MGT2014 Entrepreneurship Assessment Brief 2025-26 | UoG

MGT2014 QuestionDescription of Activity

This is an Individual, Written assignment (Slide Deck). 

MGT2014 Question  

Prepare a presentation on PowerPoint with accompanying notes under each slide addressing each of the points below. This should demonstrate your understanding of the course and your ability to communicate that understanding effectively and concisely.  Use the notes under each slide to explain the content of individual slides.

There should be 5 slides altogether (one slide per point as below), plus the front and the back slides. See more information below.   

Bullet points (and visuals) on slides don’t count towards the words, while each commentary in the notes section should contain a maximum of 400 words. Your whole slide deck will therefore have up to 2000 words in the notes section (5 x 400 words = 2000). 

You do not have to create a business to be able to meet the requirements of this assignment. Your goal is rather to show that you understood the concepts we have discussed in class.  

Further Instructions   

Imagine you have a start-up. Prepare a pitch deck to apply for the Techscaler Programme (funded and implemented by the Scottish Government), following the guidance below:   

• Slide 1: Present your entrepreneurial aspirations, motives and intentions. Why did you become an entrepreneur? (hint: Weeks 1, 4 & 10) – 400 words in notes 
• Slide 2: How did you start your business? (hint: Week 2) – 400 words in notes 
• Slide 3: What business model do you follow? (hint: Week 3) – 400 words in notes 
• Slide 4: How  and  what  for do  you  plan  to  utilise  Scottish  Government  /  Glasgow Council support in the next 12 months – be specific about any funding, tax allowances, incentives, other support you could use (hint: Week 5) – 400 words in notes
• Slide 5: Why would you like to join Techscaler, and how can you contribute to its community? (hint: Weeks 6, 7, 10) – 400 words in notes  

Additional notes   

1. You don’t have to use in-text citations on your slides and in your slide notes; however, you  must  showcase  through  your  writing  and  your  reference  list  that  you  used appropriate literature to prepare the assignment 

2. You do not have  to  build  (or  present)  your  venture  (or  build/plan  one)  for  this assignment,  but  rather  focus  on  your  skills,  experience and expertise  as  an entrepreneur, showcasing your engagement and understanding of the course

3. You are allowed to write in the first person when applicable  

4. This is a very practical, hands-on exercise, which requires you to go above and beyond what  you  have  learned  in  the  course  (e.g.,  by  getting  familiar  with  Techscaler, the support the government/council can offer your venture, etc.) 

5. Your slides must not include sentences and crowds of text – you are encouraged to use bullet points, flowcharts and other visuals for that  
6. Your  notes,  as  they  count  towards the word  limit,  should  be  used  as  a  basis  to communicate  what  you  are  asked  in  this  assignment  , and  they  should  refer  to  the designated slides  

7. The Front and the Back page do not count towards the word limit   

Slides and commentary will ideally be uploaded to Moodle in PDF format. Please find a video on how to create a PDF from PPT, including notes, here. However, also PPT format will also be considered.  

You are not expected to create a business, nor do you need to present the slides. The slides should, however,  be in a presentable format
