In your readings for this week, you discovered many business systems exist in many forms, depending on an organization’s goals. You have also examined the ways organizations adapt to modernizing business environments and the challenges of being innovative in individual and corporate environments.
Some systems are designed for risk management, while others are designed for continuity and include processes or procedures. To understand a business’s systems, analysts must use a framework to examine those systems. SWOT analysis is one such framework. Another framework that will be the focus of this week’s assignment is the Business Model Analysis method presented in one of this week’s readings, Gaspareto & Henriqson (2020). Utilizing the six-part model (summarized in the first column (titled Dimensions Analysis) of figure 3 on page 11 of that article) along with the knowledge you learned from your other readings and your own research, analyze two company’s business models. The companies can be a grocery store, a restaurant, or a large company like Amazon. While conducting this diagnosis consider yourself in charge of ensuring these systems function properly and have the flexibility to deal with possible changes in the business’s environment.
