. Explain how you expect this course will help you move forward in your current or future career.

You have a choice between writing a business plan for:

• A snack food company.
• A startup company of your choice (instructor approval required).

Read the guidelines for each option. Once you select an option, you will work on that company during this entire course.

• Snack Food Company Guidelines [DOCX].
• Company of Your Choice Guidelines [DOCX].

All discussions and assignments in this class will focus on the company you select and describe in the Week 1 discussion.

Your faculty member will approve your selection in a reply to your Week 1 discussion post.
