EntrepreneurshipDistrict level
The Idea Somebody Else Had First
The setting
You have been working on a plan for a mobile bicycle repair service that comes to the customer. A classmate has just launched almost exactly the same thing in the next town, and it appears to be going well.
Your role
You are to assume the role of an aspiring entrepreneur.
Your task
The adviser (judge) wants you to explain whether you still have a business. Explain how the venture idea was generated and what it rests on, explain how you would determine whether it is still feasible now that someone nearby is doing it, explain how you would assess the opportunity that remains, and describe the nature of entrepreneurship as you understand it after this week.
Performance indicators
Generate venture ideas.
Determine feasibility of venture ideas.
Assess opportunities for venture creation.
Describe the nature of entrepreneurship.
The judge will ask
1.Does a competitor in the next town make your idea better or worse?
2.What would you change about the plan today?
Strategic ManagementDistrict level
What the Business Is For
The setting
Your custom cake business has grown by saying yes to everything. You now take wedding orders, corporate orders and children's parties, and you are busy without ever having decided what the business is actually trying to be.
Your role
You are to assume the role of the owner of the cake business.
Your task
The mentor (judge) wants you to explain where the business is going. Define the business mission, develop the goals and objectives that follow from it, explain the nature of business plans and what yours would need to say, and explain the concept of management as it applies to running the business rather than simply working in it.
Performance indicators
Define business mission.
Develop company goals/objectives.
Explain the nature of business plans.
Explain the concept of management.
The judge will ask
1.Which kind of order would you stop taking, and why that one?
2.What would the business look like a year from now if this works?
EntrepreneurshipDistrict level
The Customer Who Wants Something Else
The setting
You started a tutoring service for high school maths. Most of the enquiries you receive are from parents of much younger children, and you have been turning them away because that was not the plan.
Your role
You are to assume the role of the founder of the tutoring service.
Your task
The adviser (judge) wants you to explain what you are going to do about them. Explain how you would determine the opportunities for venture creation in front of you, explain how you would assess those opportunities, explain how the venture idea should be generated afresh if you follow the demand, and describe the entrepreneurial planning considerations either path involves.
Performance indicators
Determine opportunities for venture creation.
Assess opportunities for venture creation.
Generate venture ideas.
Describe entrepreneurial planning considerations.
The judge will ask
1.Should you follow the demand or stay with your plan?
2.What would you need to learn before teaching younger children?
Financial AnalysisDistrict level
Where the Money Comes From
The setting
Your screen printing venture needs a press it cannot currently afford. A bank loan, money from family and simply waiting until you have saved enough are all on the table, and each of them costs something different.
Your role
You are to assume the role of the founder of the screen printing business.
Your task
The lending officer (judge) wants you to explain how you would finance the press. Explain the purposes and importance of obtaining business credit, explain the sources of financial assistance available to a venture your size, identify the risks associated with obtaining business credit, and explain how you would assess what the venture actually needs to start.
Performance indicators
Explain the purposes and importance of obtaining business credit.
Explain sources of financial assistance.
Identify risks associated with obtaining business credit.
Assess start-up requirements.
The judge will ask
1.Which option would you take, and what does it cost you?
