Covid 19 and Business Perspective Questions

/in /by

Question Description

 
Every now and then, even the most successful business model will be challenged by previously unforeseen shocks to the economy or society (e.g. trade wars, BREXIT and Coronavirus). When this happens, you need to be prepared to adapt your business model to maintain product-market fit. Would your business be able to survive and prosper? We would like you to envisage an external shock that could cause a fundamental change to at least one part of the Business Model Canvas developed for your team project this semester. For example, the shock might generate a change in the purchasing power of a specific customer segment, the sudden loss of a key resource or a change in the channels you have available for interacting with your consumer group(s) etc. With reference to your Business Model Canvas and Value
Proposition Canvas, describe:
a) What the shock is and why it would impact your business model? (5 marks)
b) Which component/s of your Business Model Canvas would be impacted by the shock? (5 marks)
c) Evaluate whether you would have to adapt the rest of the business model in order to maintain a product-solution fit between your product/service and the market. (10 marks)
Ensure that you briefly justify your response for each business model component

FINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT
DUE JUNE 22nd 11:59PM *NO EXTENSTIONS
CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO LINK
What follows is the final paper for this course in lieu of a final exam. The purpose of this paper is
to test your ability to apply the concepts we have been exploring all semester to ‘real-world’
phenomena. I have left the guidelines for this paper relatively loose intentionally; I decided that
this will give you the creative flexibility to explore the topic as you please. Remember that this
assignment should be treated as a final exam- that is, you are working on it alone. I appreciate
that many of you took the time to reach out and get feedback before the submission of your
annotated bibliography, however due to the aforementioned placement of this assignment as an
‘exam,’ I will not provide feedback on papers prior to submission. You have 5 days to complete
this assignment. My deadline is firm.
INSTRUCTIONS
Given that we are currently experiencing what are undoubtedly the most profound events of our
lifetime, it only makes sense to unpack it sociologically. You may ask ‘but how?’ Well, this is
your task for the final paper: You will analyze EITHER Covid-19 (or rather, society and
Covid-19) OR The Racial Justice Movement (and its relation to society). READ THIS
AGAIN: you will pick ONE of those two options and unpack it using the three main
theoretical paradigms we have explored in every topic throughout the course: Structural
Functionalism, Symbolic Interactionism, and Conflict theory. You will then make the case
as to which method of sociological inquiry is most appropriate in these times and why. To
explore each lens of sociological analysis, you will first outline how the theoretical paradigm
approaches analysis (hint: you will need to cite the textbook to explain how the theoretical
paradigm focuses its analysis) and then you will provide an argument as to how one would
analyze Covid-19 or the Racial Justice Movements using this lens, by using some examples of
this in your own life and/or the world around you in the current circumstances. For the last piece
(the conclusion), you simply need to make a case for which perspective you believe is the most
appropriate and why (hint: be specific, support your claims with evidence and examples, there is
not a right answer here, but you should convince me that there is). You can (but do not need to)
bring in sources outside of the textbook. The assignment is a minimum of 1000 words, and
must follow proper ASA OR APA guidelines (title page + reference page, in-text citations, no
plagiarism etc). Scroll down to page two of this document for a brief outline of how I would
format this tremendous and fun assignment if I was the one writing it in an intro sociology
course. Again, you will pick EITHER of these social phenomena and you must unpack THAT
phenomena through each lens. DO NOT SWITCH BETWEEN TOPICS.
LOOSE OUTLINE OF FUN AND TREMENDOUS ASSIGNMENT
Although it may be counter-intuitive, I am not even requiring an introduction page- just
cut to the chase. Subheadings are required at the beginning of each theoretical
perspective. Below is my assignment logic.
TITLE PAGE
Theoretical perspective number 1 (subheading, 250 words)
– first quarter to half of the page, clearly outline how the theoretical perspective
analyzes a social phenomena.
– Second, apply this lens to Covid-19 or the Racial Justice movement using
examples of your own life or the world around you.
Theoretical perspective number 2 (subheading, 250 words)
– first quarter to half of the page, clearly outline how the theoretical perspective
analyzes social phenomena.
– Second, apply this lens to Covid-19 or the racial justice movements using
examples of your own life or the world around you.
Theoretical perspective number 3 (subheading, 250 words)
– first quarter to half of the page, clearly outline how the theoretical perspective
analyzes social phenomena.
– Second, apply this lens to Covid-19 or the racial justice movement using
examples of your own life or the world around you.
Conclusion (subheading, 250 words)
– Which lens do you find most convincing and why? This is pretty straight forward
(Hint: it will help you to look at the textbook to illustrate the limitations of each
sociological perspective as well as the strengths)
Reference page
ONE MORE TIME: YOU WILL PICK EITHER OF THESE TWO SOCIAL PHENOMONA. WHEN YOU
PICK ONE, YOU MUST USE IT FOR ALL THREE LENSES OF ANALYSIS
