 3.2: Identify New Business Model (Individual Project — Part 6)

Overview

Procedure

1. Reflect on how the technology you identified in Module 2 and the SWOT analysis performed in the previous Assignment could affect the business model of your organization.
2. Complete the section “Business model proposition” in the project plan template document. Discuss how a new business model for your organization (or a change of the existing one) could be enabled through the use of the new technology. Post this section of your project to the course Forum.
   Note that in Module 7 you'll compile this and the other sections of the project plan into a single, coherent proposal. By then you'll have a more comprehensive understanding of how the work done in this Module fits into the bigger picture and can revise accordingly.
