Hello, just read the requirement documents. I need to use 20 concept, expect below concepts

Income Elasticity of Demand (normal, inferior, luxury)‡
Uncertainty, Risk*
Concentration Ratio, HHI?
Porter’s Five Forces (counts as 3!)
Opportunity/Implicit/Hidden Costs*
(substitutes, complements)‡ Project Description
This project is designed for you to apply many of the economic principles learned in your economics classes to a real-world business application. Specifically, you will choose a publicly-traded
company (or at least on that has widely available info) that has recently (in the last few years)
launched a new product. Your team (ideally four members) will then act as project managers and
prepare a paper and presentation to the board of directors of this company. All members will
agree on the project.1
I will provide a list of key economic concepts, ranging from price elasticity of demand to adverse selection. You are expected to include at least 20 of these. Each concept must be 1) defined,
2) applied, and 3) cited (the application is cited, NOT the definition).
More Details
You are expected to discuss the main features of the industry (not just the firm and product),
and are encouraged to explore the strategic interactions in the selected company’s industry. You
should also highlight the global context that this firm engages in. You are further encouraged to
take on questions related to ethics and sustainability.
Again, your project needs to clearly be directed to the board of directors (unless you follow
footnote 1; you’ll need to have a discussion with the professor). Further, the report should have
3 to 5 (or more) sections to provide structure and organization. The 20 concepts should then be
brought seamlessly into the sections. To assist you and me, please bold the concepts when your
first introduce them. You will also fill out the Concept Map spreadsheet to keep track of which
concept was introduced in which section and by whom. Finally, not every paragraph/sentence
has to touch on one of the 20 concepts, but every paragraph/sentence should support the purpose
for the report and the section.
2
The paper should follow APA formatting and citation rules. These include double-spaced,
letter-size paper, 12-pt font and 1 inch margins. Further, there are clear guidelines regarding bibliography, in-text citations and more. You probably want to provide an “Executive Summary”
instead of an Abstract, given the business focus of the project.

Examples
Sample 1 Tesla can benefit from economies of scope. Economies of scope means using the same factory
for more than 1 product. (no points; incorrect definition – definition not tied to context;
also, definition disrupts flow)
Sample 2 Tesla can benefit from economies of scope. Economies of scope implies that the costs of two
separate product lines is higher than the cost of one integrated production operation for the
two product lines. (no points; correct definition – but definition not tied to context; also,
definition disrupts flow)
Sample 3 The Gigafactory, which will produce batteries for cars as well as America’s 50 million households, can help Tesla to achieve economies of scope. The costs of a combined operation for
these related product lines should be less than the costs of operating. (no/partial points;
correct definition – definition tied to context, but key concept tied to unsupported fact.
Should cite Tesla (that the costs will be reduced) and the US Census (where you could
find that there are more than 50M US households). Definition does not interrupt flow
Sample 4 The Gigafactory will produce batteries for cars as well as households (Tesla, 2015). As the
costs of a combined operation for these related product lines should be less than the costs of
operating separate production processes, one expects economies of scope for Tesla (Medium,
2014). (full points; correct definition of economies of scope- definition tied to context. The
main facts have published articles for support. Definition does not interrupt flow).
