MSC Malaysia-IHL Business Plan Competition (MIBPC) 2009/2010 is back again this year!


For this meeting, Prof. Azizi has given us a briefing about 'Business Plan Competition'. MIBPC is an annual event organized by Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC). They are now searching for top two teams (one for Business Idea category and one for Business Plan category) to represent MMU at the national level. The Grand Prize worth of RM7,000 for Business Plan category and RM5,000 for Business Idea category this year. They would appreciate if our faculty/centre could encourage us to take part in this competition.

Scopes of the competition must relate to Information Communications & Technology (ICT) or Bio-Informatics, focusing particularly in the following three clusters; CMC - Creative Multimedia Content, SSO - Shared Services & Outsourcing and SeS -Software e-Solutions: includes AS – Application Software and MESH - Mobility Embedded Software & Hardware.

For this class session, our main activity is focusing on making business plan for our business activity. As usual, we get together in our group to discuss intensely about everyone's part. The business plan that we make should follow the guideline that given by Madam. The task must be submit by next class on Monday.

In promoting the 'Laptop Formatting Workshop', the registration booth were open daily at several strategic places such as at foyer of the Sultanah Bahiyah Library and the FTM building. The response from the fellow students was surprisingly very good as the register participant increasing daily. This shows a good sign for our group business plan in making a big profit.

There are no problem for our group this week. But just a little constrain we had in setting up the booth due to the limited time as each one of the group members have other commitment such as classes and assignment.

This week, we have to plan on making budget for the workshop that will be held. The budget was made based on the expense that will be make for the lab rent, instructor fee, food and beverage, CD and others. For early preparation, we have made posters and flyers for the promotion purpose. After that we manage to make a duty schedule for each member to take turn managing and handle the registration counter.

As like I mention before, each one of the group must give a presentation for their business activity.Before starting the presentation, all of the group must submit the report to Madam Rafidah and she told us that after all of the presentation finish, there would be a quiz for us to take. This quiz is the first quiz for this class.

Today, my group selected to be the first group to begin the presentation session. My groups succeed to present nicely and we hope that they have clearly understand what our plan is.

So, what are the problems I encountered this week? For me, i just want to mention about the presentation held that day. There is some group didn’t ready to present when they didn’t take out their plan clearly. I’m also sort of lost with some of the group presentation which they didn’t mention about their business theme and their company’s name. Hence, there are group that not alert with instruction that being carry out by Madam, as example there are two groups that didn’t submit their report.

Madam Rafidah also did mention about the presentation where she reminds us to stick and focus to one type of business only and not much than that in one business project. She did also mention about some of the group that didn’t use suitable colour for their presentation slide. Lastly, she expects us to have much more quality in presenting from each one of the group in that class.

This week, we got to discuss for the presentation that will be held on this coming Thursday (27th August 2009). For this week presentation, the session will be done on a short but compact with information and also, Madam Rafidah want us to prepare only three slide for that presentation. We also need to choose the presenter to present the business activity that we’d planned.

On the presentation day, our group member Erma Zahura Hamzah has been trusted to present our agenda. We’ve ready with three slides which contains; for firtst slide we presenting the Organizational Chart of Techno Apprentice. Second slide we have presenting all of the business suggestion from our “organization members”. (We stated which one of the suggestion from group member that we chose. For the last slide, we explain about the business idea. (Promoting the business themes, presenting the workshop title, and our target audience).

As usual, in every discussion we’ve made, we never face big problems that stopping us to ending our discussion. Just for this time, we face a little bit of difficulties for us to determine what kind of content should be put in the presentation slide so that it would satisfy Madam Rafidah.


I wish all Muslims Salam Ramadhan Eid Mubarak....
I wish this Ramadhan, you're gifted with blessing of Allah and many treasured moment of joy!






For this class, Madam Rafidah gave another important task to the entire group. She requested us to develop one business activity based on business activity theme for this semester. Based on the theme, we have to plan a business venture to generate profit. The project will end in Week 13 of this semester. Then, we have to start by brainstorming for possible venture for our group and plan for the next action. We also need to build website as a medium to promote our business. Besides that, we have to decide each group member’s role for this project. She also reminds us to follow the deadline to submit progress report, progress presentation, final report and final presentation slides.

What I have done for this meeting?My group members and me has gone through a discussion meeting on this matter to choose our business activity theme, and finally decided to choose “ Education “ as our theme. As the activity which will be organize to make this project happen, we’ve plan to organize a ‘Laptop Formatting Workshop‘ for our business activity. We also decided to bring up our new organizational chart for this project.

Talking about problem which I confront this week, I just want to stress on how we’re still not fully getting the big picture on the planning phase for this project. Due to lack of experience on managing this kind of project, ( that includes each one of the group member ) we stranded with many questions on what kind of equipment we should prepare for this project, who will be the tutor, etc.


Business activity theme for this semester is Social Entrepreneurship. Before deciding on what kind of business we will pick, we should firstly know and must go through the Social Entrepreneurship subject and its meaning.
So, I accessed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/social_entrepreneurship to understand what is Social Entrepreneurship really is all about.



Based on the Wikipedia, “ Social entrepreneurship is the work of a social entrepreneur. A social entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change. Whereas a business entrepreneur typically measures performance in profit and return, a social entrepreneur assesses success in terms of the impact she/he has on society as well as in profit and return. While social entrepreneurs often work through nonprofits and citizen groups, many are now working in the private and governmental sectors and making a real impact on society.”

In the last meeting, we’ve done the proposal for our business idea in our previous discussion, so now we are ready to present our proposal. But before that, we need to choose four presenters that will be responsible to present our business idea. Before we start the presentation, Madam Rafidah instruct us to combine with another group. In other word, one group will be presenting to another group. Then we must evaluate each other group business idea proposal.

We accomplish to choose four presenters which is the best from our group. The first presenter is Azuaza Binti Abdullah. She has the responsibility to present the business idea of animation application. The second presenter for our group is Nur Farhana Binti Mohd Razali whom being trust to present the virtual reality application. Our director, Chin Zie Loong presents the game design application, and for the last application, my group have decided to choose me, Noorshakira Binti Ismail as the last presenter to present our business idea for multimedia design application. Me and my group have chose the Symphony Vision group to be evaluate by our group.

The problem which I confront during that day in the presentation session was I have done a slight mistake during evaluating other groups proposal.



Presentation Session....


The brainstorming stage that is performed last week by each group roughly is to gain business idea for each type of application. For this week, all groups have prepared detailed business idea generate based on the iCAAP Competition theme. As we know the competition theme is ‘One Malaysia’. So, each group has prepared four business idea proposals for each type of category which is Animation, Virtual Reality, Game Design and Multimedia Design. This business idea must be present during next class on 10th August 2009. That’s mean we have to make the preparation for the presentation before this coming Monday.


Yes.....One Malaysia...!!


What I have done this week was brainstorming with all group members to prepare four business idea based on the theme. We have proposed different application for each type of application. For the animation application we have proposed short scene like news and we named it as ‘Bulletin Malaysia’ program. For virtual reality application we decided to build the environment that will expose the ‘Malaysian Custom of Wedding’. Then to commemorate Malaysia warrior’s loyal service, we choose to develop ‘Malaysian Warriors’ as our game design application. Furthermore, on multimedia design application, we decided to develop Digital Storytelling. This Digital storytelling is about ‘Voice of Malaysia’.


Idea....Idea.....Idea..........!!!!


As usual for all meeting with my group members we don’t have any serious problem that will aggravate our discussion. But, for this discussion we feel a bit difficult to get the best idea based on the theme.

For this week task, every group should concentrate on brainstorming for the iCAAP competition that will be held. The discussion objective is mainly to observe each of the group member’s ideas and their level of creativity. We concentrate on giving our opinion and generate idea to come out with what our group can produce especially on the Multimedia product for the competition base on the application category. The application type includes four kinds of various Multimedia streams which are; animation, virtual reality, game design, and Multimedia design.

The iCAAP competition theme is "One Malaysia", so we should first do some research on the subject to get the overview before starting and deciding our next step to figuring out what we should do. But before that, we should think about the ideas for all the application and our company name. What we have come with our discussion is that we found a lot of product can be produce for each type of the Multimedia application. For example, by using e-book or e-learning application, we can create a medium to portray the Malaysia's Civilization, Malaysian society and their rich cultures from the early stage of forming the nation. Besides that, we also came out with the idea to design the media player theme with the "One Malaysia" concept, and create a short story about the Malaysian society that lives in harmony despite of different race and religion. For the virtual reality application, we want to create the ambience of Malaysian society where they live in prosperity.


Organizational chart of Techno Apprentice...


During all the intense discussion, we have finally figured out our company's name which we collectively decided to call it by the name of "Techno Apprentice", and all the members’ position also had been decided. There are also some problems accrued during making the decision process, especially how it is hard to finally come out with the company's name. Other than that, I think the least problem is to figuring out ideas to invent a product for game design base on "One Malaysia" theme.

For our first task, Madam Rafidah wants us to form a group which contain ten members each one of it. After forming a group, I have to stay in the group and start discussing our company name with all the members, and we also discussed about what position for each member to hold in that group and all of their obligation or responsibility that came with the position.


All the group are very busy discussing their own agenda...

In our first group meeting, not much we have come to where we haven’t reach a point of agreement on making the final decision for our company name. One thing for sure of what we have succeed on that first meeting is forming the group and get to know each other among the group members. Due to our short meeting, and just for an introduction of anyone of us, we couldn’t make it to make an agreement to our company name and group members position.


My group seriously brainstorming for our big project...


Madam Rafidah also reminds us to choose two workshops that being held by FTM lecturers which mandatory for us to join. For me, I have chosen to join a workshop by Dr. Siti Jamilah Bidin on 19th July 2009, from 11.00 a.m to 12.00 p.m. at Workshop Room A, at Convention Centre, as my first workshop that I attended. The workshop title is How to Use Good Grammar in Professional Communication which took an hour to finish. I enjoy attending this workshop because of all the information that being provided by Dr. Siti Jamilah Bidin is truly useful in daily basis especially in communication that helped me to improve in English Grammar. I haven’t decided what kind of workshop I should attend for my next workshop.
