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 December 23rd.  If you wait until the last minute, you may not end up on your first choice team or your team may not be able to recruit enough team members.  There are five people needed per team.
