Business Plan Textbook

Before you begin work on your actual Business Plans, you are required to--as a group--research, select, purchase, and review a business plan instructional text. What follows is a reminder of this expectation from the course syllabus:

...once groups for the Business Plan Project are established through the Job Application Project, your group will be charged with the responsibility of researching, reading, and purchasing a "business plan" instructional text. You will be required to write a one to two page (250-500 word) "review" of the book which details the reasons for your choice of that book, its merits, organization, and special characteristics, as well as reasons for excluding others you considered.

So, by Thursday, February 26th, each group member will be responsible for conducting research, reading, and selecting a business plan text they think would be of benefit for this project. Then, each member will post a blog tagged 'your group name' in which you write a brief review/recommendation (150-250 words) of the text.

• Why did you like this book?
• What features were especially good?
• Why is this the one you recommend for this group (type of business, amount of detail, etc.)?
• Why is it better than some others you looked at?
• Be specific, thorough, and insightful.

Then, as a group, you will select and purchase (collectively) one text that you will use as a guide and write a 250-500 word comprehensive review of the text (see the verbiage above). This review will be posted to the course site and tagged BP Book by Tuesday, March 3rd.
