Business Proposal
The increase of technology over even the last few decades has been remarkable. Now almost everywhere you go, you see a person walking down the street either talking on their phone or listening to their MP3 players.

With the increase pace of life that many of us have in the world today an audio version of a textbook would allow for more multitasking and convenience which would give it a competitive advantage.
The target group that I have chosen is mainly going to be college students. College students are predominantly the ones who are purchasing and reading these textbooks.
