MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
For the capstone assessment, you will create a business implementation plan and audiovisual presentation for the product, service, or idea you have been
developing throughout your MBA coursework. You will be assessed through two artifacts. The first will be a business implementation plan, detailing the concept
and proposed implementation for potential investors or senior managers. The second artifact will be an audiovisual presentation designed to pitch the concept
(including implementation) to the same audience.
To effectively respond to the demands of a rapidly evolving business environment, today’s business managers need to possess a solid grounding in the theory,
best practices, and approaches that drive internal decision-making as well as the various external factors that can impact business choices. Perhaps no function
encompasses as many of these critical skills as ushering a new business idea, product, or service from initial conception to implementation. Throughout your
MBA coursework, you have been working to develop a business concept (product, service, or idea), considering the different elements that impact decision
making and creating a business plan for moving the concept forward successfully. As the final step in your journey toward your Master of Business Administration
degree, your capstone will bring all that work to the doorstep of implementation through the creation of a business implementation plan and an audiovisual
presentation designed to present the idea to potential investors or senior managers. You will integrate the knowledge and skills you have developed in previous
coursework and over the duration of the term with the goal of having a “ready to launch” project that you can present to an employer or potential financial
backer moving forward.
The capstone project is composed of two components. The first is a business implementation plan detailing your concept and its proposed implementation for
potential investors or senior managers. This plan should show potential supporters that you have done your homework and assure them that you have covered
all the details necessary to ensure that their money and/or time will be well invested. The second component, an audiovisual presentation (such as a webcam
recording or PowerPoint presentation with audio), will allow you to design and practice your “pitch.” In it, you will briefly present the key features of your
concept (including implementation) with an eye toward convincing busy business executives and potential investors to support your idea. Because many MBA
programs end with the creation of a business plan, your ability to take the next step in planning for implementation will give you an important advantage both in
gaining support for your project and in showcasing your ability to think through all phases of a project.

MBA Capstone Project Guidelines
Throughout your MBA program, you have worked to develop as a practitioner-scholar to meet the needs and future challenges as a business leader. Your program culminates in the capstone project, which forms the primary focus of MBA6900, the final course you will take in the program. The capstone project is intended to provide you the opportunity to demonstrate your MBA program outcomes by:
· Planning and executing the strategic and tactical elements of a comprehensive project.
· Integrating and demonstrating skills and techniques you have learned throughout the MBA program.
· Communicating project outcomes both in written form and in a formal presentation.
· Completing your MBA program with an experience that reinforces and integrates the components that have preceded it.
The following information outlines the requirements and work associated with the capstone project for MBA6028 and MBA6900.
Capstone Project Examples
Examples of project types that might be proposed to meet these requirements include but are not limited to:
· Preparation of a strategic plan for an organization.
· A strategic analysis of all or a selected part of an organization.
· Development of a case study of all or a selected part of an organization.
· Development of an intervention, such as a workshop or training activity, that is broad- based enough to demonstrate the program-level outcomes.
· Development of a consulting report on a problematic issue within an organization, provided that the issue is broad-based enough to demonstrate program-level outcomes.
You may propose other structures for the capstone project so long as you are able to identify how the proposed project satisfies the requirement of demonstrating the program-level outcomes. When choosing your topic, keep in mind that your capstone project must result in recommendations, next steps, or some other type of actionable, evidence-based take-aways for the reader or subject of the project.

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project This capsto.docxwkyra78
MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project
This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a
business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the
full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in
your educational career.
Project Overview
This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The
process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices
about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic
planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants
acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the
strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the
steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking
that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors
and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and
perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider
how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a
primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative
ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in
preparation for your final project.
Tips for Selecting an Organization
As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting,
possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges
in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical
issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve
contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information
while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development,
implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in
should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points
made above.
Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and
related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market
changes, and so forth in great depth. A.

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project
This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a
business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the
full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in
your educational career.
