4to Curso Business Research Assignment - Business
Assignment:
You will work within groups to research into a proposed new business of your choice.
STEP ONE: Form a group of 3-5 students, and choose a business to research, including a name for the proposed business.
STEP TWO: Develop a formal Research Plan, and write a formal proposal for your activity. The Research Plan will be 300 words and must follow the Paper Writing Guidelines on the Course Blog www.cuartocursobusiness.blogspot.com and it must be typed or printed off a printer. The required headings will be:
BUSINESS
List your business name and the type of business that will be conducted.
BACKGROUND
A brief explanation of the type of business and the market it works in.
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Make a detailed explanation of the individual responsibilities of each group member. Review Unit 1.2 concerning new businesses, on areas that need to be considered when starting a new business. Each member of the group is individually responsible for writing two pages of the final report, covering two separate concerns.
LIMITATIONS
This will be a brief listing of issues that might make it difficult to complete your project, including lack of time, resources or access to information, and measures you will take to overcome the limitations.
TIME LINE
You will plan for completing the project in a series of steps, and provide times and dates for those actions to be completed. For example:
ACTION DATE STARTED DATE COMPLETED
Write Research Proposal May 12 May 18
Instructor Approves Research Proposal NA 20
Conduct Research May 25 June 28
Please note: This is not a complete example. The Time Line you develop should be much more extensive than this, and should include all steps and tasks to complete your research project, including writing and rewriting reports, consulting with teachers, etc.
STEP THREE: Conduct your research individually and as a group.
STEP FOUR: Analyze the results of your research.
