XU BSBA studes ready for feasibility study By MARK FRANCISCO Lifestyle Editor
AROUND 70 Business Administration students from Xavier University are almost ready to showcase their feasibility study products and service for the next three semesters. This, after the students were able to successfully complete Mrkmn 3 or Product Development. Divided into 55 groups, the students from five sections all under the tutelage of instructor Tracy June Dy proudly presented their proposed products and services at the SBM Lobby last Wednesday afternoon.
Of course, all these proposed products and services were preapproved by Dy. And boy what a lineup it would be next semester. There’s gonna be a homemade ice cream made of cucumber. There will also be an all-veggie burger.
And there will be choco cake with bits of squash in it. Ain’t that exciting? According to Dy, students were turned into instant chefs since they must propose unique and new products that could compete in the mainstream market. “Since they are taking
up this course because they’re aiming to become entrepreneurs, then we are really molding them into one. So I usually ditch proposals which are common enough. The students must be very innovative,” Dy said. It’s a tall order yet the students are quite
enjoying it based on the beaming faces during their Mrkmn 3 culmination. Yet it will be a long way to go. From Mrkmn 3, they will now enter the feasibility stage next semester. Each proposal will be thoroughly scrutinized before the
students will be given the go-ahead to implement their respective projects for the next two semesters after that. Then graduation beacons. By then, the BSBA students of Xavier University are ready to become full-fledged entrepeneurs.
