...final semester in the MBA program at Harvard Business School (HBS), and things were not going as expected. Spring break was about to start, but Henry, like many others in the class of 2002, was feeling the pain of the worst job market in over a decade. Henry recalled the troubled sentiment around campus: Going to business school during the aftermath of the Internet crash changed everything. Before the crash, the feeling was that if you graduated from HBS, you could take on the world. Now people were feeling a lot more insecurity. I was having some doubt about my own capabilities—about what I could accomplish on my own. Anxious to test his abilities and distinguish himself beyond the standard curriculum, Henry had decided to enter the School’s annual business plan contest. About six weeks earlier, in late January, Henry had teamed with HBS classmate Dana Soiman and the founders of start-up company Music Games International (MGI). The MGI founders—an HBS alumnus (MBA ’87) and two professional musicians—later brought two additional students from other institutions onto the team, creating a group composed of diverse views and talents. (See Exhibit 1 for team member bios.) The team was dynamic but very conflicted, and progress on the business plan had been slow. They had a promising product: a CD-ROM music game that children enjoyed playing while learning about music. The team could not agree, however, on a fundamental aspect of the plan—the target market for the product—which made...

...Business Planning I. Introduction A business plan is a formal document indicating a set of company goals, the plan for achieving those set goals and a description why the management believe that those goals are attainable and etc. Its primary value is to evaluate the viability of the potential projects and to analyze the business prospects. It may also contain background information about the company such as mission, vision and how suitable and feasible the project is, to the company. Business plans may also target changes in perception and branding by the customer, client, taxpayer, or larger community. A business plan will be useful to a company in many ways. Firstly it will clearly identify and focus the company objectives using suitable information and analysis. Also it can be used as a selling tool when dealing with lenders, investors and banks. A business plan is also a road map that provides directions so a business can plan its future and helps it avoid bumps in the road. The time you spend making your business plan thorough and accurate, and keeping it up-to-date, is an investment that pays big dividends in the long term. Business planning is very significant because it is the first step toward success in your business venture. From obtaining funding to hiring employees to planning for expansion, a business plan can be your guide to keeping your business on track.

...Thanks Business plans may be internally or externally focused. Externally focused plans target goals that are important to external stakeholders, particularly financial stakeholders. They typically have detailed information about the organization or team attempting to reach the goals. With for-profit entities, external stakeholders include investors and customers.[2] External stake-holders of non-profits include donors and the clients of the non-profit's services.[3] For government agencies, external stakeholders include tax-payers, higher-level government agencies, and international lending bodies such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, various economic agencies of the United Nations, and development banks. Internally focused business plans target intermediate goals required to reach the external goals. They may cover the development of a new product, a new service, a new IT system, a restructuring of finance, the refurbishing of a factory or a restructuring of the organization. An internal business plan is often developed in conjunction with a balanced scorecard or a list of critical success factors. This allows success of the plan to be measured using non-financial measures. Business plans that identify and target internal goals, but provide only general guidance on how they will be met are called strategic plans. Operational plans describe the goals of an internal organization, working group or department.[4] Project plans, sometimes known as project frameworks...

...start a business”. I found this point to be very interesting for starting a business has and continues to be a dream of mine. Within this category were sub- categories such as: business startup strategy, the right business for you, knowing your industry before you start your business, and estimating realistic startup cost. Although all very intriguing, I found the category on business startup strategies to be the most important for it gave the basics on how to start up a business, something that I didn’t know before The second key learning point that I found to be very interesting was where to start and what to do when “Buying a business”. I found this to be very interesting because if I can’t start a business, buying one would be the next best thing. Categories within this learning point included planning for purchasing a business, questions to ask when buying a business, knowing what you’re getting, and how to figure out what a business is worth. The last key learning point that I found to be very interesting while browsing the website was possibly more important than the first two learning points, “How to write a business plan”. Through the links in this category including: a standard business plan outline, different types of plans for businesses, what a business plan is, what makes a good plan, mistakes that can be made, a simpler plan for starting up a business and how long a business plan should be.

...Dianna L. Pittman Jones International University EDU630 Assignment 5.1 "Task analysis for instructional design is a process of analyzing and articulating the kind of learning that you expect the learners to know how to perform". (George Mason University) Although task analysis has been approached from several perspectives, there is one constant among them. Task analysis, at a minimum, assists the instructor or designer to understand the content to be taught. According to George Mason University, (n.d.) instructional designers perform task analysis in order to: * determine the instructional goals and objectives; * define and describe in detail the tasks and sub-tasks that the student will perform; * specify the knowledge type (declarative, structural, and procedural knowledge) that characterize a job or task; * select learning outcomes that are appropriate for instructional development; * prioritize and sequence tasks; * determine instructional activities and strategies that foster learning; * select appropriate media and learning environments; * construct performance assessments and evaluation. Below is a goal analysis I developed to assist learners in understanding the business planning process for a beauty business. Goal: At the end of six weeks, learners will know the main components of a business plan and through the use of business planning software, will develop a business plan that will be used to measure comprehension and be...

Since then, the manufacturer has expanded into stationery, various functional bags (think diaper bags), and licensing -- with lines of homewards (sheets, tabletop items, and wallpaper), as well as beauty products, eyewear, and shoes. Women's items are sold under the Kate spade name while men's products carry the jack spade moniker. The company, which is owned by Liz Claiborne, distributes its products in Asia and sells them in the US through about 65 of its own shops and in upscale department stores. Development Strategy There are few major steps that the founders of Kate spade took to grow the business and improved the shareholders value. The business expansion strategies can be broadly subdivided into three segments: (a) forming the company and implementing the business plan; (b) positioning the product for continued growth in sales, and (c) building the brand equity and expanding the business. Kate spade started with a group of self motivated people who put forth both financial and emotional support to form the business. The founders worked with no salary and 20% stake on the company for a prolonged period until the company started making significant profit. Unlike other early stage entrepreneurial businesses...
