1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
We have pleasure in welcoming you to this module in Entrepreneurship and Small Business
Management and trust that you will find it a rewarding and interesting area of study. We will do
our best to make your study of this module successful. You will be well on your way to success
if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do the assignments properly.
You will receive a number of tutorial letters during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of
communicating with you about teaching, learning and assessment.
This tutorial letter contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and
assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when
working through the study material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the examination
and addressing questions to your lecturers.
Please read Tutorial Letter 301 (MNALLEQ/301/4/2015) in combination with Tutorial Letter 101
as it gives you an idea of generally important information when studying at a distance and within
a particular college.
In Tutorial Letter 101, you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as
instructions on the preparation and submission of the assignments. This tutorial letter also
provides all the information you need with regard to the prescribed study material and other
resources and how to obtain it. Please study this information carefully and make sure that you
obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible.
A section on general and administrative information about this module has been included in this
tutorial letter. Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you
receive during the semester immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and,
sometimes, urgent information.
Some of this tutorial matter may not be available when you register. Tutorial matter that is not
available when you register will be posted to you as soon as possible, but is also available
electronically on myUnisa.
We hope that you will enjoy this module and wish you all the best!
