Detailed Brief for Individual Assignment 

Title: Business Plan – Slide Presentation
 
Individual Assignment:

Please note: This is an individual assignment that builds on the earlier group assignment. While students are allowed to draw on the same initial venture idea developed at the group level, the analysis, development, justification, and conclusions of this individual assignment must be the student’s own. The depth of analysis, refinement of the original business model, market and industry evaluation, and strategic decisions are expected to differ significantly between students

Purpose

This assignment focuses on execution, conciseness, readiness, decision-making, and entrepreneurial communication. It builds on Assignment 1 but moves toward launch and growth planning.

Any specific instructions:

AI declaration form:

Please note you need to submit the AI declaration form as a separate file for this assignment (you can download it from the corresponding Assignment 2 site in Canvas).

Links to sources:

Please provide the URL, DOI, or other direct evidence that the source of information is authentic for each reference in your reference list. Do not use generic main website addresses (e.g., https://www.example.com).

Where applicable, include DOIs, permanent links, or links to specific pages or documents that clearly support your citations.

The Assignment:

Assignment 2 builds on the venture concept developed in Assignment 1 and requires you to individually create a refined business and launch plan in a slide-based format (Slideshow - max 15 slides). In this assignment, you will deepen and extend your analysis by situating your venture within a clearly defined market and country context, refining your business model, and demonstrating how the venture can be realistically launched and sustained. The presentation should show independent development, critical thinking, and application of entrepreneurial concepts, while clearly communicating the opportunity, value creation, feasibility, and early growth potential of your venture.

Please note: No live presentation is required; therefore, your slides should be concise, well- structured, and sufficiently clear to stand alone as a complete and coherent submission.

Recommended Slide Show Structure:

Any statistics, market data, industry information, or academic ideas used in the slides must be cited in-text and included in a final reference list slide.

1. Refined Business Model (2 Slides)

In this section, you must present a refined business model concept (compared to Assignment 1), showing how your venture responds to a clearly defined opportunity.

You should demonstrate:

  • Name of the product or service (Slide 2)
  • A confirmed problem–solution–customer fit, informed by insights developed in Assignment 1 and supported by further research. Identify the main benefit of your offering. (Slide 2)
  • Clear identification of the type of business (B2C or B2B), with a justification for this choice (Slide 3)
  • A clearly defined target customer segment, explaining the logical fit between the customer’s needs, problem, want or gap in the market, and the proposed product or service main benefit (Slide 3)
  • Main selected revenue streams, briefly explained (Slide 3)

2. Market and Industry Context Analysis (3 Slides)

This section requires you to situate your refined business model within a real-world entrepreneurial context. You may retain or change the country/market explored in Assignment 1.

Please describe:

  • The selected country. (Slide 4)
  • The identified industry in which the venture will operate. (Slide 4)
  • The industry size and demand, supported by data and authentic sources. (Slide 4)

Also, you should analyse:

  • One key market or industry trend that creates opportunities or constraints for the venture, and how the venture would respond to this trend. (Slide 5)
  • One regulatory, institutional, or cultural consideration that influences the industry, and how the venture would address it. (Slide 5)
  • Key customer insights and relevant consumer behaviour related to the product or service in the selected country/market. (Slide 5)
  • One key competitor, critically highlighting the main differences between the competitor and your venture. (Slide 6)
  • A clear and compelling Unique Selling Proposition (USP) that differentiates the venture from competitors or substitute solutions. (Slide 6)

3. Resource Logic and Planning 

Venture Structure & Team (1 slide)

  • Organisational structure of your Venture - Main team roles and responsibilities. (Slide 7)

Cost & Funding (2 slides)

Students should demonstrate a realistic understanding of early-stage venture financing by addressing the following:

  • Estimated start-up costs (to first revenue):
    Briefly identify and justify the main cost categories required to launch the venture until it generates its first revenue (Slide 8)
  • Funding type aligned to venture stage:
    Explain the most suitable type of funding for the current stage of the venture (e.g. bootstrapping, seed capital, grants, angel investment), demonstrating alignment with the entrepreneurial life cycle. (Slide 9)

4. Launch Strategy & Early Marketing Plan (max 2 slides)

  • Briefly explain your market entry strategy, demonstrating alignment between the product/service and the defined target market. (Slide 10)
  • Identify two or three key early marketing actions, showing a clear understanding of the target customer’s characteristics and behaviour. (Slide 10)
  • Specify the main distribution channel(s) and briefly justify why these channels are appropriate for reaching the target market effectively. (Slide 11)

5. Pitch - The Venture in One Story (2 slides)

This slide should sell the venture, not describe it again. Demonstrate knowledge about your offering, your potential market, and your target market. Also, demonstrate the attractiveness of your Business Model

This slide should answer:

What is the opportunity? (Slide 12)
A clear and compelling statement of the problem and why it matters now.

Who is it for?
The target customer and the relevant market context. (Slide 12)

What value is created?
How the product, service, or business improves the customer’s situation and why it is meaningfully better than existing alternatives.
The Value Proposition and Unique Selling Proposition (USP) should be clear. (Slide 12)

Feasibility (briefly):
Why this venture is realistic and achievable at this stage, including an indication of growth potential. (Slide 13)

Risk: Identify 1–2 key risks and how you would mitigate them. (Slide 13)

Your PowerPoint slideshow will be assessed on:

  • Coherence across slides
  • Alignment between opportunity, model, funding, marketing elements and launch plan. Consistent alignment with the target customer and market context.
  • Quality of analysis and justification
  • Clarity, structure, and professional communication

Any Specific Instructions:

The HBS Grading Criteria (rubric) will evidence how marks are awarded for individual parts of the assignment, i.e. Presentation and Structure, Intellectual Curiosity and Referencing, Content, Analysis, and Discussion.

Category 2 – Proofreading only permitted

You are permitted to use genAI tools (or a proofreader or proofreading service) to proofread your work, but you are not permitted to use AI tools to create content. This applies even if the assessment includes marks for English and grammar.
 
Students must comply with the category selected for this assessment. Improper or undeclared use of AI tools may be considered academic misconduct. For further guidance, please visit: https://ask.herts.ac.uk/ai-tools   (https://ask.herts.ac.uk/ai-tools)

Academic Integrity, Plagiarism, Essay Mills and Other Academic Misconduct Offences

  • You are NOT allowed to copy any information into your assignment without using quotation marks and a reference – this is ‘plagiarism’ (a type of academic misconduct).
  • You are NOT allowed to copy from other students (or allow other students to copy from you) – this is ‘collusion’.
  • You are NOT allowed to copy from your own assignments on other modules – this is ‘self- plagiarism’.
  • You must NEVER buy assignments from websites (essay mills) – this is called ‘contract cheating’, and it is now illegal in the UK.
  • Contract cheating is a serious academic misconduct offence and also includes arranging for help with an assessment such that there is also reasonable doubt as to whose work the assessment represents. It extends to input from a fellow student, friend, relative, or any other person, artificial intelligence, with or without payment of any kind.

The relevant HBS Grading Criteria (Rubric) for your assignment should be added as a table immediately below the assignment description. If you are, please contact your Module Leader.
