BUSI 338 Developing Entrepreneurial Opportunities Sample Papers, Week by Week

Liberty University · BS in Business Administration · Business and accounting · Updated

BUSI 338 picks up where an entrepreneurship course leaves off and asks how a small venture would actually be run: its legal and ethical footing, its marketing and channels, its purchasing and quality control, its financing, its people and its budget. The samples below follow one composite venture, a van-based bicycle repair service in Lynchburg, Virginia, from the summary report through three phase presentations to the final project report, with the four forums in between.

What BUSI 338 covers

The New Venture Project carries the course: a 550-word summary of the enterprise's concept, profit and loss outlook and marketing in Module/Week 1, then a 10-12 slide presentation in Modules/Weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8, each on one management factor, built on competitive analysis and market research, with two outside references (one peer-reviewed) and a biblical reference.

Forum threads answer the instructor's prompt in 350 to 400 words with at least one source, and two replies of 150 to 200 words amplify or critique classmates' work; the four exams are open-book with 30 questions and a 90-minute limit.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes BUSI 338 Developing Entrepreneurial Opportunities this way:
A course that expands on the principles of how to develop a business opportunity that brings value to the marketspace.

Where BUSI 338 papers lose points

BUSI 338 projects lose points when the slides restate textbook headings instead of applying them to the venture, when the market research is assumed rather than gathered, when the profit and loss figures change from one phase to the next without explanation, and when the biblical reference is decoration rather than a principle the venture follows.

Using a BUSI 338 sample well

The samples draw on research on business planning, online reviews and word of mouth, inventory turnover, service quality, the financing of new firms, human capital and turnover in small firms, cash management and the health benefits of cycling, with Byrd and Megginson's Small Business Management.

BUSI 338 questions, answered

Can I reuse my BUSI 336 business idea in BUSI 338?

Yes. The summary report lets students either summarize the enterprise they developed in BUSI 336 or write up a preliminary new idea, and the rest of the project builds on whichever they choose.

How long are the BUSI 338 New Venture Project presentations?

Each phase presentation runs 10 to 12 slides on one management factor, with two outside references, one of them from a journal or other peer-reviewed source, and at least one biblical reference.

How are the BUSI 338 exams set up?

Four open-book, open-notes exams fall in Modules/Weeks 3, 5, 7 and 8, each with 30 questions and a time limit of one hour and 30 minutes.
