「因為有夢，所以不畏懼任何挑戰；因為有夢，所以努力的試一次看看！」夢想讓我們鼓起勇氣，將天馬行空的點子轉化成實際的行動。本研究以10位夢想創業的下午茶餐廳創業者為研究對象，旨在探討：下午茶餐廳創業者的夢想故事、夢想創業者的創業基石，以及如何運用夢想創業者創業基石，來建構屬於我的下午茶餐廳。本研究以Jones與Hill所提出的競爭優勢之基石為依據，透過半結構式訪談蒐集資料，並交由三位評判人以內容分析法進行分析。在競爭優勢基石的5個構面中，夢想構面產生了7個因素項目，品質構面產生25個因素項目，創新構面產生14個因素項目、效率構面與顧客回應構面則分別產生20個以及16個因素項目。研究結果發現：10間下午茶餐廳夢想創業者皆以差異化策略為核心，產品必須與同業競爭者有顯著差異；店內的決策因素主要以經營者本身 (老闆) 的理念為主，有強烈的個人風格。而當夢想與現實執行上有所差異時，會依照顧客回應做微調，對於店內氛圍營造則以人情味為重點。10位受訪者皆表示，雖然創業過程艱辛，但實踐夢想的過程仍令人樂在其中。本研究研究貢獻為針對10間下午茶餐廳夢想創業者創業經驗，建構歸納專屬下午茶餐廳的創業基石因素，提供未來夢想創業者創業前的參考依據，提升店內獨特的競爭優勢。
