The “Golden Egg” E-Portfolio and Venture Assessment provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate your potential as an entrepreneur in assessing the probability for success and a description of the “next steps” necessary to launch a successful small business venture. The assessment will be presented in the form of a final paper written assignment.
The objective of the final paper is to demonstrate the knowledge and skills you have gained from the lessons presented during the course. The paper may be used as the foundation for capstone course, BUS 437 Business Plan Development. Follow the instructions as given for completing the final paper assignment.
To assess the feasibility of your small business venture, you will analyze the key outcomes you have developed from engaging in the four phases of the entrepreneurial methodology—opportunity, solution, strategy, and value—as they relate to your business idea. As overall guidance for organizing your paper, the intent of the assignment is for you to synthesize the outcomes from your work during the course into a description and assessment of the feasibility of your business as outlined by the following five topical areas:
The Entrepreneur
The Purpose
The Plan
The Preparation
The Process
Based on the data and information developed during the course, you will create an eight- to 10-page APA-formatted Word document, with substantive analytical responses. In your paper,
