Business Model Innovation

Understanding Business Models
„ […] we define a business model as a
representation of a firm’s underlying core logic
and strategic choices for creating and capturing
value within a value network.“ (Shafer, S. M./
Smith, H. J./ Linder, J. C. (2005))
… sharp definition - but does it really help?

Understanding Business Models
Business Model ≠ Business Process Model
Business Model ≠ Enterprise Model
Business Model ≠ Business Plan
No business plan survives the first customer contact!?

Business Model Canvas by Dr. Osterwalder

Core Questions:
•Who is the customer?
•What does the customer value?
•What is the underlying economic logic?
•How do we make money in this business?
