You final project will consist of you selecting a person, production, process, or company from history and explain its entrepreneurial history. How did it arise, what were the key decisions that brought it into the market, who made those decisions, what impact did it have, what challenges had to be overcome. Keep in mind you do not have to choose a “success story.” Sometimes failure are even more revealing!
The paper should be about 10-12 pages and include notes and references to your sources of information. I would expect to see about six different sources in an average paper, though better papers may well have more.
Try not to define your paper topic too broadly. Focus is always better and easier. So “the automobile” is too broad.” But the electric vehicle may not be. Railroads could work, as could steamships. But if you are picking something this big you will want to look at a shorter time period, such as the initial innovation. And as we will discuss not every innovation is a technology or product. Sometimes they are social or cultural breakthroughs–hip hop music in America, or women entering the financial industry for example.
This must be your own work and you must show how you did it, meaning provide references to your sources of information. This is not the paper to be experimenting with ChatGPT on. Remember, ChatGPT also provides a way to check papers to see if they were AI generated. Just saying….
