What will be an ideal response?
Internet business models include: e-tailer, transaction broker, market creator, content provider, community provider, portal and service. The choice of riskiest model will depend on the individual student. A sample answer is: Today the riskiest model would be a content-provider, because most, if not all, of the major offline entertainment and content producers such as television networks and newspapers are online. They would be your competitors, and already have the means for content creation and distribution in place. All of the other business models do not have the risk of creating brand new content.
