Course Objectives:
· Examine the key elements necessary for developing business
models.
· Synthesize management, marketing, and financial issues.
Prompt:
You have learned about opportunity recognition. It is equally
important for the entrepreneur to also understand the
implementation aspect and how to execute their idea. Once you
understand your business model, it is time to think about how
you will enter the marketplace and grow your firm. During
entry, you must prove that your business model is viable and
profitable. For example, you may ask the question, "Are our
customers buying our product(s) at the prices we need to be
profitable?
As you learn more about your customer and business, you’ll
modify your original vision. Entry into the marketplace

7. provides a platform to identify new opportunities and to reshape
your business so that it is best positioned to grow and thrive.
Thus, it’s wise to think about your growth strategy from the
very beginning. Today that growth is more likely than ever to
mean you’ll consider international expansion.
Address the following questions:
1. Describe your business model. What are your primary sources
of revenue? What are your primary revenue drivers?
2. What is your overall strategy? Why does this strategy help
you sell to customers? What tactics can you employ to increase
your revenues?
3. What is your market entry strategy? How does this create a
platform for your business to grow? Are there any barriers to
entry? If so, what might they be and how will you overcome
them?
4. What is your growth strategy? How big do you want your
firm to become? How long might it take for it to get there? Do
you have an exit strategy? If so, what is it and why?
Instructions:
1. Create a PowerPoint containing 12 slides to discuss your
findings in response to the topics above. Be sure to include
speaker's notes OR create a video of yourself giving the
presentation. You can do this using Kaltura tool and your laptop
or mobile device (on the toolbar between the movie clip and the
insert table icons).
2. In your presentation, make certain that you include at least
two credible outside references from search engines or scholarly
sources from the APUS Online Library.
