Entrepreneurship Project
You are to come
together in teams of 3 to put together an entrepreneurship.
The entrepreneurship
may be business, social, artistic or scientific. It may be
web-based or not.
You will write a paper
that dicusses
You will also produce
a web site for the project. If this is a web-based business, it
should be a mock-up of the web site. You do not need to handle user
inputs: you can just dummy up results for the demo. If it
is not a web-based business, you should provide a web site that
enhances the business.
You are expected to do
some marketing research. I had considered doing it on Second
Life, but starting a business requires that you upgrade to the for-fee
option and we're not going to do that. If you can find a way to
test market online, that will be great. More traditional methods
are also fine.
You will give a 20
minute presentation and demo to the class on April 17 or 19. The
presentation should cover the same material as the paper and the demo
should show off the key features of the web site. I will ask the
class to comment on all presentations.
There will be meetings
with me to review the fundamental concept, go over the first draft
of the paper, and walkthrough the presentation. More detailed
schedule will be available on Thursday.
There is a lot of work
to do on this project and the first deliverable that I will be asking
for is a schedule. It will be due Monday morning.
Thursday (March
22): Team formation
Note: Attendance is mandatory on
Thursday.
Every one will be given 1-2 minutes to propose an entrepreneurship that
they would like to explore. The class will then have "mix and
mingle" time to form teams and agree on a project. Team formation
should consider
