Online Business Planning— How You Can Create a Better Business Plan Using the Internet This class will provide instruction and guidance in using Internet resources to help you develop your own business plan. The class will use a computer-equipped classroom and students must be familiar with using PCs, the MS Windows operating system and the Internet. A combination of classroom discussions and handouts, PowerPoint presentations and Internet resources, will be used to cover the various topics that should be included in your business plan— the types of information needed and where to get it. Students will use a computer-based course outline with hypertext links to Internet resources in given topic areas. This ‘self-directed’ learning environment will provide you with a directed discussion on the basic concepts involved with developing your business plan, plus the computer-based course outline that includes linked, online resources to gather the additional information pertinent to your specific needs. Topics will include an overview of business planning, market research and analysis, competition, pricing, budgeting and finance, personnel, growth, franchising, etc. Evaluate your business concept and develop a formal business plan. Identify your goals and establish strategies to be successful. The business plan helps you focus your daily activities, control your finances and obtain the capital you need to be successful. Without a business plan, you don't know where your business is going and you can't measure your progress. Take advantage of this low-cost, high-return learning opportunity today!