Project Overview
This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The
process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices
about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic
planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants
acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the
strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the
steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking
that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors
and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and
perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider
how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a
primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative
ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in
preparation for your final project.
Tips for Selecting an Organization
As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting,
possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges
in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical
issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve
contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information
while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development,
implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in
should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points
made above.
Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and
related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market
changes, and so forth in great depth. A.

Robert W. McChesney – 1952-
Three Historical Narratives:
Oral to Electronic Culture
Oral Culture – all interactions take place in face-to-face discussions.
Written Culture – a shared system of inscription in a literate society exists so that communication can take place outside of face-to-face discussions across time and space.
Print Culture – an expansion of Written Culture that encompasses the consequent social and cultural changes that result from the proliferation of printer material.
Electronic Culture – communication transcends time and space.
There is a different sense of time in Oral Culture, according to Ong.
Since there are no records, memory cannot be recorded. History
can only reside in the present, in the telling of the story. Memory
is thematic and formulaic. The story may vary very little from telling to
telling over time, but the words and phrases used may differ.
Performance is the key to authorship. Every time a story is told or a work is
performed, it is shaped by the performer and provides a new model for future performances.
Oral cultures are relatively homogeneous with respect to knowledge and social norms but public and shared across generations.
Written Culture, according to McLuhan , has been the means of creating
‘civilized man.’
According to Innis, written communication allowed societies to persevere through time by creating durable texts which could be handed down and referred to. This allowed for control of knowledge by certain hierarchies and also allowed for centralized control to expand over a wider area.
Audiences could be remote in time and space, and the communicator could guarantee that the message received is identical to the one sent without having to rely on the memory of the messenger. The communicator could reach a wider and more disparate audience.
Print Culture – the ability to mechanically reproduce text freed writing
from its reliance on an elite group of individuals and guaranteed that
each copy of the text would be identical to every other copy.
Printing was instrumental in the development of a secular society and in the establishment of a democracy among the upper classes in early
modern Europe, according to historian, Elizabeth Eisenstein.
Printing reinforced the sense of individuality and privacy and makes
Introspection possible.
Printing enabled the emergence of the newspaper and the novel, and
altered the very structure of human consciousness and thought.
Electronic Culture – the telegraph reorganized people’s perception of space and time; it enabled the transmission of messages across space, and it fostered a rational reorganization of time. The telegraph also separated transportation from communication.
According to Innis, electronic culture allows for a new fo.

Measuring to Improve Medication Reconciliation
in a Large Subspecialty Outpatient Practice
Elizabeth Kern, MD, MS; Meg B. Dingae, MHSA; Esther L. Langmack, MD; Candace Juarez, MT; Gary Cott, MD;
Sarah K. Meadows, MS
Background: To assess performance in medication reconciliation (med rec)—the process of comparing and reconciling
patients’ medication lists at clinical transition points—and demonstrate improvement in an outpatient setting, sustainable
and valid measures are needed.
Methods: An interdisciplinary team at National Jewish Health (Denver) attempted to improve med rec in an ambulatory
practice serving patients with respiratory and related diseases. Interventions, which were aimed at physicians, nurses (RNs),
and medical assistants, involved changes in practice and changes in documentation in the electronic health record (EHR).
New measures designed to assess med rec performance, and to validate the measures, were derived from EHR data.
Results: Across 18 months, electronic attestation that med rec was completed at clinic visits increased from 9.8% to 91.3%
(p < 0.0001). Consistent with this improvement, patients with medication lists missing dose/frequency for at least one prescription-
type medication decreased from 18.1% to 15.8% (p < 0.0001). Patients with duplicate albuterol inhalers on their list decreased
from 4.0% to 2.6% (p < 0.0001). Percentages of patients increased for printing of the medication list at the visit (18.7% to
94.0%; p < 0.0001) and receipt of the printed medication list at the visit (52.3% to 67.0%; p = 0.0074). Documentation
that patient education handouts were offered increased initially then declined to an overall poor performance of 32.4% of
clinic visits. Investigation of this result revealed poor buy-in and a highly redundant process.
