Library Research AssignmentYou are to select 1 business that does not already have a Web site,
and develop an Internet strategy for it. Most large corporations already
have Web sites, so you may have to think of something on a smaller
scale such as a local bike store. Sole proprietorship businesses that
provide services like car repair, house cleaning, tax preparation, and
that use the Internet and similar services are also good options. You
will also consider and describe how the business that you select can use
social media to achieve its objectives. Use the Internet and the
library to research and analyze markets and competitors.After selecting a business, you will need to answer the following questions:What Internet business model would be appropriate for the company to follow in creating a Web site and why?
In what ways can the business benefit from a Web site? What
functions should it perform for the company (e.g., marketing, sales,
customer support, internal communications, etc.)?
In what other ways might the company use the Internet for its own benefit?
Prepare functional specifications for the company’s use of the
Web and the Internet. Include links to and from other sites in your
design.
Prepare a list of technological specifications for
implementation (e.g., what hardware and software are necessary to
support your design)? Please submit your assignment.Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
Abstract: A summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third-person voice.
