Step 2:
1. Lauren Porter
2. Business Plan: The Coffee Project
3. 2018
4. University of Arkansas
5. The purpose of this study is to find capital investment for a startup
coffee company in downtown Bartlesville, OK.
6. The conclusion of this study was; “The Coffee Project’s total startup
costs are estimated to be $50,000. The business will be funded by a
personal investment in the amount of $30,000, as well as a $10,000
gift from Troy Porter and a $10,000 commercial business loan from
Truity Credit Union. The loan will be paid off over a 4-year period.
This initial investment will provide enough working capital to
purchase all equipment and beginning inventory, as well as cover any
cash flow deficits during the startup phase. The Coffee Project will
operate in a rented facility to keep capital investments low.”
7. This study shows the process required in the start of
entrepreneurship and starting a new company. It is important in my
field of study because it also shows the amount of financial analysis
that is required when beginning a startup company. When she talks
about the funding that is required and how this funding will be repaid
and the exact amount of time that is needed to repay the capital
investors.
8. First, I do like how this study is about a startup company because I am
very interested in being an entrepreneur later in my life. However, I
do not like the idea of a retail store concept as a startup company. I
would much rather go into a startup company in the construction and
real estate field simply because that is what I enjoy more. There is
nothing wrong with the idea of a coffee shop startup like in the study;
I just would personally enjoy a startup that is structured differently.
In conclusion, this study stood out to me in the fact that it is referring
to a startup company but I would personally look into a different
company in the startup world.

Step 3:
1. Dub Ashton
2. 1974
3. Psychographic Profiles of Patronage Preference Groups
4. University of Georgia
5. The managerial implications of the study should not be
underemphasized. First, while the results may not be generalized, the
conceptualization can be made operational in other trading areas. It is
expected that these other areas have unique supermarket attribute
preference groups. The percentage distribution and preference
profiles of these groups can be valuable input for planning the
supermarket mix.