Conclusion: Deriving measures reflecting performance and quality of med rec from EHR data is feasible and sustainable
over the time periods necessary to demonstrate change. Concurrent, complementary measures may be used to support the
validity of summary measures.
Medication reconciliation (med rec) is the process of sys-tematically and comprehensively reviewing the
medications a patient is taking, to ensure that medications
added, changed, or discontinued are evaluated for poten-
tial safety concerns. One of the three current Joint
Commission National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) on med-
ication safety (Goal 3), concerns medication reconciliation,
which ambulatory care organizations have been expected to
perform since 2005. The current version of the goal
(NPSG.03.06.01), effective July 1, 2011, stipulates that am-
bulatory care organizations maintain and communicate
accurate patient medication information.1 One require-
ment is that the organization obtain the patient’s medication
information at the beginning of an episode of care, with the
information to be updated when the patient’s medications
change. Ideally, med rec should occur at each transition of
care or han.

Measuring Performance at Intuit A Value-Added Component in ERM Pr.docxalfredacavx97
Measuring Performance at Intuit: A Value-Added Component in ERM Programs
ABC Organization is looking to improve on their Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. A board member saw Intuit’s ERM Performance Measurement Model case study. As with any ERM program, Intuit’s program has continued to evolve since 2009.
Intuit’s ERM program began with the company's practice of risk management on an ad hoc basis. When a problem occurred, team were formed to address the issue. When it was over, it was back to business as usual. In the late 2000’s, Intuit’s ERM program focused on building a sustainable risk management capability. The program provided leadership with current and emerging risks to help them make strategic decisions. Intuit built the program using a ERM maturity model to get the right foundation. It was realized that executive leadership needed to measure the performance of the program. So key risk indicators (KRIs) were used to understand the potential emerging risks and any trends that may impact current risks. Also, key performance indicators (KPIs) can help in understanding and manage current risks. By identifying these KRIs and KPIs in the, the case study reader should gain an understanding of the importance of and the need to incorporate these indicators.
As risk manager, you are responsible for ensuring your organization minimizes its risks. Your board became aware of this case study and has asked you to create a presentation for the next board meeting where you will present information about this case study and the effects of implementing KPIs and KRIs at Intuit.
Create a PowerPoint® narration report of at least 20 slides based on your findings about this case study along with the message that is delivered based upon this case (not including the cover page and reference page). If you do not own a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint use a comparable slide software or Google Slides (free and accessible from Google.com). In the presentation, address the following from the Intuit ERM program:
· What represents the key performance indicators of the ERM program?
· What represents the key risk indicators of the ERM program?
· What improvements would you make?
· Does this represent an effective risk management program? If not, what is missing? (Support your response with details from the case study and properly cited references.)
· Would this program work for a publicly traded corporation of similar size?
· How important do you view alignment and accountability among a management team?
Make sure to provide a reference slide that provides APA citations of any sources used in the PowerPoint presentation. This slide does not require narration. Written Parameters/Expectations:
· At least 20 slides in length, with each slide having a written narration in Standard English explaining the key ideas in each slide.
· The written narrative presentation should have a highly developed and sustained viewpoint and purpose.
· The written communication.

