Business is not only about using opportunities maximally, but we can also create opportunities for ourselves, we are not waited by the chance but we try to make a chance for our business, business need to constantly seek new ways to expand and diversify their customer base in order to remain a viable option in a competitive market. One of the examples of business opportunities come from the term of clothing. Clothing is the one of the most prospective business. There are many numbers of unique factories that produce a brand of clothing. It compels the businessman to be more creative and innovative to producing clothing. The important thing in the clothing business is to determine what kind of clothes we want to manufacture because there are many kind of clothes like sport cloth, usual clothe and stylist clothes. We have to able to define our specialty, both in line and price category because some people want to have a good t-shirt with a minimum price.

Clothing factories like Ringspun T-shirt, Apple bottoms, two angel street clothing are the big factories and have a good market. They are very innovative in developing their product. They also have a good management. They can advertise their product very well and it is influence their sale. These three factories are really dominant in the market it is making the small clothing business have to be more creative and innovative in developing their product. They have to create and good t-shirt with the low price, it becomes the best choice because the big factories monopoly the market in the clothing business. However before we take to enter the clothing business we have to prepare in the market strategies and price of the clothes.

Sudden changes in business patterns can also be disruptive to your organization. Your contingency plan should take them into account. Two examples are disruptive technology and bad mental models.

Disruptive Technology

Two ways to counter disruptive technologies are to constantly reinvest in your own research, always looking for new ideas and ultimately new products, and to continuously improve the products you have. By looking outward you are keeping a finger on the pulse of what is happening in other industries. The approximations to your business become apparent if you pay attention. If you reinvest in your own research, you may find the solution first or you may become the disruptive influence for another industry. Finally, by reinvesting you make it difficult for the competition to enter the market by setting the standard for the product. Make the cost of entry so high for competitors that it is not worth the effort.

Bad Mental Models

Often businesses are forced into contingency planning because they have been operating with bad mental models. Peter Senge first brought the concept of mental models to the general public awareness. The same concept applies to how a company does business. It is a bad sign when emergency actions are required and there is no plan. An unplanned emergency situation comes from a company with lethargic management. Several things may be happening at one time. One thing to watch for is discounting or downplaying the possibility of danger. Management teams sometimes discount the possibility of a serious situation ever happening to their company. It will always happen to the other company. Not so. Downplaying or underestimating the problem is equally dangerous. The rule of thumb in business is that a problem doesn’t go away. It only gets bigger.
