Make a Business Model: Explain the context of your organization and provide a convincing case that your model is suitable and plausible, even if it is not highly profitable. Outline the various alternatives considered for the business model and discuss your criteria and method of evaluation. Describe the key elements of the business model, including its main products/services, core competencies, key propositions, brand identity, etc. Present a case for why the model is effective and integrated to address the above ethical issues, implications, and responsibilities. o Because of the focus of the course on ethics and values, consider developing mission, vision, or values statements. o Use of tools such as Business Model Canvas should not be done mechanically. An overload of disconnected ideas is not a substitute for a coherent and integrated model. (detailed answer)