Details
In his iconic speech at the Lincoln Memorial for the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King urged America to "make real the promises of democracy." King synthesized portions of his earlier speeches to capture both the necessity for change and the potential for hope in American society.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. [applause]
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves [Audience:] (Yeah) who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. (Hmm)
But one hundred years later (All right), the Negro still is not free. (My Lord, Yeah) One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. (Hmm) One hundred years later (All right), the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later (My Lord) [applause], the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land. (Yes, yes) And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence (Yeah), they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men (My Lord), would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. (My Lord) Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked insufficient funds. [enthusiastic applause] (My Lord, Lead on, Speech, speech)
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. (My Lord) [laughter] (No, no) We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. (Sure enough) And so we’ve come to cash this check (Yes), a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom (Yes) and the security of justice. (Yes Lord) [enthusiastic applause]

Measures of Similaritv and Dissimilaritv 65the comparison .docxalfredacavx97
Measures of Similaritv and Dissimilaritv 65
the comparison between people will be dominated by differences in income. In
particular, if the similarity or dissimilarity of two people is calculated using the
similarity or dissimilarity measures defined later in this chapter, then in many
cases, such as that of Euclidean distance, the income values will dominate the
calculation.
The mean and standard deviation are strongly affected by outliers, so the
above transformation is often modified. First, the mean is replaced by the
median, i.e., the middle value. Second, the standard deviation is replaced by
the absolute standard deviation. Specifically, if r is a variable, then the
absolute standard deviation of r is given by oa : Dlrl*n - ltl, where ri is
lhe 'ith value of the variable, rn is the number of objects, and. p, is either the
mean or median. Other approaches for computing estimates of the location
(center) and spread of a set of values in the presence of outliers are described
in Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4, respectively. These measures can also be used to
define a standardi zation transformation.
2.4 Measures of Similarity and Dissimilarity
Similarity and dissimilarity are important because they are used by a number
of data mining techniques, such as clustering, nearest neighbor classification,
and anomaly detection. In many cases) the initial data set is not needed once
these similarities or dissimilarities have been computed. Such approaches can
be viewed as transforming the data to a similarity (dissimilarity) space and
then performing the analysis.
We begin with a discussion of the basics: high-level definitions of similarity
and dissimilarity, and a discussion of how they are related. For convenience,
the term proximity is used to refer to either similarity or dissimilarity. Since
the proximity between two objects is a function of the proximity between the
corresponding attributes of the two objects, we first describe how to measure
the proximity between objects having only one simple attribute, and then
consider proximity measures for objects with multiple attributes. This in-
cludes measures such as correlation and Euclidean distance, which are useful
for dense data such as time series or two-dimensional points, as well as the
Jaccard and cosine similarity measures, which are useful for sparse data like
documents. Next, we consider several important issues concerning proximity
measures. The section concludes with a brief discussion of how to select the
right proximity measure.

Informally, the similarity between two objects is a numerical measure of the
degree to which the two objects are alike. Consequently, similarities are hi,gher
for pairs of objects that are more alike. Similarities are usually non-negative
and are often between 0 (no similarity) and 1 (complete similarity).
The dissimilarity between two objects is a numerical measure of the de-

Case Study: Privacy
CASE STUDY: PRIVACY
You are a reporter for WKRN-TV, covering local police activity as part of your beat. Your editor
tells you to get over to McGavock High School as quickly as possible. An anonymous caller,
saying she lives across the street from the public school, told a news editor she heard four or
five gunshots coming from the school building as she was outside walking her dog. Within
seconds, she says, students were running outside and screaming. A listen to the police band
receiver in the newsroom indicates something is up at the school.
You take a videographer and arrive on the scene about 1:30 p.m. Five or six Metro police cars
are parked near the school, and an ambulance arrives seconds later as you get out of your car.
The entrance to the school building is blocked off and police are guarding the area, admitting no
one except authorities into the building.
After questioning police, you confirm the fact there has been a shooting, but that’s as far as you
get. You begin asking bystanders for more information. A number of McGavock students have
remained at the scene. Several tell you a student was shot in a first-floor restroom. A girl who
claims to be a friend of the victim says his name is James DeVore, a freshman. She said she
thinks he is 14 years old. Another student says DeVore recently turned 15.
No one present knows who is responsible for the shooting. Minutes later police escort a young
man, handcuffed, from the school building. They place him in a squad car and drive away. You
ask people in the crowd if anyone can identify the alleged suspect. At least four tell you he is
Brian Samuels, a sophomore. You ask police at the scene to confirm this information, but no one
will reply.
