Top
Ten List
Assignment
|
In order to complete the assignment, you will have to review the book assignment you did on small businesses, the notes from our guest speakers (Jeff Smith and Mr. Katz), the interview you did with the small business owner, and the readings you did on small businesses in class. After you review all the appropriate materials, you will determine what you think are the top ten things an entrepreneur must consider when he/she is going to start up a new business. You must take into consideration all of the factors of production, the way the business is organized, the necessity of a good idea, government regulations, and anything else you have picked up along the way. When you have determined your top ten considerations, you must create a Top Ten List, in the style of the David Letterman Show, from tenth to first. One difference between your list and David Letterman’s, however, is that yours will be annotated. Each item on the list will have a short paragraph explaining why it is on the list, and why it is ranked that way. In other words, why is it important, and why is it ranked seventh instead of first? On the subject of working together vs. copying: if you want to brainstorm with someone else in the class as you are creating your list, you may. However, no two students may have identical lists, so be sure to separate when you start to create your final list. To sum up: you are handing in two things, the poster and the annotated list. The annotated list should be in ink or typed, and you should be ready to explain your items on your list when you post your list. Anyone who wants to present theirs, “David Letterman style,” will be welcome to. |
This is an actual top ten list from the Letterman Show on
