Homework-2
The business model of a company or a business organization is how it plans to make a profit or make money. The major business model of Microsoft, for example, is to sell software and software-related services. Similarly, Amazon's business model is retailing, which includes selling third-party products (and its own products) and selling cloud services to individuals and businesses. Netflix's business model is subscription-based where users pay a monthly fee. For this homework assignment, I want you to identify the main business model of a business organization (if a business is making money through different. sources, then consider the main source of revenue). For example, although Amazon is a well-known retailer and most of us may have a perception that its main source of revenue is selling through its website, AWS (or Amazon Web Services) is its main source of revenue (and not retailing). After identifying the business model or how a business makes money, you need to…

People who own cabins near the lake or come to visit the local state park enjoy browsing through the town’s stores, where they pick up pottery, paintings, and Wish You Wood’s beautifully crafted wooden toys. For these shoppers, Wish You Wood is more than a store; it is a destination they associate with family and fun. The store’s owners, Russell and Vanessa Harris, personally select the toys from craftspeople around the world. They enjoy their regular customers but believe selling mostly to vacationers has limited the company’s growth. They decided that the lowest-cost way to expand would be to sell toys online. However, after several years of trying, traffic to the store’s website was still unimpressive. They were able to drive some business to their site using social media, but the site never took off in the way they had hoped. Russell and Vanessa concluded that the…arrow_forward
- Steeley Associates versus Concord Falls Steeley Associates, Inc., a property development firm, purchased an old house near the town square in Concord Falls, where State University is located. The old house was built in the mid-1800s, and Steeley Associates restored it. For almost a decade, Steeley has leased it to the university for academic office space. The house is located on a wide lawn and has become a town landmark. However, in 2008, the lease with the university expired, and Steeley Associates decided to build high-density student apartments on the site, using all the open space. The community was outraged and objected to the town council. The legal counsel for the town spoke with a representative from Steeley and hinted that if Steeley requested a permit, the town would probably reject it. Steeley had reviewed the town building code and felt confident that its plan was within the guidelines, but that did not necessarily mean that it could win a lawsuit against the…arrow_forwardIn need of a more efficient method to do your business homework?
