: evaluation of business planning Theory & practice
During the module you have applied a wide range of professional techniques and academic frameworks in order to investigate, analyse and develop a business plan for a new product or service.
The focus of this final assignment is on business planning in theory and practice. You will look back at the techniques and frameworks that you have used and evaluate their contribution to the development and refinement of your business idea and ultimately to the presentation of your business plan.
| There are a number of key steps involved: 1. Identification of techniques, frameworks, theories that were used. In addition to principles of business planning, SOSTAC, project management and virtual teams you will also have drawn on concepts and frameworks from all your other modules, for example, PESTEL, Tuckman, marketing mix… 2. Selecting the most interesting and/or useful techniques/frameworks: a. Application – give examples and explain how you used the technique/framework in your team. b. Results – what did you find out? How did the technique contribute to your business project? c. Evaluation – How useful was the technique/framework you used in this context? How could the technique/framework be adapted to make it more useful in your context? 3. Conclusion: a. Which techniques/frameworks did you find most effective for the development of your business plan and for the organisation and management of your team? b. What would you do differently if you were to do the project again? 4. Team Evaluation Form |
