Essay Topic: The Dragon’s Den case
I am looking for specific business ideas, your evidence, and your reasons for negotiating the situation in the Dragon’s Den case. If you can tie in a cultural aspect, great! As I said in class, "Remember that you may not need to answer every question in the case." You need to write 5-8 sentences per paragraph for a total of 20-32 sentences overall.
Try applying the following format/structure for your essay. Of course, creativity of ideas is your part. You would not write an essay using the same language every time. For example, the topic sentences provided are not the only topics to talk about the problem in the case. You need to adjust the paragraph's information according to your own ideas. Since I gave you an introduction, it may be hard to change it into your own words at this point…but please try.
In the introduction, describe your company, decide on how much money you need and what percentage of the equity you are offering. In the body of the essay, for paragraph 2 describe the problem at your company, what you have in place at this time, and your future projections (Considerations: personal investment to date, previous sales records, sales projections, and your technical knowledge or expertise.) In paragraph 3, discuss the advantages for Minhas if she invests in your company. In the conclusion, provide a summary reiterating why a Minhas should invest in your company.
