Why is a business model important?

1. Why is a business model important? Business models translate information about a company including their plan to generate profits. A business model is a company’s core strategy which identifies the value proposition, the target audience, collaboration opportunities, costs and sources of financing, marketing strategy, and projections of revenues and expenses. Business models are crucial to attract investments, recruit talent, and satisfy client needs at a competitive price and a sustainable cost (Kopp, 2019). 2. How are business models influenced by internal and external factors? The main external factors that influence business models are government policy, culture, market pressure, and technology. Internal factors include entrepreneurship, strategy, human resources, and organizational capabilities (Tian, Zhang, Yu, & Cao, 2019). These factors can effect business models by imposing limitations, or hindrances from success. 3. Conduct a little research on models and discuss the difference between the product model and the marketing model. Is one model better than the other? Explain. The product model relies on producing a high-quality product and theorizes that the product will be successful in the market place when offered at an acceptable consumer price. This model focuses on the product without considering consumers’ wants and needs. The marketing model seeks to understand the needs and wants of consumers in a target audience and tailors the product to the consumer. While companies may experience initial success with product modeling, eventually they must adopt the marketing model to compete with rival businesses, or to maintain relevancy. 1. The business model sets the ground work for everything. It is also what an entrepreneur shows potential investors to get them on board. A proper & well put together model is essential to a start up. 2. A business model can be influenced internally by few things. Like if the company is failing in certain areas & you need to move money around or change that part of the business model. It can also be influenced by external factors also. Say a new social media monster comes along & now everyone has to try to get their product advertisement on that platform now. Same way companies had to switch up from Facebook to twitter or instagram. They constantly need to evolve with the times. 3. The product model focuses on the pricing & quality of the given product. Whereas the marketing model is for determining what a consumer actually wants in order to satisfy them. It also determines the target market so they are showing the right people their product.

Discuss any potential changes in the incentives for low-skilled workers to increase their human capital, and for employers to substitute capital inputs (technology and automation) for labor.

Since 2009, the national minimum wage has been $7.25 per hour for most occupations in the private sector. Many of those who support an increase in the minimum wage believe this is one way the government could possibly reduce poverty, while its opponents believe that it creates unemployment and hurts low-skilled workers. The following items address the idea of raising the minimum wage from the current federal minimum of $7.25 per hour.1) Minimum wage is a price floor, so discuss the effect of a minimum wage law from a supply and demand standpoint, making sure to address the concept of surplus or shortage with respect to the quantity of labor supplied and the quantity of labor demanded that is generated by this price floor.2) What will be the impact on the prices of the products produced by workers working at or near the minimum wage level, and how will this affect overall consumer purchasing?3) Discuss any potential changes in the incentives for low-skilled workers to increase their human capital, and for employers to substitute capital inputs (technology and automation) for labor.4) What might be an unintended impact on government spending on entitlements such as welfare, food stamps, and unemployment compensation in light of the fact that changes in the minimum wage can create changes in unemployment and underemployment?5) Do advocates of a minimum wage law believe that workers should be paid based on their output (i.e., performance) or on their level of need?  6) Advocates of a minimum wage often believe that employers would “exploit” or “take advantage” of their workers if there were no minimum wage. How would you know if employers are “taking advantage” of their workers if there were no minimum wage? What could the employee do if they believed they were being exploited?7) Compare and contrast some of the information contained in the two videos:Obama: “Raise Minimum Wage to $9 an Hour” – SOTU 2013 How the Minimum Wage Creates UnemploymentWhich do you agree with more from an economic perspective and why? Be specific!8) Based on your responses, do you believe that the minimum wage should be raised, lowered, remain as it currently is, or be altogether eliminated? If you think there should be a minimum wage, how would you arrive at the specific wage?

Write a paper addressing what happens in court to a criminal case when an officer does not possess reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

Knowing the distinctions between reasonable suspicion and probable cause are essential, foundational aspects of criminal justice, just as mens rea and actus reus were in your studies last week. Reasonable suspicion is an objective belief by an officer that an investigation needs to be conducted into a potential crime. Probable cause is the standard required for arrest. Keep these distinctions clear in this week’s presentations and in your criminal justice career. Support your responses with credible sourcing, either from the required readings this week, or from independent research that you conduct in the Ashford University Library or online, and properly cite any references.Two commonly confused concepts in criminal law are reasonable suspicion and probable cause. 1.) Define and evaluate both of these significant legal terms, and utilize pertinent U.S. Supreme Court opinions to justify your answers.2.)Address what happens in court to a criminal case when an officer does not possess reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
