• Important Note:

  By and large, the typical format for a business plan does not give the construct of globalization prominent positioning. Rather, the properties and practices of globalization are presumed to diffuse through the various elements of the conventional business plan format. Our class has strived to show that the issue of globalization is a pervasive and powerful moderator of the meaningfulness of most business plans today. As such, you are strongly encouraged to (1) include  a section that discusses specifically how your business plan either responds to an opportunity of globalization or how your business plan ably deflects  a threat posed by globalization and (2) include a sensitivity of your interpretation throughout  the remaining specification of your business plan. Hence, given the mandate of our class, the task incumbent upon you is to ensure that your business plan proposal is firmly anchored in, responsive to, and suggestive of the ideas of globalization.
