Coffee Anyone? - Part 2: Additional Business Opportunity Statements For Unstructured Capital Budgeting Projects

Abstract

This paper builds on an earlier paper that presented an unstructured, semester-long team-based capital budgeting project for senior level undergraduate accounting students. Successfully completing this project required accounting students to step outside of their narrow accounting transactions framework and to apply extensive organizational, analytical, information gathering, and critical thinking skills. This extension paper provides two additional Business Opportunity Statements that can be assigned to student groups for semester projects. Utilizing these additional Statements will allow faculty to challenge consecutive semesters of students.
