What Is GST302 Entrepreneurship Studies?

GST302 — Entrepreneurship Studies — is a compulsory General Studies course that every NOUN student must complete, regardless of their faculty or programme. It is typically taken at the 300 level and is one of the most practically oriented courses in the NOUN curriculum.

The course is designed to equip students with entrepreneurial skills and business thinking, preparing them to identify opportunities, manage resources, and create economic value. The main assessment in GST302 requires students to develop a business plan for a chosen business idea — usually presented as a structured document and sometimes as a PowerPoint presentation.

A strong GST302 business plan directly impacts your 30% continuous assessment score for the course, making it an important academic deliverable.

What a Good NOUN GST302 Business Plan Contains

A typical GST302 business plan should cover the following sections:

1.

Executive Summary

A concise overview of the entire business plan — written last but placed first. Summarise the business idea, target market, key financial projections, and funding needs in 1–2 pages.

2.

Business Description

Describe the nature of the business, its legal structure (sole trader, partnership, limited company), and the problem it solves. Include the vision and mission statement.

3.

Market Analysis

Research your target market: who are your potential customers, how large is the market, and who are your competitors? Include demographic and psychographic analysis where possible.

4.

Products and Services

Describe what you are selling or offering. Include pricing strategy, key features, and what differentiates your product/service from existing alternatives.

5.

Marketing and Sales Strategy

Explain how you will attract and retain customers. Cover advertising channels, promotions, pricing, and distribution methods appropriate for a Nigerian market.

6.

Operations Plan

Describe the day-to-day operations: location, suppliers, production process, staffing, and logistics.

7.

Financial Projections

Include a startup cost estimate, projected monthly income and expenses for Year 1, and a simple break-even analysis. Tables and charts here earn extra marks.

Common GST302 Business Plan Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️ Copying Verbatim From the Internet

Plagiarism is penalised heavily. Even if you use online sources for research, write the content in your own words and adapt it to your specific business idea.

⚠️ Choosing a Vague Business Idea

Broad ideas like 'technology company' or 'fashion brand' make poor plans. Pick something specific: 'mobile phone repair shop in Abuja' or 'cassava flour production for local bakeries'.

⚠️ Skipping the Financial Section

Many students omit or oversimplify the financials. Even rough projections with clear assumptions earn marks. Include at least a startup cost table and a monthly revenue estimate.

⚠️ Ignoring Formatting Requirements

Use proper headings, numbered sections, 12pt font, and double spacing (or as specified by your course facilitator). A well-formatted document signals professionalism.
