Please answer the following questions in your analysis:Which value chain activities (marketing, logistics, design, human resource management, etc.) make Zara competitive compared with major rivals in the industry segment? What resources (tangible and intangible) and capabilities does Zara have that are valuable, rare, non-imitable, and non-substitutable? How sustainable is Zara’s core competency? Or, how long/how easy does it take for Zara’s competitors to duplicate or substitute Zara’s resources and capabilities? (Hint: intangible resources are harder to duplicate than tangible resources such as factories.) Also, pay attention that strength and weakness are defined as "relative to competitors". So try to compare Zara with its major competitors for each value chain activity.There is a supplementary reading from New York Times and a video posted in this folder, but they are not required to complete the assignmentvideo:

The purpose of this assignment is to create a business model canvas, highlighting how human-centered design and technological advances can be used to solve real-world business problems. This individual assignment is based on the group decision to move forward with a viable hypothesis from the Topic 2 CLC assignment. Expand upon the hypothesis to create an improved hypothesis, based upon at least five sources. Build out each portion in the lean business model canvas. Be sure to include your time and potential expenses within Key Partners, Key Activities, and Key Resources. Based on your individual hypothesis and developed persona that was pitched to the group, develop a summary of your canvas model for submission and feedback. Within your 500-750 word summary of the business model canvas, include research from at least five sources. Your final deliverable in Topic 7 will contain both a PDF of the business model canvas and a Word document summary.

Within the summary, include your ideas for key partners, key activities, key resources, value propositions, customer relationships, customer segments, channels, cost structure, and revenue streams.
