1 - A211 Project 2 E-Service Learning
Project 2 is a group project. The due date for submission of this project 2 is 13 DECEMBER 2021.
The assessment will use two rubrics, the M&E - Managerial and Entrepreneurship Rubric
(10%) and the ISR- Interpersonal Skills Rubrics (10%). M&E is used to evaluate the submitted
report, while the team members use ISR to do peer review. It is advisable for the students to review
the rubric first before preparing and embarking on the report.
Students are required to have the following sections in their written report:
A. Introduction
Describe the report's purpose and briefly explain the importance of planning (budgeting)
knowledge to a business. Briefly state some of the important findings of your case. Finally,
describe how the remaining sections of the report are organized.
B. Case Background
Describe some of the case characteristics and the extent of its competitive or social nature
(importance of the business to the owner). You should collect the relevant data during your
communication with the owner and other related parties. What are some of the important 'rules of
the game' for a successful business of that nature?
This section discusses the periodic reflections that you made (e.g., weekly or fortnightly). You need
to organize into common issues and discuss the solution based on the relevant budgeting and
planning concept.
We would expect some differences exist between the practices and what you know from the
textbook. For example, do small business owners plan for a year? If so, how do they plan on, daily
basis? – what is the frequency? What important information do they give attention to?
Information is the basis of accounting. Does the business owner record? What types of
information and the frequency recorded? How does the business owner record – describe the
mechanism in place.
Next could be to examine the proper collection of the recorded/documented information and
process. Describe how the business owner uses the information to manage the business and to
evaluate the performance. For example, a business owner may use certain information to plan the
buying and selling activities.
Link the findings from section C with the relevant knowledge you gained from the project (the
experiences). You need to come up with some suggestions to improve the identified weaknesses
discussed in section C above.
The suggestions must be practical considering the technical knowledge of the owner and the
capability of the business (i.e., the nature and needs). These will be communicated to the owner as
a part of completing the service-learning project loop.
E. Conclusion
Summarize the report in a couple of sentences. Tie back all the arguments (especially from sections
C and D) in a nicely written conclusion.
F. Appendices
