Select a company and interview the owner/manager regarding their pricing strategies
and methods. Report on your findings. Ideally, this will be your current company, but
you may need to be resourceful and find a business owner or manager from another
company who is willing to visit with you. Your goal is to discover the following: 
 What is the company’s pricing objective? For this question, it would be helpful to
show the interviewee a list of the pricing objectives on page 489 with very brief
descriiptions (Suggestion: you can either highlight the first 1-3 sentences under
each objective and then show the interviewee the highlighted descriiptions in
your text OR simply retype them on another sheet of paper for use in the
interview). 
 Do they have some target segments that are less price sensitive than others? 
 How much consideration does the company give to competitors’ prices when
setting their own? 
 What method of pricing do they use to arrive at the final prices? Then, after the
interview, try to determine which of the textbook& methods the company uses.

An integral part of the business plan is to develop a business model. Simply put, a business model describes how a company plans to make money. It is not what you do, but how you will make money doing what you do. A solid business model is the link between venture strategy and financial plans. Projecting the financial performance and requirements can be classified as financial goals of the venture. A venture capitalist will want to know not only the numbers, but how those were derived. 
For this professional assignment, you will develop both a business model and financial goals for your new venture. Using chapters 5 and 9 of your textbook for reference, develop and submit the following:
Define the business model of your venture company, explaining why it is you have selected this business model as the ideal model for your venture.
Create a five-year revenue projection and illustrate how you have come up with the projected numbers.
Develop a five-year pro forma P&L statement and justify your assumptions within the statement.
Devise a five-year pro forma cash flow statement and justify your assumptions within the statement.
Design a five-year pro forma balance sheet and specify how the balance sheet relates to the other two financial statements in parts (2) and (3).

PROJECT SCOPE:
This project will examine your ability to understand the implications of our take-make-waste
society’s habits and how we can move forward to an improved circular economy approach.
Using our class discussions and projects as frameworks, you will be journaling what you have
learned, what you can change about your own practices, what brands could do differently, and
any other insights via text entries, images, and video entries. You will be graded on the quality
of your insights, how visually appealing/creative your journal site is, further research and
sources that you find on the course topics, and how they relate to fashion and / or beauty
brands. Each entry is worth up to 25 points (see grading rubric on next page).
