The BUSI 603 Week 6 method, step by step

  1. Start from the need

    Define the need the Business Plan Part I answers: who it is for, what gap exists, and how you know. A plan without an assessed need has nothing to measure against.

  2. Write measurable objectives

    Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.

  3. Choose methods that fit the objectives

    Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (Academic and industry research).

  4. Plan the resources and timeline

    Show the sequence and the resources. A realistic timeline makes the plan credible.

  5. Plan the evaluation

    Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.

  6. Format and length

    Follow the required template or headings and check length (13 to 15 pages of content, not including the cover page, table of contents, references or appendices) and APA.

Follow the section list exactly, with each as a heading. Put supporting data (surveys, market tables, resumes) in appendices and reference them in the text.
