Business Studies: Products to be Improved

The past few sessions on our BST Business Studies were spent in trying to think like an entrepreneur. A way of being "like" an entrepreneur was improving and thinking of better ideas, products that we could improve upon. We had several ideas or products that we think could be enhanced and make better; however, two have in our opinion have stood out. (The activity was done in groups at our table); an idea that a group member has thought about was a digital table, however, after some friendly-argument disagreement, it was decided on that it wasn't such a good idea. For one the amount of money needed for making such a product would've been huge, also it wasn't as versatile as we would like. There were several more, however, again, as mentioned there were two that stood out for us.

The first one is that we wanted to change/improve the function of an adaptor; being that at times we buy electronics from other countries, it is almost unavoidable that the plug would be needing an adaptor. However, we as a group have experienced that universal adaptors do not work all of the time. That leads us to the idea of making an adjusting adaptor; the power connector can be adjusted to the type of socket, not only the plug holes of the adaptor can also be adjusted. Which then makes the product, "The Real Universal Adaptor".

Secondly, which is also the last, is that we found that biodegradable bins can also be changed for the better. This idea came from learning about the 3 R's, the biodegradable bin is portable and easy to store. But the main idea of this product is so that organic materials are broken down; by breaking biodegradable foods it turns them into a more efficient fertilizer. The processed [by means of a metal elesi/ "like fan blades"] biodegradable material that are not needed any more, orange/fruit peels, scraps of food are made into fertilizer that can be beneficial to making a garden, making rich soil and for farming. "Bio-Lizer".
