Assessment Task:
You should produce a 3,000-word GROUP report (+ relevant appendices as appropriate), outlining the following areas as a minimum:

 A description of the entrepreneur/s who started your chosen business,
including reflective comment on his/her/their current motivations and
behavioural characteristics and whether your observations of his/her/their
behaviour reflects the ‘norms’ of ‘typical’ entrepreneurial behaviour-sets

 Discussion of how he/she/they identified the original entrepreneurial idea
at the start-up/pre-start-up stage. Assessment as to whether they formally
researched and evaluated the business idea in detail before entering the
market, or whether they just ‘went for it’

 Comment on what he/she/they see as being unique and different about
their organisation and whether you perceive these differences as being
appropriate for the challenges faced by the organisation in today’s fast-
moving and competitive environment, and whether the organisation is
sustainable in this respect.

 Based on the theory, insights and observations that you have derived from
this module, you should provide 2-3 recommendations and rationale to the
entrepreneur as to what you would suggest should be done to ensure
sustainability of the organisation. The recommendations should be
consistent and appropriate to the organisation’s resources

 Based on the theory insights and observations that you have derived from
this module, you should provide recommendations and rationale as to what
the entrepreneur/s could do to ensure that the organisation develops (from
new) or enhances (an already existing) entrepreneurial culture.
Recommendations should be consistent and appropriate to the organisation’s resources and justified with appropriate reference to theory.
You might like to refer to local business support agencies and other business support providers if you feel that they would be of value to the
organisation.

You will need to draw from a range of academic theories, models and insights that you have studied and derived from your study of this module, using a good range of credible academic references.
