Part One
For this assignment, complete the Preliminary Capstone
Prospectus as described in the MBA Capstone Project Guidelines document given
in the resources. Examples of this proposal are located in Appendices A and B
of this document. Please use the Appendix A as a template for this assignment.
Be sure to review the Preliminary Capstone Proposal – Individual Scoring Guide
to self-assess your paper prior to submission. Submit your proposal as a Word document
to this assignment.
Remember to consider the scalability of your project. For
example, you may wish to write about Barnes & Noble, but that would require
hundreds of pages. However, you could choose to focus on how Barnes & Noble
has managed to survive the Internet age when Borders crumbled. Use this
opportunity to gain valuable feedback from your peers and instructor on
focusing your project. Keep in mind that your capstone project must result in
evidence-based recommendations, takeaways, or next steps.
Part Two
For this assignment, complete the Final Capstone Proposal as
described in the MBA Capstone Project Guidelines document given in the
resources. In essence, this is simply an updated version of your Unit 3
proposal, the Preliminary Capstone Proposal — Individual. Just fine-tune that
proposal and turn it into a paper instead of a table, with an introduction,
conclusion, subheadings, and such. This should be just 2–3 pages long and
should set you up to begin work on the actual capstone project in your next
course.
Appendix C of MBA Capstone Project Guidelines provides a
proposal outline for you to follow. Appendix D is the scoring guide from
MBA6900. It is included for you to review as you draft your proposal to ensure
that your project will meet the requirements. Submit your proposal as a Word
document to this assignment.
Part Three
Your project summary should be submitted in MS Word and
include the following:
- An
introduction that details what your project is and why you chose it.
- A
brief, preliminary outline of your capstone project. That is, create a
section heading in the project summary called "Outline" and in
that section provide a bulleted list of the main sections that you plan to
include in your actual capstone paper. They might include introduction,
company background, SWOT, recommendations, conclusion, and, of course,
various other sections in the middle.
- A
paragraph or two detailing what progress you have made on your project so
far.
- A
project plan that briefly outlines what you intend to do each week to
ensure timely completion of your capstone project.
- A
conclusion that wraps the summary up professionally.
