Skills, Attributes and Behaviours of Entrepreneurs
A101 Assignment – Points to bear in mind – January 2020
General: – Need Title page including Title, Student name and ID, Module ref and date, plus contents page detailing shortened section title. NB all work to be referenced Harvard Ref Style CU Guide. In body of report each section with its appropriate section title and break down into paragraphs say no more than 8- or 9-lines max. Ensure it is easy to read both for you, the marker and the moderator. Remember you MUST include a title page, list of contents and the correct sub heading for each marked section. Failure to do this will result in lost marks for presentation and also across the assignment generally!
Ensure you write in third person – no use of I, you, we etc. Ensure structure is sound, spelling and grammar are correct and the report logically ‘flows’ from start to finish and is easy to understand. At this level of academic work – you need to show evidence that you have done research and demonstrate understanding by the application of that research.
Remember a template is provided – PLEASE USE IT ! NB: remember for presentation, grammar and spelling – 5 marks and for research / resources – 10 marks
Remember the following are suggestions – use the points as guidance if and where appropriate.
Word Count – The word count is 2000 words. There will be a penalty of a deduction of 10% of the mark (after internal moderation) for work exceeding the word limit by 10% or more. The word limit includes quotations and citations but excludes the references list.
1 Introduction – make sure you include a brief overview and an indication of what the report covers, don’t just list sub headings. Do NOT just repeat the list of contents! Brief overview and introduction to overall topic and try and include an original fact about entrepreneurship in general and try and link it to a similar closing fact in your conclusion. remember this section is worth 5 marks
2 Give examples of Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship – comprehensive definitions required and include detailed, valid and appropriate examples both of organisations to illustrate and further detail some of their activities that typify and underpin the descriptions. Don’t just state them – explain them! Use academic sources after doing research. Make sure your references are concise academic definitions. Also make sure your examples are authentic and appropriate. Also demonstrate how and why they meet your definitions and descriptions. References are a must. This section is worth 25 marks.
3 Explain the skills, attributes and behaviours of entrepreneurs– define all three with examples, explain why they are important and justify why all three are needed – include an example scenario if possible with a combining of all three? You also need to illustrate examples of application of some of the skills particularly within an entrepreneurial context. Remember to explain what they mean and include some real-life examples that you have researched. Ask yourself the question what skills do you think you need particularly for you to initiate a start-up business as an entrepreneur and try to identify the really key ones? Also remember the references. Remember this section is worth 25 marks.
4 What tools and stages are necessary to evaluate a new business idea – need to outline the key considerations e.g. could use finance, competition for chosen product or service, USP also need to differentiate. Need to consider profitability potential – will it make money? Appropriate use of models such as SWOT. PESTEL and evidence of use of techniques to determine marketing mix and research. Also explain both the details and the values of models and tools used. Remember 25 marks for this section.
5 Summary and recommendations – you need to make sure you conclude with constructive statements and some valid recommendations for achievement of any growth targets……… etc. Try and include a link back to your original remarks in the introduction. Please don’t just repeat contents of the report that you have already stated previously and detailed. Note 5 marks for this section. Remember the total word count is 2000 words – you need to extrapolate against the section scores to determine a maximum number of words per section as a guide to the structure and amount of content.
Environmental Science Essay
Instructions
OSHA issued the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals Standard (PSM) (29 CFR 1910.119) which contains requirements for the safe management of chemicals for companies that exceed OSHA’s threshold quantities for highly hazardous substances. This standard requires the establishment of a management program that includes conducting process hazard analyses, establishing detailed operating procedures, and includes other important requirements to mitigate the possibility of a serious, chemical related incident occurring at the facility. For this assignment, suppose you are a safety manager at a chemical manufacturing facility that manufactures concentrated nitric acid. You have heard that employees who load nitric acid into rail tank cars have been checking the pre-inspection checklist from the rail shipping office instead of actually inspecting the vehicles with the checklist in hand as required by the operating procedure. This has not been the first time the shipping crew has been lax about process safety
related work rules. Based on this scenario, please compose a research paper which includes the
following information:
Identify the chemical properties, uses, and primary hazards associated with common oxidizers
including concentrated nitric acid.
Identify important occupational exposure limits (OELs) associated with at least 3 common
oxidizers.
Identify PSM requirements that would be useful for preventing or minimizing the consequences
of a significant oxidizer related incident.
Using the OSHA Standard and your own experience, justify and validate the importance of the
PSM standard to your facility (if it stores and processes highly hazardous materials) or a facility
that may impact your community or a near-by community. Examples might include a water
treatment facility that utilizes liquefied chlorine gas, a coal fired power plant that utilizes liquefied
chlorine gas for water treatment, a food processing plant with a large ammonia refrigeration
system, a fertilizer manufacturing or storage facility, a chemical manufacturing facility, etc..
Your research paper must be at least two pages in length. You are required to cite the OSHA
Standard 29 CFR 1910.119 in your response as well as at least two other sources, one of which
must come from the CSU Online Library. All sources used, including the textbook, must be
referenced. Paraphrased and/or quoted materials must have accompanying citations in APA
format.
Developing a Lesson Plan Using Critical Thinking and Alternative Instruction
Instructions
One of the several reasons for offering alternative instructional methods is to help develop critical thinking in students. Critical thinking involves learning how to, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate material and concepts, and to demonstrate them. In this assignment you will:
1. Research the concepts of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
2. Read the documents in “Start Here” regarding each of these concepts.
3. Develop a detailed, comprehensive lesson plan that encourages critical thinking in any topic area of your choice, and which uses either analysis, synthesis, or evaluation (or a combination of these) to do so.
4. The lesson plan must be based on an alternative method of instruction, different from the one on which you based your Week Three lesson plan.
5. Accompanying your lesson plan will be a one page description of how critical thinking is encouraged in this lesson and the specific instructional methods chosen to do this and why.
For example, you could develop a lesson plan in cooking class in which students selected from a
wide range of ingredients to develop a recipe (synthesize), predicting (evaluation) how it would work, and then actually doing it in a live kitchen. This is an alternative form of instruction because it is experiential.
Another example might be to have students in a physics class build a model of a concept or give a presentation to the class where they explain how air pressure works. In having to build the model they must use the concepts of analysis and synthesis. In giving a presentation about air pressure they must use analysis and evaluation. This involves a student-designed activity and is
constructivist.
Lesson plan and one page write-up is due end of day Sunday please remember to reference and cite all sources 7th edition ApA style format must be used!!!!
