Entrepreneurial project
Write a report on the concepts acquired throughout the course sessions
on a plan for an entrepreneurial project, whether strategic, organic, or venture, with particular
emphasis on the analysis of its mechanisms, milestones and differential approaches and solutions,
using the course materials, and trying to combine the critical analyses of the project in a coherent
paper.
This means presenting the vision, its 7Ws, its analysis in terms of entrepreneurial endeavor, its
present and potential solutioning and a search into alternative, differential, related issues (other
solutions, potential dangers, tendencies, etc).
The purpose of the plan is to convince the stakeholders.
This should be something you can be proud of !
In terms of the selection of the topic, there is any number – let me list a few suggestions, but feel
free to develop your own, and seek the lecturer’s approval.
Sandwiches, bio, farming, semiconductors, brand portfolios, energy, online platforms or shops, real
estate, electric vehicles, bicycle adaptation, crypto-trading, it, ai, dl, robotics, etc, etc.
As you see, the potential topics are numerous, and there are many more – make sure that feasibility
in terms of investment can be reached, as well as environmental sustainability and social balance.
There are different approaches, solutions, pros and cons for each project. For you to discover!
Make sure you define your venture well enough that it is doable, to not fall into superficial journalism,
but stay in business planning. You may situate your project in any of the stages of business growth
– from small business to holdings and further. Feel free to check with the lecturer.
And: most of all: convince the client/stakeholders. Your project must contain enough material for
the investor/client to say yes to.

In order to create a well-structured report or presentation, please consider the following:
• Your text and analyses must be structured using the appropriate theories, concepts, and
models;
• You’ll try and link the issues to the theories and models that we saw;
• Sections and ideas should be coherently linked together;
• Make sure that your statements address the issues covered.
In order to provide a great report, you need consider following points:
o Apply theories learned during class,
o Use techniques and tools learned,
o Use, where possible, academic sources (min. 5-6) in order to contrast and compare
the information, if not in the text, then in the appendices.
o In case you decide to use non-academic sources (newspapers, articles) they are not
part of the required 5-6 academic sources. Non-academic sources are allowed for the
descriptive part of your work and need to be included in your bibliography.
o Critically analyze the information acknowledged in your project and distinguish clearly
from your own research,
