In partial requirement for Management 304, students will prepare and present a detailed business plan for a company to be chosen by the group and approved by the professor. This project will account for 10% of the possible points for the class. Grading will be based on the level of detail placed on the construction of the plan as well as grammatical aspects and overall neatness/professionalism of the paper and presentation.
Students should prepare and present this business plan as if it would be submitted to investors to secure financing for the business at some point. Creativity in presentation and construction of the plan is encouraged by the professor. Often times, creativity and detail may positively influence the appeal of a business plan to investors. Students are urged to utilize any resources available in the construction of their business plan (i.e. Internet, Industry data, Library resources) as long as the plan remains the work of the student.
The hard copy of the business plan will be due on the date identified in the syllabus. Presentation dates for specific groups will be decided at some point during the semester.
Writing: Only one grammatical, verbiage, or structural error per each 3 pages will be deducted at a regular rate. Any paper exceeding this limit will be deducted at 10 points of the total paper grade per each additional error. (Voluminous errors may cease the need for instructor grading efforts)
