proposal and bussiness plan
This assignment has two parts. Using your conceptual paper as a foundation, the first part of this assignment is the proposal for your strategic practice initiative. Your goal is to get the proposal approved for full business plan development (the financial and other resources needed to develop a detailed business plan will not be available until the CEO and executive team as a whole endorse this proposal.) If the proposal is done with good diligence, there should be no surprises arising from the development of the business plan. In the second part of this assignment you will describe how you will influence the organization to approve this proposal, and what you would do if it is not approved.
Use your introduction to provide the reader a bridge from your conceptual paper to this proposal.
You should draw on what youve learned in the course as you complete the second part. What are the motivations of individuals and groups to be considered? How are values and ethics to be discussed around this proposal? Where is the power bases that you need to win over to get approval, and who could sidetrack it? How does this proposal hold up to what you learned about decision-making? If you had to negotiate to get this approved, how would conduct yourself in such a negotiation. You dont have to answer all these questions. But you are expected to relate what youve learned in the course to how you would lead to get this proposal approved in the organization (integration).
This is going to be imagined in large part, but it should be believable imagination based on theories in concepts you have learned. You are encouraged to use your imagination, and have some fun applying the concepts youve learned to your virtual organization and getting a proposal approved. Follow the rubric. If something in the rubric is not known, simply say it isnt known at this time. This paper cannot exceed 18 pages (not including title page, reference pages, and appendices).
