Business Research (Tuesday Class)

As you know, we are not meeting on Tuesday.  Instead, I would like you to use the day to begin researching your business idea.  This way, you will make headway into your actual work--but also double-check that the idea (and market) are solid.

Here is your task--as a team, locate 10 credible sources about the INDUSTRY and then 10 credible sources about the MARKET.  When you are sure all of the sources support your idea, make two bibliographies (one for the industry, and one for the market).  If you find, through this research, that your idea (or location) won't fly, now is the time to change (and complete this exercise for your new idea).

Using this page will help you greatly: http://guides.library.ucsb.edu/content.php?pid=54111&hs=a

On Thursday, you will turn in the two bibliographies.  Be sure they are all good sources that back up your idea.  Please follow proper bibliographic citation information--use APA format.  (Google that if you are unfamiliar).

You will have the entire class on Tuesday to complete this, so please do your best.  When we return on Thursday, 8/18, we will pick up with this new information.

Thanks!
