Assignment 1: Exploratory Research and Write Up (Individual Assignment)
Weighting: 20%
Task: Exploratory essay tasks ask questions and gather information that may answer initial questions you pose in relation to the given topic. The main point of the exploratory or inquiry essay is not to find definite answers. Rather, the point is to conduct inquiry into the topic, gather information, and share that information with the reader/s.
Conduct your exploratory research to provide some context and background for the country you are about to visit, based on the topic of The Entrepreneurial ecosystem in South Africa from the perspective of Opportunity Entrepreneurs and Necessity Entrepreneurs.
This is a broad topic so you may wish to narrow and define an aspect that you find of particular interest, or illustrate a key constraint and conceive recommendations to address or diminish that constraint. These are two examples of how to address the assignment.  This is a discovery assignment, so please research further and/or wider than the suggestions provided above.

Assignment 2: Business Modelling of Potential Opportunity (Group Assignment)
Weighting: 30%
Task: There are 2 components to this assignment.   
a)  The first component is to develop a Business Model Canvas (BMC) during workshop/lecture time. The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a strategic entrepreneurial and management tool that enables you to describe, design, challenge, invent and pivot your conception of a business model. You will build an appropriate business model for a concept/idea your team decides upon by the end of the first two days of the Study Tour. You will then write up a Concept Statement for the idea on which you have based your BMC. A template is provided for the Concept Statement. The written concept statement details the "story" of your completed BMC.

b)  The second component of the assignment is a 15 minute oral presentation (including Q&A) to the panel and your peers. These presentations will enable you to derive valuable feedback to incorporate into the write up of the following group assignment Feasibility Study (Assignment 3).

Assignment 3: Feasibility Study (Group Assignment)
Weighting: 30%
Task: Produce a Feasibility Study that is developed from the Business Model Canvas (BMC) project or business opportunity you have modelled during the Study Tour. A template is available for the Feasibility Study.

Weighting: 20%
