International Business Project
FACULTY OF BUSINESS AND LAW
Prerequisite :
INB5107 International Business
The ability to research and write a formal business plan is an
important skill in effective middle or senior managers. The
business plan may serve as a roadmap to the business, and/or as a
device to help secure strategic assets such as investment funding
and key personnel. Without a business plan, firms may proceed
from crisis to crisis. This could be avoided by adequate forward
planning. Persons starting their own business and companies
wishing to expand require business planning skills. Employers
want graduates who can research and write formal business plans
that integrate all aspects of a business into a coherent document.