Your videographer tells you she got footage of the boy being placed in the squad car. While
talking to her, you hear screams in the background. You run around the side of the building to
the loading dock area. Police have taped off the immediate area but you can see what’s going
on. EMTs are wheeling the covered body of the victim to an ambulance waiting near the dock.
Some students are crying. The videographer gets shots of the body being placed into the
ambulance and close-ups of crying students.
You approach several police officers standing near a squad car, hoping to get more facts. Inside
the squad car an officer is radioing into police headquarters. You hear him saying “the victim is
James DeVore, age 15.” The officer radios that the suspect, Samuels, has admitted to the
shooting. You also hear the following: “Samuels said it was it was payback, that DeVore had
sexually assaulted Samuels’ 6-year-old sister.” Because you are under deadline, you decide not
to interview the officers personally and head back to the station.
When you get back to the station, a colleague tells you he covered a story two years ago on
another in.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview .docx
1. MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
For the capstone assessment, you will create a business
implementation plan and audiovisual presentation for the
product, service, or idea you have been
developing throughout your MBA coursework. You will be
assessed through two artifacts. The first will be a business
implementation plan, detailing the concept
and proposed implementation for potential investors or senior
managers. The second artifact will be an audiovisual
presentation designed to pitch the concept
(including implementation) to the same audience.
To effectively respond to the demands of a rapidly evolving
business environment, today’s business managers need to
possess a solid grounding in the theory,
best practices, and approaches that drive internal decision-
making as well as the various external factors that can impact
business choices. Perhaps no function
encompasses as many of these critical skills as ushering a new
business idea, product, or service from initial conception to
implementation. Throughout your
MBA coursework, you have been working to develop a business
concept (product, service, or idea), considering the different
elements that impact decision
making and creating a business plan for moving the concept
forward successfully. As the final step in your journey toward
your Master of Business Administration
degree, your capstone will bring all that work to the doorstep of
2. implementation through the creation of a business
implementation plan and an audiovisual
presentation designed to present the idea to potential investors
or senior managers. You will integrate the knowledge and skills
you have developed in previous
coursework and over the duration of the term with the goal of
having a “ready to launch” project that you can present to an
employer or potential financial
backer moving forward.
The capstone project is composed of two components. The first
is a business implementation plan detailing your concept and its
proposed implementation for
potential investors or senior managers. This plan should show
potential supporters that you have done your homework and
assure them that you have covered
all the details necessary to ensure that their money and/or time
will be well invested. The second component, an audiovisual
presentation (such as a webcam
recording or PowerPoint presentation with audio), will allow
you to design and practice your “pitch.” In it, you will briefly
present the key features of your
concept (including implementation) with an eye toward
convincing busy business executives and potential investors to
support your idea. Because many MBA
programs end with the creation of a business plan, your ability
to take the next step in planning for implementation will give
you an important advantage both in
gaining support for your project and in showcasing your ability
to think through all phases of a project.
Evaluation of Capstone
This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other
courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are two separate
components that operate
together to comprise the whole capstone experience and are not
3. assessed separately. You will be evaluated on both as a unit in
determining whether you have
demonstrated proficiency in each outcome. Your work is
expected to meet the highest professional standards.
The project is divided into six milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six. The final submission for
Capstone Component 1 and
Capstone Component 2 is due in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
qualitative techniques and information technology skills for
effective problem solving and
decision making
-functional teams in complex
and diverse business environments
effectively articulate thoughts and intentions in diverse business
environments
-cultural, economic, geopolitical, and systems
knowledge to solve complex business problems in a global
environment
4. responsibility in making sustainable business decisions
global environment that add value to an organization through
the integration, synthesis,
and application of business practices
Prompt
Throughout your MBA coursework, you have been developing a
business concept you think would be a valuable contribution in
the current market context. You
have created an initial business plan with relevant addenda and
considered the financial, regulatory, and other elements that
affect your concept. For your
capstone project, you will take the next step to consider how
you will implement your business plan and present your ideas to
potential financial supporters or
company executives. The capstone consists of two components:
a business implementation plan and an audiovisual presentation
of your business concept
(including implementation).
