GENERATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONAL ADVANCEMENT IN THE FORM
OF 5G

The development of this highly efficient and cardinal means of communication has become
of great demand, although it is not easily accessible for a country like Zimbabwe which is in
the upcoming status of attaining a world class recognition. On a higher perspective this gives
us a huge breakthrough as a company set to be the first to be able to broadcast such a high
performing networking system with a single intention of being exceptional all the way out.
RESOURCES REQUIRED

1. CAPITAL
 According to Edwin Canaan (1921, p.475), defined capital as amongst merchants,
bankers, and traders, signifies the sum of money which individuals bring to make up
the common stock of a partnership when it is formed.
 Of most for a company to be successful it requires a lump sum source of capital to be
able to withhold any initial operations which even involve acquiring a premises or
coaxial cables or fibre optics which needs liquidity for it to be performed.
 As a way to acquire capital to run the initial proceedings for our venture the most
appropriate sources are as follows:
1. Partnership and investors
 The interested partners and investors are of great concern as they would now have a
percentage of shares to our company, hence there is need of showcasing how the
 introduction of 5G would even make them more money at the same time making us
also rich and successful which is generally the goal.
 In order to achieve their interest a clear proposal should be made outlining all the
possible benefits in the upcoming years of joining our venture to achieve a 5G status
nationally with time also advancing to globally.
 After agreeing to the terms and share percentages, a certified documentation is
required to formalise the investment agreement with the approved amount they would
have added to our upcoming empire.

2. PREMISES
 For our company’s day to day venture it needs an operational command centre,
required to take control of the various boosters and routers we would have installed at
various points throughout the country.
 As we work to install each router and boosters for our 5G transmission there has to be
a clear ground at a relatively sufficient distance away from obstacles.
 These obstacles which might include trees, buildings or any high object might
interfere our transmission of waves.
 As a way to tackle this we have to contact real estates for either an open ground or
maybe a hilltop for even much better transmission.

3 COMPANY REGISTRATION
 After acquiring all the required capacities to start our venture we the head of to the
company registration general’s office with the proper documentation.
 The nature of interest of the company is of great priority, reflecting if it is going to be
a community interest company (CIC), limited liability partnership (LLP), private
company limited by shares (Ltd) or even a public limited company (PLC).
 As for our company we are going to run under a private company limited by shares
holding full limited liability on its members, having at least one director and one
shareholder (HTTP

4 ADVERTISEMENT SERVICES
 For our company’s name to spread throughout the nation a good advertisement
approach should be made.
 This can be attained by using various means which include:
1. Newspaper advertisement likes of NEWSDAY, THE HERALD, SUNDAY MAIL,
etc.
2. Billboards and other form of electric boards with the help of advertisement
companies like Blue vision digital marketing company in Zimbabwe,
3. Flyer distribution

5 BRANDING OF COMPANY
 On the uppermost crucial necessity for a good marketing strategy survey is the part of
branding our company.
 A company’s name should be made considering it as an upcoming empire with the
only intention of running for a very long period of time.
 In order to build a good reputation there has to be a survey as a means of also market
researching based on customer feedback as this is a way of having not to lose the
interests of certain customers.

CAPABILITIES REQUIRED

1 EXPERTISE IN FINANCE

diversified enterprise to be able to have knowledge of the basic flow of the everyday
liquidity transactions.
 The auditing is of great advantage as it assures less chances of fraud, theft of even up
to a minimum of 1 cent as every amount is of great use for the uplift of the business.

2 EXPERTISE LABOURERS

 As 5G network is still new in the telecommunication industry there is need of highly

educated labourers who have knowledge in the handling of fibre optics as it is prone
to be fragile when handled with no skill.

3 MARKET RESEARCH

 As a company with the zeal for expansion been able to identify where we would get
the most from our project would help us not waste resources.
 A lot of research has to be done with the help of risk managers and auditors who
would have knowledge on where we would get a larger profit at the end of a financial
year.
 Inbound marketing would be the most significant as it works for businesses of any
size and type, with this it would surely work for us as we are company just entering
the 5G industry.

