Editor's Notes

  • #3 Reminder of Characteristics of an entrepreneur Divide into teams For this simulation everyone has a part to play. I am the president of the board of directors of a new mall to be build in Wichita This class as a whole will serve as consultants to the mall board Individual teams will become entrepreneurial partnerships, developing the stores to be located in the mall.
  • #7 Using only one word, describe how you see the mall. How will the outside be landscaped? What materials is it going to be made of? What attraction will be in the center of the mall? What color scheme will be used? Will there be outside parking or will their be an enclosed parking garage attached to the mall? How many floors are in the mall? Do shoppers walk from store to store, or should we offer movable sidewalks or trams to transport customers?
