Significant Entrepreneur Presentation

Every student will do a 10-minute presentation about a historically significant entrepreneur. The presentation should be an overview of the person’s business history that focuses on the business model of their enterprise or their general business strategies, any key innovations the person pioneered, and what happened to the business they founded. Students can use slides or notes on white board in the presentation. Students can also share additional information on Blackboard or distribute handouts to the class.
