Ciavarella, assistant professor of business administration/management, along with Carolyn Shirk of EconomicsPennsylvania and Tim Keohane, of the Small Business Development Center at Lock Haven University, taught the students how to take their business ideas from a concept to a plan, coaching them in the basic elements of a viable business plan.