Capstone Component 1: Business Implementation Plan
In the first component of your capstone, you will create a
business implementation plan detailing your concept and how it
will be carried out for potential
investors and other concerned stakeholders (management, cross-
functional team members, and others). Throughout, you should
build on your previous
coursework, including your business plan and relevant addenda,
making any necessary adjustments and being sure to tie the
different elements together in
presenting a comprehensive business implementation plan.
5. Keep in mind that although different actors will be looking for
different things and will read your plan with varying levels of
detail, all stakeholders will want to
know that you have thoroughly researched your idea and have
carefully considered all relevant aspects for its successful
implementation before deciding to
support it. Consequently, your plan should be well-grounded in
evidence and data.
Your business implementation plan must include the following
sections:
I. Executive Summary. Provide a brief overview of your concept
and its key features, including cost, time frame, and anticipated
benefits.
II. Justification. Lay out the rationale for the concept, including
the problem or opportunity it addresses, the market for the
product or service, and the key
features that set it apart from the competition. You should also
discuss how the concept fits with the mission, vision, and
priorities of the company
implementing it and how or why it is innovative.
III. Implementation Plan. Propose a clear and comprehensive
plan for implementing and managing the concept from inception
to completion. Although the
details of your plan will necessarily depend upon your concept,
6. at a minimum your plan should consider:
including where these will come from and how they will be used
to reduce cost or
improve operations. Be sure to discuss why one resource option
is better than another where appropriate.
be done, by when, and by whom. The schedule should identify
the critical path to
success and outline the dependencies between tasks.
and indicators of success to ensure
that the project stays on target
factors in to the implementation of your plan and how you will
protect intangible
assets, such as intellectual property or brand
IV. Company and Key Personnel. Explain why your
organization is well positioned to carry out the project,
including how the concept fits with your
organization’s core competencies and the type of corporate
culture that will offer the best possibility for successful
implementation. In addition, define
the key roles, responsibilities, and qualifications of the cross-
functional team that will be responsible for implementing the
project. Although you may
not always be able to provide the names of the specific
individuals who will occupy those roles, you should explain the
specific skills and experience
required for each and the contributions each member will make,
7. including what your own role will be in the process and
contingency plans should the
team composition you propose need to be modified.
V. Financial Analysis and Funding. Analyze the projected costs,
revenue streams, and net present value for the concept from
launch until two years after
the breakeven point. Be sure to include a budget, an assessment
of assets and liabilities, your anticipated sources of funding,
and the associated costs of
attaining that capital as part of your analysis. Support your
analysis with relevant primary and secondary data in an
appendix, specifying any relevant
assumptions and limitations. You should include, among other
support, sales forecasts, cash flow statements, income
projections, and any other
relevant calculations or financial reports.
VI. Assumptions and Contingency Planning. Clearly explain the
assumptions you have made in creating your business
implementation plan, any factors that
may affect those assumptions or the success of the project, and
how you have planned for those contingencies. At a minimum,
you should discuss any
cross-cultural, economic, and geopolitical factors that may
impact the business environment and concept; how you will
ensure that the project operates
in a legally and ethically compliant environment, including
relevant laws, regulations, or patents or permits that may need
to be obtained; plans for
incorporating stakeholder and customer diversity into planning
and implementation of the concept; and the role corporate social
8. responsibility will play
in the implementation of your concept.
