As we pointed out, a lemonade stand has a simple business structure; yet, it can help us understand almost every function of a firm; such as marketing, operations, finance, technology, entrepreneurship and many other aspects. In our two assignments in this course, you will own and operate your very own lemonade stand as you apply the knowledge you have learned from the course.
