SMU hosts Kabara Institute business workshops

The Karaba Institute is presenting three business workshops to help students learn to prepare a successful business plan.

The next two presentations are scheduled for Mondays, Feb. 4 and Feb. 11, at 3:15 p.m. in Salvi Lecture Hall. On Feb. 4, Jeff Hefel will discuss “organization and management decisions” as well as “marketing and sales strategies.” On Feb. 11, Sharon O’Reilly will discuss “financial management and acquiring start-up funds.”

Jana Schrenkler started off the series Jan. 28 with a presentation about “defining your market and developing a vision and a mission.”

These workshops are independent and open to all majors and all levels of students. Undergraduate students can also enter the business plan in the annual Kabara Business Plan Competition that will be held in March.
