Biography of an Entrepreneur

THE TASK: Your task is to analyse the life journey of one entrepreneur of your choice, using relevant sources of information (e.g., autobiographical, biographical, and other relevant secondary data) and unit of study content form Weeks 1-6. The purpose of this assignment is to provide insights into the entrepreneur’s journey by applying relevant concepts and materials from Weeks 1-6 to relevant data you have gathered on the entrepreneur and their activities. In doing so, you will move beyond simply describing the entrepreneur’s journey to analysing and reflecting on this journey. You have discretion in deciding on the content you speak to in your assignment.

However, you should have the following basic structure:

• Executive Summary: A standalone section that synopsises your report.

• Introduction: Assume the reader has never heard of the subject of your biography. Give a brief introduction that tells the reader who the entrepreneur is, their field of interest, motivations, key achievements, etc.

• Body of the paper: Topics explored here will vary, depending on the entrepreneur you choose to focus upon and the dynamics of their venture formation and development. Sample topics could include: - Opportunities: discovered or created? - Evolution of the business idea - The process of entrepreneurship - The role of innovation: type, scope, etc. - Interruptions and significant events in the process of business formation - Characteristics of the entrepreneur - Critical stages and transitions - Challenges in scaling up - Entrepreneurial ecosystems

• Conclusions and reflections: Main findings, extrapolated and reflected upon using appropriate unit of study material.

• References. The report should be written in discrete sections.

These sections should be linked together so the report is an integrated and compelling analytical argument that leads to your conclusions. Biography guide Page 2 IMPORTANT INFO: Length: 2,000 words (exclusive of references)