ENDULGING IN THE HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE GENERATION

INDUSTRY
 At a global scale going green all the way out has reached a point where it is now a
huge priority due to the recent hikes in global warming. Of all the industries the motor
development industry has been a great breakthrough in the mobilization of
influencing the world to go green by the introduction of hybrid electric cars. This
gives us a great opportunity to be competitive in the global electric cars development
market by generating our own hybrid vehicle brand.
RESOURCES REQUIRED
1. BRAND NAME CREATION AND BLUEPRINT DESIGNS

 As a means to attract people a good name should be highly crucial as it is the name
we as a company are going to use to influence certain investors to venture with us.
 For a good motor vehicle company, it should have a good logo design which would
make it highly exceptional in the industry.
 With that taken into consideration a highly recommended graphical designer is
required for that task and the logo design should have a message behind it.
 For our prototype blueprints with the electrical motor engineering knowledge within
me with an extra help from mechanical engineers, it is possible to design an electric
high efficient vehicle running with a series of motor dynamos for auto charging uses.
2. CAPITAL
 According to Max Weber (1968, vol. 1, p.94), he defined capital as the money value
of the means of profit making available to the enterprise at the balancing of the books.
 The hybrid motor development industry is a highly costly industry which needs great
funding in order for it to be successful.
 For us to be able to acquire such large amounts of money a huge influential financial
proposal outlining the vision behind our company should be made.
 This proposal shall be used to attract investors and business partners and if we are
able to convince them, written documentation is put forward agreeing on the
respective conditions suggested.
 The liquidity capital can also be generated from a successful application to a
commercial investment bank which would lend us money with the hope of returning
with an added up interest.

 For it to run it must have a specified share capital and makes return to Companies
House stating that if it has raised the minimum share capital and has its trading
certificate.
4 MARKET RESEARCH
 To be able to achieve maximum profits, a good marketing strategy is of great concern.
 A good marketing strategy means been able to have a large insight on the certain
areas where there is demand, availability of raw materials or even reliable banking
services.
 As our product is generally expensive we have to aim to get more sells from the urban
areas hence the headquarters has to be located in central business district of Harare.
 Content marketing should be considered as it would greatly regulate us on the buying
behaviour having to lead the business on the right kind of markets to engage into.
 It also draws more focus on the selling perspective rather than buying in order to
achieve brand visibility.

CAPABILITIES REQUIRED
1. EXPERTISE IN THE ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING FIELD
 As the electric motor engine production requires sophisticated machinery in order for
it to run as desired, it also requires skilled engineers with knowledge of how dynamos
operate.
 Our car will function under a power utility sourced from the motion which it holds
after covering a certain distance hence with this, engineers with exceptional
knowledge are required.

2. EXPERTISE IN FINANCE
 Financial auditors and accountants are of great use on a company which undertakes
numerous transactions on a daily base as they will be able to follow up on the
liquidity of the business.
 They come with an added advantage of having to make approximations on how much

conditions which are obtainable with fair wages and working hours.

ENGANGING IN THE ROBOTICS SECTORS OF DRONE AND

ELECTRONIC BODY PARTS PRODUCTION

The introduction of robotics in our society has come with such crucial benefits of
even providing more efficient bionic body parts as a means of replacement if one gets
involved in an accident. It is a great breakthrough opportunity for technopreneurs as
people are now getting involved in the robotics industry and the markets are on hike
from a large demand worldwide. Our company will therefore engage in this industry
aiming for the consumers attention with efficient drones and bionic body parts to
satisfy their needs.
RESOURCES REQUIRED
1. CAPITAL

initial liquidity is required which can be sourced in various ways.
 These may include fundraising initiatives, partnership and investors, crowd funding,
e.t.c.
 Our company will engage in the major fundraising programs by hosting business
related conferences or even fundraising marathons which will make us attain initial
money to start our operations.

CROWDFUNDING

 As a means to source initial capital, having to carry crowdfunding campaigns will

help the growth of the business as the individuals who contribute they have only one
intention to support the business and nothing else.

