BU 517 – Signature Assignment Instructions
Your signature assignment is the most important assessment tool for this course, so please spend enough time on it to
make it a representation of your skills and what you’ve learned in this course. The signature assignment will be
submitted in three parts:
Part 1: You will submit a Word document that contains a cover page, a table of contents, and a reference page that
includes most of the sources you will use for writing this paper. Hint – you will need to do research based on the
instructions and that is how you will know what sources to use and what your table of contents will contain. Part 1 is
due in Week 8 on Sunday.
Part 2: You will submit a Word document that presents all your answers/analysis/recommendations for the topic of this
assignment. See detailed instructions below. This assignment is due in Week 9 on Sunday.
Part 3: You will submit a PowerPoint Presentation of your signature assignment. You will record the presentation within
PowerPoint. It is your responsibility to make sure the recording works on any device. The instructor will not adjust your
presentation if you did not check for compatibility, especially if you are using an Apple device and do not have MS Office
installed (paid version for Apple). The presentation is due on Sunday in Week 10.
Assignment:
1. Choose a business you would like to form.
2. What is the business and in what industry?
3. What legal structure of business will you choose and why?
4. Research your industry and provide an industry analysis which should discuss relevant trends.
5. Describe 2-3 potential legal issues that you believe the industry will face within the next 20 years. Please describe the
issues, what law will apply, and how the court will find on each legal issue. (Minimum of 2 paragraphs for each legal
issue).
6. For each legal issue, describe how your business will either prevent this legal issue before it happens or react to these
legal issue as they arise in the future.
The total word count for this assignment is a minimum of 2,000 words, which roughly translates into 6 pages. The page
count does not include the cover page, the table of contents, or the reference page.
Please follow APA guidelines!
Instructions for Presentation:
The final part of the signature assignment is a PowerPoint presentation. Here are the requirements for a good
presentation:
• Cover slide with your name and the course name (you can include SSU and the date)
• Overview slide of what you will present with a short recorded narrative
• Do not use sentences on your slides; use keywords only!
• Use images (Pixbay.com has a large amount of images that are free and not copyright protected)
• Your recording must match what’s on the slide – if you use an Apple device, make sure your presentation/recording is
compatible and can be accessed. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! If the instructor cannot listen to your presentation, you
will receive a failing grade for this part of the signature assignment.
• Your last slide should be a reference slide showing the sources you used. You can copy/paste it from your written
assignment.
