You are excited to see the possibilities after finishing the Business Model Canv

You are excited to see the possibilities after finishing the Business Model Canvas Template. The next step is the development of the BMC slide deck for review by the experienced former project manager mentioned in the Module Four assignment. 
In the BMC slide deck, you will make educated assumptions (based on research in Marketline, Yahoo Finance, or the company’s website) about your selected company’s resources, partnerships, cost structures (what needs to be paid for), how the product or service will be marketed, value delivery (product sold online, in-store, or both), and the unique value proposition for a specific targeted market segment.
All 9 segments of your redeveloped BMC must encompass elements to achieve new product/service feasibility.
Beyond profitability, other key elements that the experienced project manager stressed were diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR). In the marketplace, companies that have diverse project teams get varied perspectives that help the overall project. Just as important, companies that “give back” to the communities they serve do better and are supported by millennial buyers—a big target segment for many companies.
Financials, DEI, and CSR must be addressed in the funding pitch.
You will create a slide deck that will help you expand on your BMC chart in detail as you refine how your selected company will create value for itself while delivering a new product or service for customers. Complete the Milestone Two Template linked in the Guidelines for Submission section for this assignment.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Deliver a unique value proposition.

For each of the assignments, find a recent (within the last two months) article

For each of the assignments, find a recent (within the last two months) article in the Wall Street Journal that connects to the assigned chapters.  Save a pdf of it or copy and paste into a Word document.  Upload that to the assignments tab for the week.  Do not simply include the link to the article.  For the assignment, write at LEAST 1,000 words (no more than 2,500, please) about the article.  Connect it to what you have learned from the textbook, either conflicting or backing up what the authors have written, citing the textbook when appropriate.  Also, discuss how it will impact workplaces now and in the future.  Feel free to add any additional information you wish to.  Do use at least one outside source as well as the class text and cite those sources using APA style. Citing the article itself would suffice for the outside source.  Include a reference section at the end of the assignment in APA format.

You will answer the four questions from Unit 2 Case Two (Baltzan, 2021, pp. 143-

You will answer the four questions from Unit 2 Case Two (Baltzan, 2021, pp. 143-144), focusing on the concepts learned in Chapters 6-8 of the textbook. Each question will be thoroughly answered with at least one paragraph of five to eight sentences per paragraph with critical thought. Each paragraph will include an analysis and synthesis with two scholarly/professional references from the university library database. This will be an individual assignment and no group work, as mentioned in the text instructions. The references (including accurate in-text citations) must strongly support your response, not just fill space. The case study will be worth 50 points, graded against the assignment rubric, and due on the last day of Module 2.
Questions
Remember that your data story must provide visual representation of any data that can help make the data more interesting. In a group, review the two examples below ( Figures Unit 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3) and determine the following:
Does the visualization tell the whole story? Are there any questions you cannot answer just by reviewing the visualization?
Are there any data elements that should be removed or added to the visualization to make it more interesting?
Rank the visualizations in order of best data story (1) to worst data story (3). What criteria did you use to rank the visualizations?
Find an example of a data story on the Internet and share it with your peers. Be sure to highlight the pros and cons of the data story.
The case study is about research; not just your opinion. Follow the instructions, no more and no less.
Each case study requires a minimum of five sentences and two new references with citations per question.
If there are five questions, you only need two references with citations supporting each of the five responses. The requirement is not for 10 references and citations necessarily. Some references may be relevant to multiple case study questions.
