Entrepreneur Essay
For the second assignment, students are to choose one of the entrepreneurs listed below and examine
their business career as well as the reasons for their success or failure in Canadian business history. The
purpose of the assignment is to give a brief overview of the business life of the person followed by an
analysis of why the person was able to succeed (or not) in establishing and/or managing their business
in Canada.
Thus, the assignment has two parts: 1) Begin by identifying the person and give a brief
biographical overview of their business career. This part should be approximately one paragraph and
should constitute a small part of the overall assignment; 2) The majority of the paper should be devoted
to examining the question of how or why this person succeeded (or not) in establishing/managing a
business in Canada, despite the significant obstacles to entrepreneurship? There may be many factors to
explain the success of an individual; in this case, focus on the most important reason, in your opinion,
for the individual’s success. This is an analytical assignment and, thus, it must be devoted to answering
the above question, with a thesis and an argument.
The assignment must be 5 pages in length, double-spaced with a standard character size and
font. Students are not to exceed the 5 page length. As with assignment one, good grammar and style
are important to an effective presentation of your ideas and argument.
Students are required to use a minimum of three sources which must be from a reputable
academic or journalistic source. To help you locate these you can use the library guide for this course:
http://subjectguides.uwaterloo.ca/hist113. Or you can search for articles from academic journals and
from Canadian periodicals (such as magazines) databases available [via the Library’s home page search
box]. Some examples include the Canadian Periodical Index, Scholar’s Portal, America: History and Life.
An excellent source to begin with is the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, an on-line collection of
biographical articles on Canadians (written and refereed by Scholars). The DCB covers all the people
listed below who died before 1930, and thus, will not include biographies on more contemporary
business people. Another good scholarly source from which to begin is the Canadian Encyclopedia, also
available on-line. Reputable magazines, such as Canadian Business, can be used, as well as
encyclopedias. While you can use Wikipedia, it does not count as one of the three sources, given that it
does not have “quality control”. Note that proper citations must be included in your assignment.
To complete the assignment, choose one of the following:
John Hendry 1843-1916
William Christopher Macdonald 1831-1917
Samuel Cunard 1787-1865
George Simpson 1786-1860
W. Galen Weston 1940-
Heather Reisman 1948-
