You are responsible for generating a Business Plan for a new
invention that was produced by your companies Research and
Development department. Your goal is to secure funding to pursue
the marketing and selling this product in the commercial
marketplace. For this essay, you are to create an 'Executive
Summary' for this business plan. It is not required to be the
recommended size of a typical Exec Summary (2-3 pages), 2 - 3 well
constructed paragraphs should be adequate.
You will need to conceptualize a theoretical product and
marketplace about which the plan will be written. In the spirit of
business being 'both Art and Science', be sure to be creative in
your ideas and assumptions. I suggest you refer to suggestions for
a good Executive Summary for specific areas to focus on.
