Discussion 4
Your initial post is due by midnight Wednesday if you want to receive full timeliness points. Otherwise, it is due by midnight Sunday of Week 1. Any initial posts completed after midnight Sunday of week 1 will not receive any timeliness points. As always, include a reference to support your own initial response, but keep in mind that a URL (a website address) is not a reference, so do not insert just a URL.
· In the first paragraph of your initial response, evaluate the contribution of HRM strategic management in this Business Plan assignment. How is the HRM department involved in the creation of building a strategy for a new business venture?
· Now that you have completed a Business Plan, Marketing Plan, and Project Management Plan, do some research for great business or marketing plans and compare your plan with at least one other.
· Is there anything in the plan you found that you wish you had thought to put in your plans?
· What was it about the plan that caused you to have either a positive or negative reaction to it?
· Is it something you would have invested in?
Your Subsequent Posts:

Remember: To receive full credit in this discussion forum, you need to post a minimum of three quality posts (your own initial post, and responses to two classmates). If you borrow ideas from subject matter experts (authors, speakers, etc.), be sure to give them credit by citing sources.
