FAQ's

Question 1: Does this paper replace the group business plan?

No, this paper is in addition to your group business plan.

Question 2: Should I use my team's business idea for this paper?

Most students will find it easier to use the same topic, but you may choose another business idea for this paper if you prefer. If you choose a different business idea for this paper, obtain your instructor's approval before beginning work.

Question 3: I noticed these topics are also subsections in the group business plan rubric. May my team reuse my work from this paper in our final written business plan?

Yes, you may reuse your written plan in your team's final business plan as long as it aligns with your team's overall business plan and fully addresses all of the requirements of the rubric for the final written business plan.

Question 4: Should everyone on my team choose a different topic?

The individual papers are standalone course deliverables. Since you can reuse content written by team members in your final written plan, you MAY want to coordinate, but that is not a course requirement. You have several different topics from which to choose so that you can select one that interests you and highlights your skills.

Question 5: If two of us select the same topic, may we collaborate?

No, this course deliverable must be written individually. It is not a collaborative component of MGMT600.

Question 6: When is this paper due?

Check the Course Schedule in your course Syllabus for the due date.
