Team Mawan began their day at 9 a.m. at HQ Raleigh. The team was super excited for today because today was an “off-site” day in order to conduct research in the markets for potential product competition. Two groups were made, Amy and Adam, and Will and Scott. We split up a total of 10 different stores between the two groups. At each store there were different products and different associates. It was a very immersive experience because we were left to our own devices to conduct business questions and surveys in the real world. As we searched various clothing venders, like REI, North Face, and Bass Pro Shop, we were able to establish an idea for the market size of Vector Textiles and its competitors. Only in day 2, Team Mawan has achieved great success and learned an abundance about business strategy and surveying. To end our day we had a summary presentation to Mr. Self about our findings. He was very impressed with our hard work and abilities in real business scenarios. We left the office a little after 5 p.m. after a full days work.
