Small Business Management 6th Edition by Timothy Hatten

Exercise 12

Your telephone rings early one morning. It is your small business/entrepreneurship professor, who tells you he just received notification that he has won the first Nobel Prize in Entrepreneurship. His plane leaves soon for Stockholm, where he will pick up the award, so he won't be in class today. Because you are one of the star students in his class, the professor asks you to conduct today's class, covering Chapter 4, "The Business Plan." Write an outline of how you would teach this class and what you would cover to effectively teach this material. Would you lecture? How would you keep discussion going? Would you show business plan samples? Where would you find them? Would you show Web pages? Which ones? You can do anything (except cancel class!) that your professor would do, but what would you do?
