The purpose of this assignment is to put you in the place of someone evaluating a Business Model Canvas written by someone that is not familiar with business models. It should be instructive to complete this assignment as you prepare your own business model canvas. In this assignment you will use the material in Chapters 8 and 9 about business models and the Business Model Canvas to evaluate a hypothetical business model canvas for PAWS Dog Walking Service. Please understand I created this business model canvas. It is has flaws. Your job is to identify six (6) poorly done components of the nine components of the Business Model Canvas. Support your response with a well-thought out explanation for each of the six poorly done parts. I will get you started. The first obvious problem is that one of the 9 components of the business model canvas for Cougar Paws Dog Walking Service is blank. I don’t know why Key Partners is not filled in, but the person should have at least tried to think this one through. Leaving it blank just doesn’t make sense. THIS ONE COUNTS AS ONE OF YOUR SIX POORLY DONE COMPONENTS. So, please cut and paste it into the MS Word file you submit for this assignment. To complete this assignment you need to read a little bit about Columbus, GA. Look for trends and other information about the external environment in Columbus (socio-cultural, demographic, economic, technological, political legal). Look for information about the pet industry and competition. By the way, the population of Columbus is growing very slowly (less than 1% per year). Submit the assignment using a MS Word document with the following format: last name_dog walking.doc DO NOT FILL OUT THE ATTACHED BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS. Write a well-thought out explanation for six poorly done parts of the attached Business Model Canvas. I got you started with the first one. Use it in your submission for this assignment. Thank you!
