Forum 2 – Patterns and Platforms (PO4, CO1, CO4, ILO.BIS3)
What is your pattern (unbundled, long tail, multi-sided)? Provide justification as to what about your activities fit the platform. Be specific.
Please see rubric.
The small business that I am planning to start and do all of my assignments on will be a barbershop. With an old school hometown feel to it.