PROGRAMS

 In order to attain great profits our company is going to engage into one of the most
effective B2B marketing strategy with a common name known as inbound marketing.
 It is considered the most effective as it rather gets its motives to attract and delight
customers at the highest possible level.
 It is more relevant as it tends to advertise by messaging rather than the annoying
popup advertisements which are considered to annoy customers away from our
product.

confer limited liability on its shareholders.
 With the acknowledgement of all the shareholders the registration process takes place
with submission of application and payment done.
 As the verification and name search process is completed the board members come to
a decision of signing the official documentation to allow us to be traders in the nation.
 Upon succeeding in all the documentation and certification we will now be mutually
traders in the electric vehicle industry.
4. PREMISES
 As the production of vehicles needs heavy machinery which take up a lot of space
hence a large convenient working environment is required.
 The premises should be able to abide by the regulations initiated by the government
and also the Environmental Management Agency (EMA).
 Our premises shall be well ventilated in order to accommodate for the COVID-19
pandemic as a control measure with social distancing.
 In terms of location they have to be near our market and where raw materials are
readily available to cut expenditure on the transport costs.
5. BRANDING
 In order to create a good reputation and brand image, branding has to be highly
considered for customers to be fully satisfied with our product.
 In a recent study (A Alizedah et al. 2004 p. 417) concluded that to the buyer, brands
serve to identify the sources of the product, assign responsibility to the product maker,
reduce risk and search-cost, signal a promise with the seller or producer and
symbolize the product’s quality
 To achieve the main goal a successful brand has a name, symbol, or design which
recognises the product of an organization as having sustainable competitive
advantage.

growing brand visibility.
 With the help from financial auditors they are able to fish out any signs of fraud or
theft in the daily transactions held in the business to ensure maximum profits at the
end of a financial year.
2. EXPERTISE IN BIOMEDICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
INDUSTRY
 The sophisticated drones and bionic engineered body parts require highly skilled
engineers as for them to work efficiently as desired.
 It would be of most advantage to employ the fresh young minds as the technology is
relatively still new to the market, they would be able to fulfil our goal as they have
been exposed to the latest technology.
 The company will purchase heavy robotics machinery hence our employees should
have knowledge on the occupational, safety and health of machine operation.
 This will come into hand as it tends to exploit all the work related hazards which
might result in one getting injured permanently.
3. GARBAGE DISPOSAL SERVICES
 Proper disposal services would be necessary as our company would have to dispose
out residue from the production processes which might include scrap metals or even
residue oil.
 These waste products might cause environment deterioration if not disposed properly
hence the company can hire private garbage disposal tenders to withhold regular
garbage collections.
 Another way would be to engage in recycling as it does not protect the environment
only rather also helps in cutting costs to the company by reusing the waste.

4. DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR BASED POWER SYSTEMS

 Due to high consumption levels of electricity than the supply in our country
Zimbabwe, it has given the solar industry a huge breakthrough opportunity due to the
rising load shadings. Our company will work towards utilising all the financial
perspectives in order to achieve satisfying amounts of profits at the end of a financial
year. The business would be mostly focused on the installation of solar systems in
both commercial and residential locations.
RESOURCES REQUIRED
1 BRANDING
 According to a study (A Moshabhaki page 418) a successful brand can be defined an
identifiable product, service, person or place augmented in such a way that the buyer
or user perceives relevant, unique added values which match their needs most closely.
 The goal is to explore ways to add value to the basic product or service and therefore
create brand preference and loyalty.
 With the most strategic approaches stakeholder interests may be gained as they hold a
great position in also our interests as by the virtue of their ability to influence our
operations.
 The branding perspective also serves as marketers for the offerings of a firm.
2 MARKETING STRATEGIES
 Scale efficiency is going to be used as it is a competitive tool primarily because it has
the potential to yield reduction in production costs by spreading the fixed costs over a
higher volume of output. Further cost reduction from scale arises from the learning
curve effect (Lieberman, 1984; Pattison and Teplitz, 1989, p11.)
 It is a great strategy as it tends to make less costs due to combining 2 or more product
lines in one firm than to produce them separately.
 In the production process the employees will also gain experience and learning
reducing costs as the firm moves down its learning curve.

