Following our on-line session on social enterprise business models, and drawing on the assigned readings, write a 3-5 page paper on the business model you deem to be most appropriate for bringing your vision (real or hypothetical) to life, considering both maximum impact and financial sustainability. You will be expected to support your thought process and conclusion with analysis, facts, and/or examples. Submit your paper (3-5 pages) using the Assignments tool in the Courses menu by the date indicated in the course schedule.

To reiterate, the paper is to cover in the business model pertaining to your idea (how you make money, with possible variations on that depending on potential certain unknowns at this point).

Don’t need to write entity structures, certifications, and funding strategies. None of this should be included in the paper, necessarily, and most definitely should not be substituted for the content and length requirements of the paper

Pick an issue that makes sense to you pick an issue that you know I know you guys all have something in mind and and then apply it if you want to do research on the market. Great.

But know that the bulk should be on the business model discussion, your analysis, how you lay out your thinking and then different considerations that might shift that right so
