U.dream goes to market - strategic recommendations for the implementation of u.purpose-s business activities and empirical roadmap for the future
| Resumo: | U.Dream is a social enterprise targeted at developing social leadership skills. It recently launched U.Purpose (service) and Crescer com Consciência (product) aiming to ensure future financial sustainability. However, these were launched without conducting a market research and clear guiding strategy. The focus of this project is to assess the attractiveness of the CSR and children’s book markets and U.Dream’s current strategy, providing a strategic revision. As far as U.Purpose is concerned, the analysis highlighted the attractiveness of the market. In Portugal, the CSR consulting market is considerably underdeveloped and is expected to grow on the foreseeable future, which gives U.Dream the opportunity to earn a first mover advantage. Nevertheless, it was underlined that U.Purpose has significant improvements to implement before launching, namely, to develop an extensive marketing strategy and a dedicated U.Purpose team. |
