14 Analyzing for Selecting the Best Type of Business Organization

Carl Pavetto

Cohort 2023

Learning Objectives

For Assignment #2, the students’ objectives are to generate a proposal for a business that interests them and based on that idea, evaluate the available options for a type of business organization and select the best option for the success of their business idea. 

Purpose/Rationale

This assignment is designed to be re-used as Phase II in succeeding semesters. The subject matter of the project is timeless. Therefore, the project (1) will remain relevant in succeeding semesters, (2) will not “go stale,” and (3) will enable students to learn and apply the skill of critical thinking in a business context. 

Instructions

The instructor will provide at least three example business ideas. However, students will be encouraged to generate their own ideas. [ The default, should a student simply not be able to generate a business idea of his/her own (which is unlikely), is that the student can select one of the instructor proposed ideas. ] Thinking critically, and based on the information gained from Assignment #1, students will determine which business organization best assures the success of their business idea. 

Format Requirements

The deliverable will be a three- to five-page analytical memorandum using an analytical business memorandum template provided by the instructor. The template will be typical of analytical memoranda used in a business context and will serve the purpose of introducing students to written communication in a business context. 

Rubric/Criteria

The rubric is the same as that proposed for Assignment #1.
