The textbook provides the reader and the
instructor with two full-length sample business plans to complement
reading in Chapter 7. Both business
plans - EZ Guard and IMOS - were written by student teams at Stanford
University: one for a campus-wide business plan competition and
the other for a course on technology venture formation.
This section of the website aims to provide the instructor with
a synopsis of each plan and a set of accompanying questions to
facilitate discussions and stimulate critical thinking. Click
on each case below to view the supporting material.
