GOAL
To find out possible business development opportunities
Assignment
DUE:
You are provided with ONLY 50 PLN capital + your time. Develop at least 7 ideas on the business you
can start with this capital. Do not bother with a formal side of business, assume that all formal issues
(i.e. formal registration, taxes, invoices etc) will be cleared for you later. However, do not add
additional "inputs" to your business such as specific skills, connections or knowledge even access to
internet-all cost have to be recognized within 50 PLN.
Stage 1:
Develop and write down your ideas and prepare a presentation. The restriction is that you will have
only 2-3 minutes to present each type of activity you developed. You should describe basic idea and
give an estimate of possible revenue, costs and profits over a week (or other period) of activity. Show
realistic assumptions on costs/revenues (for example costs must be supported by evidence from
shops, adverts etc.), prove that all this is feasible (for example do not assume that you can work for 24
hours per day etc.). Try to show how much finally you will earn per hour.
Stage 2:
Present briefly your ideas during class. Your colleagues will grade (by voting) your ideas. You should
prepare voting procedure (e.g keep list of project visible etc) as well as count votes.
Stage 3:
In final report you will have to present the conduct of exercise, original ideas, selection process and
results of voting. You should attempt to explain voting results (both why top cases were chosen, and
why some businesses were rejected), as well as perhaps remove some "low-quality" projects and
replace these with additional pieces, based on your experience. You can try to interview your
classmates why they voted the way they voted. Compare your primary feelings about each idea with
final outcome of voting. Make conclusions and try to use some concepts learned during lectures.
