i'm sure we could help ya but we need some more details about the assignment. but just basic stuff you're looking at is supply and demand, the obstacles and costs of entering the market, and how to be competitive with big firms when you start off as a small company.

I am in Economics right now and I just did a paper on a Ski/Snowboard Headwear business. If you are from Canada go to www.statscan.com and search the articles there for stats. Also, try to look up ABI on google. It can be really helpful also. Talk about the trend in new ski companies coming out and the demand for twintips over the last few years. Throw the world equilibrium in there and GDP and you will be fine.

Mine is more of a mix between marketing and economics. For my headwear business I did a Environmental Assessment that includes all statsm, competition and just the industry market and how we can find our niche (19 pages). I also just finished a Marketing Plan for the same business with strategies we would use and how we would differ from the competition and our financial plan (27 pages). Talk to me if you want either of them, I will help a fellow NS'er anyday.
