, because for Mrs. Lestari, when the products marketed are quality, consumers will be satisfied and will return to buy tofu from their production, and so far no consumers have complained or submitted complaints about The tofu produced by Ibu Lestari is because the tofu that Ibu Lestari sells is the best tofu from the Lestari tofu factory. Production Aspect The results of the interview with Mrs. Lestari as the owner of the tofu manufacturing factory before they built the tofu factory, they carried out an analysis of the location of the tofu making business . - in the middle between the cities of Bengkulu and Sukaraja , a strategic place to carry out trade, after analyzing this, Mrs. Lestari and her family also carried out an analysis of where the resulting waste will be disposed of , so as not to disturb residents around the factory and not pollute the environment around the factory, so Before establishing the tofu factory, Mrs. Lestari carried out an in-depth analysis of the location of her tofu factory . The source of raw materials used in making tofu is imported soybeans which are purchased directly in the West Circle of Bengkulu City. The reason why we use imported soybeans is to maintain the texture and taste of the tofu after it is finished, and to speed up the processing of the soybeans because when soaked the husk of the imported soybeans peels faster. If you compare it with local soybeans, and when the imported soybeans are milled they are softer and smoother than local soybeans, therefore the Lestari tofu factory really pays attention to the raw materials they use in producing tofu, and is not careless in choosing raw materials. 98
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation
In producing tofu, Mrs. Lestari uses tools that tend to be traditional, none of which uses machines, everything is done manually, which means that the technology for making tofu at Lestari's tofu factory is very traditional, but there is a reason why Mrs. Lestari prefers to use traditional tools compared to renewable tools. The reason is that traditional tools can produce high quality tofu and taste better. Renewable tools can indeed increase the amount of production, but the taste of the tofu produced is less satisfying, and costs more to produce, and will cause an increase in the price of tofu or a reduction in the size of Ibu Lestari's tofu. . Mrs. Lestari's tofu factory already has a valid business permit from the government and also has a location permit from the local government. This permit has been obtained by Mrs. Lestari for a long time, because what is produced is food, they consider it very important to have a permit to set up a tofu factory. And the production effluent produced every day is filtered and the final waste product is only water that is white and does not smell or pollute the environment of local residents, and Mrs. Lestari already has her own swamp land to dispose of waste water from tofu production. Currently, the production output is only sufficient to meet market needs around Sukaraja and has not been able to penetrate the market in Bengkulu City, because the production output is not yet sufficient, at most only tofu brought by outside traders can reach the market in Bengkulu City. The obstacle faced during tofu production is the lack of adequate employees. Lestari's mother has tried to recruit employees for production but many of them can't stand it and can't produce tofu. Even though they have been taught how to make Lestari's tofu, they still can't stand it and there are also those who Ms. 99
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation
Letari was laid off again because her work was unsatisfactory. Currently, most of Ms. Lestari's employees come from Ms. Lestari's own family . Apart from these obstacles, another obstacle is that if the rainy season occurs, production will be hampered because the firewood used for production will be difficult to dry, and will require more time to dry.

How Business Viability Affects Society Business viability can have a significant impact on society, both positively and negatively. Here are some ways business viability impacts society: 1. Job Creation: Successful and growing businesses tend to create more jobs. This can increase employment rates in local communities and reduce unemployment rates. 2. Community Income and Welfare: An economical and profitable business has the potential to increase the income of local communities. Through salaries and wages, people can experience increased economic prosperity. 3. Tax and Social Fund Contributions: Successful businesses pay taxes, which in turn can be used by governments to finance public services such as education, 140

health and infrastructure. Apart from that, some businesses also donate to social funds as part of their corporate social responsibility. Local Empowerment: Businesses that focus on local empowerment can provide training, education and support to local communities, helping them become more independent and improving their quality of life. Environmental Effects: Businesses that adopt sustainable and environmentally friendly business practices can help protect and improve local environmental conditions. This includes good waste management, emission reduction, and conservation of natural resources. Community Support: Businesses that are actively involved in community activities or social programs can improve relationships with the community. They can support local events, charitable organizations, or initiatives that advance community wellbeing. Social and Cultural Change: Businesses can influence society by introducing new products or services, or even supporting social and cultural change. For example, businesses that promote diversity and inclusion can contribute to changing social norms.
It is important to note that the impact of business viability depends on many factors, including industry, geographic location, and business strategy. Businesses that are oriented towards sustainability and social responsibility tend to have a greater positive impact on society than businesses that focus solely on financial gain. Therefore, 141

wise and sustainable business strategies can help create a positive impact and build good relationships with society. How Business Viability Affects the Environment Business viability can have a significant impact on the environment, both positively and negatively. This influence can be felt through operational policies, natural resource management practices, and corporate environmental responsibility. Here are some ways business viability impacts the environment: 1. Sustainable Practices: Businesses that consider feasibility aspects often tend to adopt sustainable business practices. This includes waste reduction, energy efficiency and responsible use of natural resources. 2. Waste Management: Business feasibility can influence how a company views and manages waste. Sustainable businesses will look for ways to reduce waste, recycle materials and adopt environmentally friendly disposal methods. 3. Energy Efficiency: Businesses considering the feasibility of their operations can look for ways to improve energy efficiency. This could involve the use of more efficient technology, investment in renewable energy sources, or policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 4. Use of Natural Resources: Businesses that focus on feasibility often consider the impact of using natural resources. This could include assessing sustainability in supply chains, responsible use of raw materials, and replanting policies. 5. Selection of Operational Location: Business decisions regarding operational locations can affect the surrounding environment. Selecting a location that considers aspects 142
Innovate to Survive : Balancing Leadership and Innovation
of ecology, sustainability and environmental impact can reduce negative risks. 6. Technological Innovation: Businesses that consider the feasibility of technology can encourage innovation to create more environmentally friendly solutions. This could include the development of green technologies, such as renewable energy or waste processing technologies. 7. Environmental Responsibility: Companies that understand the viability of their business are often socially and environmentally responsible. They can commit to reforestation programs, ecosystem restoration, or contributions to environmental organizations. 8. Environmental Measurement and Reporting: Businesses that view feasibility holistically tend to measure environmental impacts and report them transparently. This can include reports on emissions, resource use and other sustainability measures. It is important to note that each business will have a different impact depending on the industry, scale of operations, and policies implemented. Businesses that are oriented towards viability and sustainability are likely to create a positive impact on the environment, while those that are not increase the risk of negative impacts. Case study Let's take an example of a case study that illustrates how business viability can impact society and the environment: Case Study: Green Technology Company XYZ 1. Background:
