Abstract

This case illustrates several dilemmas faced by a founder of a new clothing start-up, Joan. The idea of starting a clothing venture specializing in comfort apparel was born due to a frequent problem encountered by her when buying clothes for her skin sensitive son. Despite having some working experience as marketing manager and research analyst, Joan found herself grappling with a number of key decision-making problems in her business venture – ranging from financing, vendor and material selection as well as human resources. This case describes challenges and problems of a business start-up at the inception or infancy stage of the business. Therefore, it is designed to provide understanding of the process of starting a business start-up and stimulate critical thinking and problem-solving skills related to entrepreneurial activities.