Capstone Component 2: Audiovisual Presentation
For the second and final component of your capstone, you will
create an audiovisual presentation (such as a webcam
presentation or PowerPoint with audio)
designed to pitch your concept to potential financial backers or
senior executives. Your presentation should highlight the key
elements of your business concept
and implementation plan that are most likely to convince your
audience to support the idea moving forward. Remember that
while your audience wants to know
you have thoroughly researched and planned out your idea,
including implementation, they do not want a verbatim or
lengthy repetition of the information in
the business implementation plan when you pitch the idea.
Instead, you should strategically select the information you will
present and in how much detail
based on your intended audience. You should bear in mind the
key information they will want to know and the types of
concerns they are likely to have, and
anticipate the types of questions they are likely to ask.
Also bear in mind that financial or managerial support for a
project often has as much to do with the individuals leading the
project as with the concept. Backers
need to be convinced of project leaders’ and key staff’s ability
to be the face and drivers of the idea, as well as of their honesty
and integrity. Since you are
presumably one of the key team members, how you present is
9. just as important as what you present in building audience trust.
Be sure to communicate clearly
and professionally throughout.
Milestones
Milestone One: Justification
In Module One, you will submit the justification for your idea
or concept. Lay out the rationale for the concept, including the
problem or opportunity it
addresses, the market for the product or service, and the key
features that set it apart from the competition. You should also
discuss how the concept fits with
the mission, vision, and priorities of the company implementing
it and how or why it is innovative. This milestone is graded
with the Milestone One Rubric.
Milestone Two: Implementation Plan
In Module Two, you will submit an implementation plan, which
is a clear and comprehensive plan for implementing and
managing the concept from inception to
completion. Although the details of your plan will necessarily
depend upon your concept, at a minimum your plan should
consider:
• Physical and technological resources needed for the concept,
including where these will come from and how they will be used
to reduce cost or improve
operations. Be sure to discuss why one resource option is better
than another where appropriate.
• A detailed implementation schedule covering what needs to be
done, by when, and by whom. The schedule should identify the
critical path to success
and outline the dependencies between tasks.
10. • Project review processes and indicators of success to ensure
that the project stays on target.
• An explanation of how intrapreneurship or entrepreneurship
factor in to the implementation of your plan and how you will
protect intangible assets,
such as intellectual property or brand.
This milestone is graded with the Milestone Two Rubric.
Milestone Three: Company and Key Personnel
In Module Three, you will submit the company and key
personnel, which includes your explanation of why your
organization is well positioned to carry out the
project, including how the concept fits with your organization’s
core competencies and the type of corporate culture that will
offer the best possibility for
successful implementation. In addition, define the key roles,
responsibilities, and qualifications of the cross-functional team
that will be responsible for
implementing the project. Although you may not always be able
to provide the names of the specific individuals who will
occupy those roles, you should explain
the specific skills and experience required for each and the
contributions each member will make, including what your own
role will be in the process and
contingency plans should the team composition you propose
need to be modified. This milestone is graded with the
Milestone Three Rubric.
Milestone Four: Financial Analysis and Funding
11. In Module Four, you will submit a financial analysis and
funding plan, which includes your analysis of the projected
costs, revenue streams, and net present
value for the concept from launch until two years after the
breakeven point. Be sure to include a budget, an assessment of
assets and liabilities, your anticipated
sources of funding, and the associated costs of attaining that
capital as part of your analysis. Support your analysis with
relevant primary and secondary data in
an appendix, specifying any relevant assumptions and
limitations. You should include, among other support, sales
forecasts, cash flow statements, income
projections, and any other relevant calculations or financial
reports. This milestone is graded with the Milestone Four
Rubric.
Milestone Five: Assumptions and Contingency Planning
In Module Five, you will submit assumptions and contingency
planning, which includes your explanation of assumptions you
have made in creating your
business implementation plan, any factors that may affect those
assumptions or the success of the project, and how you have
planned for those contingencies.
