1 .
Consider TechWorks, which is 100% committed to leveraging innovative technologies as a business growth facilitator. Describe how it can best use computational thinking to create products or services that can generate business. Give precise examples and explain how the start-up would be able to scale the resulting business (i.e., keep sustaining the cost of doing business while increasing its number of customers). Hint: Some companies leverage an incubation arm to come up with innovative ideas and then accelerate the process of developing these ideas into practical solutions via a solution accelerator.

Consider our start-up company that is 100% committed to leveraging innovative technologies as a business growth facilitator. Describe how it can best use adaptive design reuse to create products or services that can generate business. Give precise examples and explain how the start-up would be able to scale the resulting business (i.e., keep sustaining the cost of doing business while increasing its number of customers)? Hint: The company may decide to sell reusable design models and their implementation from a proprietary catalog; it may also focus on providing consulting services to derive complete solutions from its proprietary models.

Consider our start-up company that is 100% committed to leveraging innovative technologies as a business growth facilitator. Describe how it can best leverage evolving architectures into usable products to create products or services that can generate business. Give precise examples and explain how the start-up would be able to scale the resulting business (i.e., keep sustaining the cost of doing business while increasing its number of customers).
