BMC Final Project

This is the final project for Introduction to Business. You have spent the year learning how to create value, connect value and capture value. If you walk away with nothing else, you should know that you are made in the image of God and you are called to the act of "subduing" the earth through your work.

In addition to the big picture, understanding the basic business model is critical. You need to create a business/organizational that solves a problem within your field of interest. Don't just solve any problem. You need to solve a problem that uplifts people. Make the impossible, possible.
