Abstract

Many scientific researches look for and study the success factors of businesses. (Colins, 2001; Móricz 2009; Osterwalder-Pigneur 2002:3; Chesbrough-Rosenbloom 2002:535; Casadesus-Masanell-Ricart 2008; Stähler 2002:6; ) After the economic crisis of 2008, attention has especially drawn to those businesses which successfully survived the previous hard times, probably due to their “best practices”. In addition to internal resources, the external environment effects taking place outside the walls of a business are likely to be crucial factors though it is neither incidental how and to what extent individual enterprises are preparing for the expected or unexpected effects of certain events. In our study we examine a unique business model based on a kind of revolutionary idea about an enterprise that was born and flourished in the crisis; using a “logical framework” of the “entrepreneurial quintet” business model in support of business decisions to throw light onto several key strategic issues. Applying the case study method we would like to process the success story of a real life business by means of logical and semantic analysis. The idea of the business in question and selecting its name, the appearance of business(es) and products were already done by looking for radically new ways when the owners wanted to find a totally different thing that is young, dynamic and progressive. The idea of the so-called “designer cake shop” did not even exist as so common among Hungarian businesses, and the idea generator of the business also thought that it is not enough if one of their cakes is delicious but it also has fashionable and aesthetic dimensions: “Let it be a pleasure for the eye too, not only for the mouth”. (SUGAR!) ----------------------------------------------------- Számos tudományos kutatás keresi, kutatja a vállalkozások sikertényezőit. (Colins, 2001; Móricz 2009; Osterwalder-Pigneur 2002:3 Chesbrough-Rosenbloom 2002:535 Casadesus-Masanell-Ricart 2008; Stähler 2002:6) A 2008. évi gazdasági válságot követően különösen is ráirányult a figyelem, azokra a vállalkozásokra, amelyek sikerrel élték túl a vészterhes időket, feltehetően a „jó gyakorlatuknak”. A belső erőforrások mellett a vállalkozások falain kívül végbemenő külső környezeti hatások valószínűleg sorsdöntő tényezők, de az sem mellékes, hogy az egyes vállalkozások, hogyan és milyen mértékben készülnek fel az egyes események várt, vagy nem várt hatásaira. Tanulmányunkban egy egyedi, a maga válfajában korszakalkotó ötletre alapozódó, a válságban életre kelő és virágzó vállalkozás üzleti modelljét vizsgáljuk, és a vállalkozói döntéseket támogató, „vállalkozói ötösfogat” üzleti modell „logikai keretmódszerét” használva világítunk rá az egyes stratégiai kulcskérdésekre. Az esettanulmány módszerével élve egy valódi vállalkozás siker sztoriját kívánjuk feldolgozni, logikai-szemantikai elemzés útján. Már a vizsgált vállalkozás ötlete és névválasztása, az üzlet(ek) és a termékek megjelenése is merészen új utak keresése jegyében zajlott, amikor a tulajdonosok, merőben más, fiatalos, lendületes, haladó dolgot szerettek volna létrehozni. Az un. „dizájn cukrászda” fogalma sem létezett például a magyarországi üzleti köztudatban, és a vállalkozás ötlet gazdái is úgy gondolkodtak, hogy nem elég, ha egy süteményük finom, annak divatos, esztétikai dimenziói is vannak. „Legyen az, élvezet a szemnek is, ne csak a szájnak”. (SUGAR!)
