1. What benefits do entrepreneurs who compete in business plan competitions such as the one at Texas Christian
University gain?
2. Work with a team of your classmates to brainstorm ideas
for establishing a business plan competition on your cam-
pus. How would you locate judges? What criteria
would you use to judge the plans? What prizes would you
offer the winners, and how would you raise the money to
give those prizes? Who would you allow to compete in
your competition?
3. Using the ideas you generated in question 2, create a two-
page proposal for establishing a business plan competition
at your school.
