![Page 27: Edexcel GCSE Business new spec: 1.1.1 the dynamic nature of business](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052116/5a65edac7f8b9ab21e8b4ab7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Original ideas
• Original ideas are ones that have not been used before to put a product or service into production e.g. pet hotels
• This may be to solve problems• It may be because an entrepreneur has a passion
or interest• A gap in the market may have been spotted• A business may have carried out some research
into the wants and needs of shoppers and be creating products to meet those needs
![Page 28: Edexcel GCSE Business new spec: 1.1.1 the dynamic nature of business](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052116/5a65edac7f8b9ab21e8b4ab7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Original ideas – solve problems
• This is Art Fry – he invented the post-it note by accident
• Originally it was called the press and peel
• It was yellow as he had yellow paper to hand
• He invented it to keep the page open in his hymn book
![Page 29: Edexcel GCSE Business new spec: 1.1.1 the dynamic nature of business](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052116/5a65edac7f8b9ab21e8b4ab7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Original ideas – gap in the market
• A successful business will be one that spots and opportunity to make a profit
• This could be an idea that no-one has thought of before – for example Trunki luggage
• The opportunity could be where there are lots of businesses already making a healthy profit
• The entrepreneur may also spot an opportunity to trade and also make a difference to society –this is called a social enterprise
