Remember PITCH EVENT MONDAY.

Start to talk about international and E-business. 

I am away on a field trip today.  Here is your assignment.  It is due next Wednesday after the Pitch event.  

Project Enterprise Post Reflection

The following questions will help guide you in explaining what you learned and experienced during the business projects.  The total will be out of 25 marks (5 marks for each question). Please answer in full sentences but you may use diagrams and numbers if they make sense in your answers.  You may want to include information from the Pitch event too. Good luck.  

Please answer on a Separate Paper.  

1. When you first started your social enterprise/business, what were some of the challenges you faced?  (Were they group related? Personal, not sure what to do? etc)

2. Was the project the same in the end as you expected in the beginning?  Explain. If not, how was it different?

3. What were some mistakes that you and your group made along the way (we all make mistakes, they are a chance to learn)? How would you handle these mistakes differently if you could go back and change things?

4. What are some things that you learned from this project?

5. How will you expand or use this learning in your future?

Today we will be talking about press releases and you are to write a press release for your business  and then post it on this site.  If you can't post it, send it to me and I will post it.