At a minimum, you should discuss any cross-cultural, economic,
and geopolitical factors that may impact the business
environment and concept; how you will
ensure that the project operates in a legally and ethically
compliant environment, including relevant laws, regulations, or
patents or permits that may need to be
obtained; plans for incorporating stakeholder and customer
diversity into planning and implementation of the concept; and
the role corporate social
responsibility will play in the implementation of your concept.
This milestone is graded with the Milestone Five Rubric.
Milestone Six: Audiovisual Presentation
12. In Module Six, you will submit an audiovisual presentation
(such as a webcam presentation or PowerPoint with audio)
designed to pitch your concept to
potential financial backers or senior executives. Your
presentation should highlight the key elements of your business
concept and implementation plan that are
most likely to convince your audience to support the idea
moving forward. Remember that while your audience wants to
know you have thoroughly researched
and planned out your idea, including implementation, they do
not want a verbatim or lengthy repetition of the information in
the business implementation plan
when you pitch the idea. Instead, you should strategically select
the information you will present and in how much detail based
on your intended audience. You
should bear in mind the key information they will want to know
and the types of concerns they are likely to have, and anticipate
the types of questions they are
likely to ask.
Note: If you plan to use a presentation software other than
PowerPoint, please check in with your instructor to make sure
your instructor can access the software
you plan to use.
This milestone is graded with the Milestone Six Rubric.
Final Submission: Business Implementation Plan and
Audiovisual Presentation
In Module Nine, you will submit the complete project including
Capstone Component 1: Business Implementation Plan and
Capstone Component 2:
Audiovisual Presentation. These should be complete, polished
artifacts containing all of the critical elements of the final
product. They should reflect the
incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. The
13. final submission will be graded using the Final Project Rubric.

14. Guidelines for Submission: Your business implementation plan
should be approximately 25 pages long (not including
appendices, references, etc.), using 12-
point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins. You
should use appropriate section headers to divide the text and
cite references using the most recent
APA conventions. You may include summary pictures, charts,
graphs, or other explanatory diagrams as needed to successfully
explain the concept and
implementation, but should use appendices for detailed
supporting documentation.
Your audiovisual presentation should be approximately 30
minutes (or roughly the equivalent of 25 slides) with sufficient
audio to give the audience a clear, but
concise, understanding of concept and its eventual
implementation. Your instructor must approve the software you
plan to use for the presentation early in the
course to ensure that your instructor will be able to access the
content.
This rubric will be applied to both components as a whole, and
no component will be assessed on its own. The “Possible
Indicators of Success” are examples for
you and the instructor of the types of concepts to look for to
demonstrate proficiency. They are neither exhaustive nor
proscriptive and should be used as guides
for illustrating how your capstone embodies the outcome. All
outcomes are weighted equally.

Over the past assignments, you put effort into a reflection
activity that helped to identify the strengths and weaknesses in
both your business implementation plan and your audiovisual
presentation. Reflecting on your own work and, if necessary,
making appropriate changes is an important part of success. The
21. business implementation plan and the audiovisual presentation
are the foci of this class, and they are things on which you been
working since you have been an MBA student. Within this
context, you know all of the details and understand each aspect
of your concept or idea.
Because of this, it is quite possible that your familiarity with
your concept or idea might actually make it more difficult for
you to see important changes that should be made to ensure that
you obtain financial backing and also that your project is a
success. The reflection activities helped you look at your idea
or concept, the business implementation plan, and the
audiovisual presentation with a new perspective.
The activity in this module takes this new perspective and
encourages you to critically apply it to your business
implementation plan and audiovisual presentation. Your primary
objective with your idea or concept is to have a successful
project that achieves identified and quantifiable goals. In order
to do this, you must also achieve your secondary objective,
which is to obtain financial support for your project.
Now that you have a good understanding of the strengths and
weaknesses of your concept or idea, you can find ways to
minimize weaknesses and leverage strengths. The ideal
circumstance is to use the strengths to overcome the
weaknesses. Even if this is not possible, you should still do
everything possible to address the weaknesses.
