BUSN3003 Entrepreneurship and Innovation Assignment 1: Venture proposal

Weighting: 20%

You are required to conceptualize, identify and describe a new venture and provide a maximum of 15 PowerPoint slides to be used as a sales pitch to potential investors in a maximum 20-minute presentation. You can choose any sector/category.

We are asking students to record audio to accompany their PowerPoint presentation. It is very easy to record and embed audio on each slide with PowerPoint. See the Assignment 1 folder of the Blackboard site to find a helpful video link that shows you how to record/embed that audio.

We also recognize that some students might be a little shy to record audio. Therefore we are providing students with a second option whereby you include within the presentation typed notes in the Notes pages of each relevant PowerPoint slide. These notes will read like a ‘script’ as if you were reading the pitch. 

So you have two options.

It is expected that students will draw on content from Topics 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
