Squeaky Clean Car Wash Business Plan

Squeaky Clean Car Wash Business Plan Order Description Students are expected to communicate using a clear expression of ideas in all forms writing, from formal papers to Discussion Board posts. Effective communication includes the use of correct spelling, proper grammar, and appropriate sentence structure and punctuation. Students who submit papers with four or more errors should expect to receive a significantly reduced grade and may be asked to rewrite the project. The following rubric will be used to determine that the writing requirements of the course have been met, based on typical 250 points term paper project: INDIVIDUAL PROJECT RUBRIC Name Paper Topic / Title: Possible Points Earned Points Idea Generation and Development • Originality of the key Idea • Innovation – creativity • Anticipate volatility and solutions • Development of the business proposal • Achieve scale for success Required Content & Critical Thinking • Writer addressed all objectives of the assignment – Intro, body, conclusion. • Writer stayed focused on the topic, shows clear evidence of thorough research. • Writer used appropriate type and number of resources and experiences to defend position on the question at hand. • Writer uses critical thinking and analysis skills. • Writer addresses assignment using insights and new applications Writer interprets how new knowledge is useful to his/her learning 100 150 APA Formatting / Mechanics • Title page • Proper in-text citations • Reference page • Proper margins • Double spaced. • Font-type and size • Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation • Word choice • Sentence structure 100 Total 350 points TERM PAPER - PROJECT = BUSINESS PLAN or in Select cases an Entrepreneurial study The term project is a Business Plan that counts, with the PowerPoint, as about 1/3 of your grade; the specific topic is chosen by you and approved by me no later than the end of WK 3; choose a topic early. A forum for Topics is posted; you will submit your proposal, and I will comment in the Forum. I. will post additional guidelines and options in Week 1. You may want to investigate biz plan software The final project will be 25 – 50 pages with exhibits. Use APA format when in doubt, otherwise the plan format will follow industry norms and the needs of your specific project. Consult your APA s guide or the APA (https://www.apastyle.org/) web site, or links provided in Course Content. Compare sample plans from the links provided (Course Content) and on websites such as INC etc. GRAMMAR, SPELLING and GRAPHICS MUST BE 100% - any deviation can kill your funding. You are required to prepare a PowerPoint presentation or “slide-deck” of 10 slides for the project which will count 100 points. This is a critical part of the project, and will require extra care to achieve the target result. This is submitted along with the Plan in the Assignment Tab. I will also post some current guidelines for PowerPoint slideshows. Be on the lookout for start-up packages, websites that feature new products, or marketing slide-decks for new products you use or come across at work. This PowerPoint is emphasized more than in most other classes; it is a special part of presenting business ideas. Your audience for the Plan and PowerPoint slide show is the targeted investor – lender – partner – or co-founder – not the customer - you are seeking to make your idea a reality. I will be reading and grading these efforts. A major component of both Plan and PowerPoint will be the detailed financial models required to support the analysis and forecast sales, costs, profits etc. This portion must be strong. The optional Entrepreneurial study would be an in-depth comparison of an actual case history against principles and models developed in the course. It would probably be more work than the Biz plan, and would require a complete draft be turned in by the end of Week 6 so I could offer critique and comments for the final draft.
