You are required to write an essay based on the following:

• In answering this question, make sure you describe and compare three
business model conceptualisations from the extant literature.
• Of the three conceptualisations, identify your preferred conceptualisation and
explain why you prefer it.
• To ground your argument, apply your preferred conceptualisation to an
example from real-life, that is, describe the exploitation of an innovation
introduced in the last five years by a business using your preferred business
model approach.
You should include 18 references.

2. VIDEO
PRESENTATION
WITH
TRANSCRIPT:
BUSINESS
MODELS
• The video is based on your essay’s finding, that is, what you argued in the first
assessment piece.
• You must explain the essay’s main arguments via a short video presentation.
• The video presentation should be a minimum of 3 minutes in duration and no
longer than 10 minutes.
• The video submission should be accompanied by a (Word document)
transcript of what was said in the video.
There
is

or
8-­-minute
presentation
and
the
presentation
slides.

Task Description
• You are required to produce a short video that summarises the key arguments
of your essay.
• However, your video should not just be a verbatim repeat of what was said in
your essay. It should be uniquely descriptive and explanative, and focus on
explaining why you believe your preferred business model approach is
superior or more useful in real-life than the other two you discussed in your
essay.
• You should pay special attention to explaining the innovation example from
real-life and how it can be understood using your preferred business model
approach.
• You should make sure your transcript makes sense without the accompanying
video.

Business Law Critical Thinking – Violations

Order Description

see page 636 – Problem 21-8 Business Law Critical Thinking ( I will upload the textbook page)

Please answer the three questions as an individual even though it mentions “groups”

– Format guidelines to write the paper:

Remember:

Merely copying paragraphs out of the textbook or from the actual case will earn little credit.
In Chapter 1, the point is made that there is often more than one answer to a legal question. Research the questions, watch the videos provided, complete the legal concepts and write about them in a college-level essay format.
Use the APA-style for the paper. Look this up if you don’t know what the style is.

Specific Requirements :
Papers should be a minimum of 750 words (approx. 3 pages) to a maximum of 1,000 words. Use the word count feature in Microsoft Word.
Remember: 750 words is a “minimum effort” and will earn less points that other submission of great depth
Do not use Wikipedia for legal references. Points will be deducted if you do. Use legal texts, journals, resources, our textbook, etc.
References may be footnoted – at the bottom of the page using numbers. Otherwise, just include a Bibliography of references as a separate page. Do not list just webpage addresses. The title of what is being referenced must be shown.
Strong readability (this means correct spelling, grammar, capitalization, written in a research style not as a conversation, etc.)
Please note: Personal, opinion-based discussions and those that read like a conversation with a peer (using “I”, “you” and “we”) are not acceptable. Write using the third person – like the text book.

The more research, writing, and analysis provided by the student increases the possibility for earning more points.
