Concept mapping is something I would use to write a
business plan for my country bar. There
are many aspects to owning my own business like budgeting, marketing, location,
entertainment, food, building maintenance
and hours of operation. Business plans
have many forms, but they all have these basic sections.
In the Brainstorming phase I will be writing down
everything that has to do with owning a bar.
Second phase is organizing. Hal
White on the “How to construct a concept map” website suggests putting each thought
on a Post-It note. I can move these
thoughts around until each concept is within its group. In the layout phase I am going to put the
most important concept at the top or in the middle, and put the detail underneath
the heading or on the outside. (White,
2011)
By using lines and arrows, I will connect different
items that have a relationship. I can
also write a short explanation on the arrow line.
When I feel that I have covered all the information,
I will complete the map and give it a title.
