FIRST ASSIGNMENT:

FIRST ASSIGNMENT

"It’s important to form groups and discuss projects before the quarter begins.  Even though the professor warns …. you only begin to realize how much work it takes to write a business plan at about week 8 … it provides an important (if painful at times) dose of reality."

                                   "Insiders Guide to Kellogg Course” (Written For and By Students)

The key to maximum success in this course is the opportunity to write a complete Business Plan that 1) truly interests you and 2) teams people with mutual respect.  However, time constraints mandate that these all-important team formations be accomplished very quickly. 

For this reason:

 

  1.   Students who cannot attend the first class cannot take the course.

 
 

  2.   In the first class, each student with a team proposal should be prepared to explain the concept well and "sell" it effectively.  In addition to planning a quick (five-minute maximum) presentation, visuals and handouts are encouraged.

Obviously, the earlier that work on team formation starts, the better for all concerned:

 
 

Each student is required to go to the

Course Blackboard / Communications / Discussion Boards

and follow the directions for Team Formation and Resumes.

This should be done ASAP but no later than March 20th .

COURSE NAME:

Successful Entrepreneurship

INSTRUCTOR: Lloyd E. Shefsky

CASEPACK (YES or NO?) : YES

FIRST ASSIGNMENT:

Attendance at first class session is highly recommended.

Read the Course Outline & Syllabus thoroughly.

http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/shefsky/ftp/ENTR463/syllabus06.pdf

I have kept the reading assignments relatively light, with the exception of the preparations for the first two classes.

Read Entrepreneurs Are Made Not Born.  I have arranged, at my own expense, for hardcover copies to be available to my students FREE.  As soon as you have registered for this course, see my assistant in Room 5228 to obtain your free copy.

This reading will impact much of the coursework.  It can and should be read by the second class, although doing so by the first class will prove helpful.
