Assignment Guidance
TASK 1 is an individual report and must be presented in a report format (1,500 words). It is important
that your report is properly structured. Also, as this is an academic paper, you should draw on
contemporary literature to support your paper. Remember that this individual report accounts for 25%
of your module assessment. Hence, bad performance will have an impact on this module. An
executive summary is required as part of your report.
The eight elements of the business models consists the following complements: Value proposition:
benefits the customer enjoys when buying from a company; Revenue model. how the money is made;
Market opportunity: the nature and size of a company’s marketplace; Competitive environment:
other companies occupying the same marketplace; Competitive advantage: advantages a company
enjoys over its competitors; Market strategy: how a company will target its customers and promote its
products; Organizational development: a company’s management structure; Management team:
experience and skills of a company’s leaders
Your report should include references to the appropriate e-commerce and marketing literature
(textbooks, journals and websites). Care should be taken when consulting websites as they are not all
equally authoritative (for example Wikipedia is not peer-reviewed; therefore is not considered an
academic reference website). A minimum of 8 different academic references must be cited, but a wellresearched
report is likely to cite many more.
You are advised to keep a backup copy of the report until you receive your grade and regularly backup
your work in the cloud (OneDrive, iCloud, Dropbox and GoogleDrive are good examples). A disk
crash is not an acceptable reason for late submission.

Below is an indicative structure for your report:
Title Page
Table of Contents
A list of all the chapters, sections, headings, and sub-headings. Appendices and Figures should be
provided as well as all page numbers as clearly as possible.
Introduction
This should show that you have understood the brief and that you will cover everything required.
Findings and Analysis
?? This is the substance of your report. The structure will vary depending on the material being
presented. Headings and sub-headings should be used to indicate clearly the different
sections.
?? Charts, diagrams and tables can be used to reinforce your arguments, although it may be
better to include the more complex ones as an appendix.
Conclusion
This provides an end to your report through a summary of the important points in your discussion.
Remember not to include any new material here.
Reference List / Bibliography
The terms reference list and bibliography are sometimes used interchangeably, but here we define the
terms as:

studied while composing your essay, but not specifically cited in the text
?? Reference list – a list of cited sources.
