Business Model Innovation Proposal
This assignment has two components:
Discovering the Job
(A) Select a publicly traded organization (Wal-Mart) with which you are familiar (it can be your own company but one you have not yet used in this course or BMGT8130). Write a paper that describes a target customer group from your selected company that reflects a deconstruction of the job that the customer is trying to get done. Also, analyze opportunities for innovation using this new lens. You will be building on the results of this assignment in Unit 5, Assignment 1, for the Business Model Innovation Proposal.
Business Model Innovation Proposal
(B) In section A, you identified and evaluated the job to be done for a target market segment or customer group.

Define all of the proposed elements in the business model innovation, indicating the logic behind the element selection using a synthesis of the assigned readings and your research in support. Also, explain why this business model is innovative.
