Does YOUR Group Have the Most Persuasive Business Plan?

• In Event: G.I.F.T.S. Session I

Abstract

Through the past few years, it seems the students who take the “business and professional speaking course” fondly remember this business plan activity, because it encouraged them to practice critical thinking skills. Groups of four to five students are formed to create a business plan. These students must work together to persuade small business consultants, classmates, and their professor to invest in their venture (which is promoted in the persuasive speech).
