presentation underlying your own strategic approach in function of your own experiences. What is
really important is to incorporate the frameworks and academic models developed in the module to
justify your answers. In doing so, you may want to leverage STP of a particular set of market actors

As such, someone educated sitting in a trendy cafe in town could realistically attempt to answer the
questions in a generic manner. Students are thus expected to go beyond generic answers by
increasingly tech savvy consumers. It is important for your essay not to be just descriptive of a tool
like blockchain but to include a reflective strategic approach.
