Though we traditionally think that “small is beautiful”, the course focuses on businesses that are not intended to be small throughout their duration Rather we hope that with hard work and good luck, your “small” business can be expected to develop into a large and complex enterprise. A key vehicle for this effort is the business plane. The business plan helps you qualify the opportunity, and attract support from others. It helps engage and energize the founding team, investors, strategic partners, and vendors for your proposed business. An effective plan is a guide to managing the increasingly complex set of dynamics of a start-up, by providing the mileposts, and by indicating the resources that will be required to achieve them. Finally, it can provide a continuously updated set of guidelines against which you can evaluate actual performance.