VENTURE
CAPITAL

 The company is going to source its capital from a process of venture capitalisation
which is becoming very elusive.
 According to (Rieva lesonsky,2007 page 10,6) venture capital was referred to as an
institutional venture capital firm that invest in other people’s money and manage it for
them; venture capitalists typically seek a high degree of involvement and expect a
high rate of return in a short time; venture capitalists look for an idea that is well-
formulated, well-documented and well-protect.
 In order to get access to these investors there is need of a strong management which
might have a track record of success and experience or they are showcasing potential.
 A marketing potential will also influence the investors as a franchise is better than a
company which is only local.
CAPABILITIES
 In the capabilities architecture (Beimborn et al 2005) which are the abilities within a
firm which can be linked together as business processes in order to enable a specific
purpose outcome.
 As a company based on the engineering sector it will require special skills from the
various engineers who are able to think critically and reflectively.
 The employees should be versatile/ability to innovate and work in varied
environments as this would help to have workers who are capable to work even in the
not so pleasant places when installing the panels.
 FINACIAL MATHEMATICIANS AND AUDITORS
 The financial mathematicians and auditors are of most great concern as they are
responsible for discovering errors and fraud in our business within the corporate
documents to make sure our company’s financial statements are correct.
 This would help our company to attain maximum profits at the end of a financial
period.
PREMISES
 As our company is a more industrial company it has to be located where the major
requirements have to be sourced.
 The Building’s Infrastructure older buildings do not have the necessary infrastructure
to support the high-tech needs of contemporary operations of the company
 Making sure the building you choose has adequate electrical, air conditioning and
telecommunications service to meet the present and future needs would surely create a
sustainable working space (Rieva Lesonsky, 2007 page 19.9)

DEVELOPMENT OF SECURITY CYBER WARE SYSTEMS FOR ASSET

PROTECTION
 As crime is a highly alarming measure which companies are struggling to exploit as at
some point the initiated security forces are the certain individuals planning several
heists while on duty. The advancement of technology with the introduction of
nanotechnology to the security sector has given us a huge breakthrough by been
tenders in supplying nanosized cameras which are generally miniature sized.

RESOURCES REQUIRED
1 MARKETING STRATEGIES
 Cash-flow problems are some of the most common difficulties small businesses
encounter, and they are usually the first signs of serious financial trouble ahead (Rieva
lesonsky 2007 page 22.4)
 Companies can reside to various strategies to exploit the cases of improper cashflows:

GLOBAL STRATEGY

MULTIDOMESTIC
STRATEGY

TRANSNATIONAL STRATEGY

 Our company will get involved in the multinational or multidomestic strategy which
( Barlett and Gorshal 2004) is a strategy in which strategic and operational decisions
are decentralized to the strategic business unit in each country so as to allow that unit
to adapt products to the local market;
 It would help the company as it would establish it as a franchise which is far much
better than just been local to be able to expand or brand.
2 BRANDING
 As it is a top management priority it is considered to be a way to add value to the
product as they tend to embrace the activities of a business.
 As a branding strategy corporate branding would impose a large impact to the
exposure of our company to numerous customers.
 Balmer and Gray (2014) defined it as a systematically planned and implemented
process of creating and maintaining a favourable image and consequently a
favourable reputation for the company as a whole by sending signals to all
stakeholders and by managing behaviour, communication, and symbolism
 This would surely help us to provide a reputation in which customers will recognise
on the various activities the company is involved in.
CAPITAL AND CAPABILITIES REQUIRED
 As a source of initial money the financial mathematicians will undertake a survey to
check the most appropriate marketing model and data analysis for the best capital
source.
 The financial mathematicians will require the help of financial auditors to go through
the everyday analysis on the corporate documents to discover errors and fraud .
 Another top capability is for a smooth deliverance of orders from the customers with
the best transportation and best installers.
 To insure excellence in the installation process experienced electronic and robotics
engineers will be required as we would not allow any room for failure of cyber
security ware.
