The Miss Angel Pitch: An Entrepreneurial Approach to Engaging Online Learners

According to research on entrepreneurship education, the creation of a business plan is the most popular teaching method (Solomon, 2007). Textbooks in the field will often have a chapter devoted to the contents of the business plan and separate chapters about important elements of a business plan such as marketing, finance, and operations. Instructors must prepare their students for the arduous task of writing all of the parts of the business plan within a team.
