Discuss how has covid changed the sports management industry

Description

My topic is “how has covid changed the sports management industry”

There is a bit of controversy these days regarding whether or not an entrepreneur needs to write a complete business plan. If you are applying for funding as a non-profit, many still require this. Others see the business plan as a waste of time because people often pivot their ideas frequently as they test them out rendering the business plan useless. We live in a business environment that requires you to know how to write a great business plan, but still be flexible as you use processes like LEAN to start your business. A business model canvas is a great middle-ground that enables a beginning entrepreneur to work through some questions that go into a business plan. Some of the business model canvas you may not have considered before. Complete the business model canvas and turn it in here. Then use this to complete your final project. The subject headings are a great way to organize the project, at least partially.
