Please develop a tightly focused, strategically oriented paper. I will be looking for depth and breadth of your findings and analysis. Do not write in any section that you “couldn’t find needed information”. If you are not comfortable with the information available to you or that you can create, then pick another business enterprise or discuss this with your instructor.
Mechanics
•The paper should be a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 25 pages! You must tightly focus your thinking in this limited space.
•Double space, 1 inch margins with 12 point type.
•Page one should be your cover page with title of paper, your name, class, and date. Also put your name and a subject title in the header of each page.
•A "References" pages is required as your last page. It should include all outside references used in your paper, including your text. I would expect to see a number of references. Please use APA or MLA format for your references.
Concept Paper Template
Use this template for preparing the concept paper. In the template you will find complete instructions for what is required in each section. It is not meant to be a fill-in-the-blank template. The template has sample information that will guide you as to what must be placed in each section and how it may be done. Much of the information you will use may be hypothetical. It may be based on ideas but not always facts.
There is no financial section for this concept paper and no funding section. However, in the development of the paper you will have made assumptions as to the organizational structure and possible annual sales. You can look at the marketplace or the business opportunity and know that, while the numbers that you place in this paper may not be true, they are required for a "REAL" business plan.
So, in this paper, you may need to estimate the product or service annual revenues in order to fund your small business, decide on its corporate structure, and establish a five-year forecast based on expected unit sales, profits, and margins. This paper IS NOT a complete business plan, so there are sections missing that would be in a complete business plan. Knowing this, and knowing that a critical component is to be CREATIVE in your thinking, you will have to use your own creativity to complete some of the sections.


There are faxes for this order.
