Part 2: Business Plan – Draft

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a draft of your business plan and an income statement containing your business plan financials (i.e. Week 7 Discussion “The Financials”). Note: You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment.

You must intend to raise money for your startup company. You can start with money from friends and family but at some point you will need funds from outside investors, either angels or venture capitalists, depending on how much money you project you will need to raise. Another possible angle is to develop money through crowdfunding, assuming your product meets the demand of such audiences.

Before you can raise money, you must develop a business plan that convinces an investor that your company will succeed.

Section 1: Business Plan (MS Word or equivalent)

Read Chapters 18 and 19 of the course text: Successful Business Plan. Use the Plan Preparation Forms at the end of each chapter of Successful Business Plan as a rough guide.

Write an approximately fifteen to twenty (15-20) page draft of your business plan in which you:

  1. Revise the components of the following previously submitted sections based on the feedback you have received.
      1. Company Description (Assignment 1)
      2. Industry Analysis and Trends (Assignment 1)
      3. Strategic Position & Risk Assessment (Assignment 1)
      4. Target Market (Assignment 2)
      5. Competition (Assignment 2)
      6. Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy (Assignment 2)

    1. Describe the ways in which your company is committed to being a good corporate citizen.
      • Hints: Consider the following areas:
        • Creating jobs

        • Fair and honest treatment of employees
        • Non-discrimination of employees and increasing diversity of your work force

Provide a rationale for why you have or why you have not chosen this to be a social venture.
    1. Discuss how your company’s activities will affect the environment and identify the steps you will take to mitigate any negative impacts.

Eng 124 Discovery Channel research paper

Discovery Channel Program Exercise in Support and Credibility of Experts by

Googling

Parts 1 and 2 — minimum 5 pages of writing (approx. 1250 words) for

each person you research— Yes, that means 10 pages

How can you tell which online information comes from reliable authorities? Anytime

you use someone else’s words or ideas in your writing or formal speaking you should

be aware who that person is; you can start now investigating the reliability of any

sources you are thinking of quoting or paraphrasing.

We like to think that if information is in print, it is reliable. Unfortunately, that is not

always the case. People with unjust biases and even those who want to sow hatred

find their way into print. In general, works that appear in print go through a much

more extensive vetting process than what appears online, but there are so-called

vanity presses that will publish pretty much anything if the author will pay the cost.

There are also all sorts of periodicals that express slanted—and often conflicting—

points of view, some of them offensive to many of us. That’s what comes of freedom

of the press.

When you go online, how can you start to weed through a list of results to find

reliable authorities? For one thing, you can learn to “read” the list of results you get

from

Google

or other search engines.

Please document the following by taking screen shots and explaining in prose as you

work through your research in order to discover the possible credibility of two of the

experts from the list. Please number each part of your assignment.

1. Choose two:

Dr. Robert Folk, a geologist

Dr. Monica Grady, a meteorite specialist

Dr. Michael Persinger, neurologist and geologist

Dr. Joe Nickell, a paranormal investigator

Dr. David M. Jacobs, an historian

Dr. Jack Cohen, a reproductive biologist

Garry Wood, an ambulance driver in Edinburgh, Scotland

2. Take a screen shot of the list of links that appear. Be sure to post this and all other

screen shots in your paper. Before you click on a link, examine the first ten to fifteen

entries in the resulting list. Yes, you may use

Wikipedia

as one source for this

assignment. Look at each URL and see what you can learn from it. Also notice any

other information that might affect your opinion of the source’s reliability or

objectivity.

Are there sources that you immediately trust as reliable? Which ones, and why?

Are there any that you immediately assume will present a biased perspective?

Which ones, and why?

Are there any that are completely unfamiliar to you? If so, choose two or three and

speculate what type of source each might be.

3. Now click on a couple of the sources that you trusted as being reliable. Identify exactly

who wrote the document that you have accessed. If you cannot find an author, what

does that suggest? If there is an author, search that person’s name and see if you find

convincing credentials that support the assumption that he or she is qualified to write on

the subject at hand.

4. Do the same with at least two sources that you predicted would be biased. Does further

investigation support your assumption?

5. Go to at least one of the sources that were unfamiliar to you. Once you look more

closely at the source, do you find any evidence of its reliability or lack thereof? Explain.

6. Based on your research, do you think the expert is credible in his/her field? Give at

least two examples why.

Why is the health care industry so important?

needs to be a perssusive essay please. Anything dealing with the health care indutry. Dosent have to be perfect because its a rough draft.

  1. Rough DraftReview your working thesis statement and outline, then build on your starting draft to continue developing your persuasive essay. You’ll find information in your webtext this week about writing different elements of your rough draft. Your rough draft should include the following:
    • Introduction: In one to two paragraphs, you should grab your reader’s attention, provide relevant background information, and include your thesis statement as the last sentence.
    • Body Paragraphs: You should have two to five paragraphs for each supporting point. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence and include supporting evidence and your own persuasive analysis.
    • Counter Perspective(s): You should address one to three counter perspectives, or possible objections to your position, and respond to each.
    • Conclusion: In one to two paragraphs, you should restate your thesis and summarize your main points. Leave your readers with a strong final impression of why your topic matters.
    • In-Text Citations and Source List: You should cite at least four to six credible sources in your essay. Make sure you’ve replaced any placeholder brackets from your starting draft with in-text citations in SWS format. Include a source list at the end of the essay.

Make sure to fully respond to each question and to use the rubric to guide your writing (the rubric is used to determine your grade). I ONLY NEED THREE PAGES FROM TUTOR
