Week 2 AS: Recognize Opportunity [(Required/Graded: 100 Points) CO 1, CO 2]

 This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin® 

Assignment Overview: For this assignment, you'll narrow the opportunity field down by identifying an industry that interests you. This will help to not be looking at the "entire world" for an opportunity but rather look at a specific area. This enables you to be focused and targeted.

Assignment Directions: Using the materials from the readings for this week and other sources, identify an area of interest. Next, within that area, list at least five different areas of opportunity. Last, describe why each of those areas have an opportunity. Remember, you are only identifying opportunities, not producing ideas.

Please NOTE: The opportunities are NOT about you. The opportunities are about the industry of interest.

Minimum 2 pages.

Due Day 7, Sunday, 11:55 pm ET.
