GEN302 Fundamentals of Innovation & Entrepreneurship Assignment - Emirates College of Technology

Future business - Opening Flower Shop in Abu Dhabi (please select name for this shop)

In this project -

You need to answer what matters most to you as you contemplate your future career and personal lives?

The entrepreneurial process is at its core concerned with "the pursuit of opportunity without regard to the resources already under control," as Professor Howard Stevenson of Harvard Business School originally said.

This process is as applicable to your career as it is to starting a company. The goal of this project is to identify where you want to be and how you will get there.

Do not worry about your current resources.

Think entrepreneurially.

Your personal business plan should include a long-term vision statement, the "external" opportunities that exist, your "internal" (personal) strengths, and a strategy for yourself and your life over the next three to five years. In addition, please share at least one "failure" from your pastand what you learned from it in terms of maximizing your potential for the future. The project should summarize as many of the areas below as possible, as well as the one "failure" wherever you feel it best fits.

Consider the following topic areas and questions as you work on your Personal Business Plan (future business after finished the university means still not exist)
