12 Business.What is the SPIRIT for it!!?? Create Value Build New Business Improve and transforms organizations Innovative way of thinking Visionary Game changer Challenge driven

15 WhatsApp!! Feb 2014 Revenues $20 Millions Acquired by Facebook $19 Billions WhatsApp with that!!?

16 Many firms continuously introduce innovations to their products and processes. Yet, many companies will not survive in the long term despite their product innovation capabilities???!! These companies has failed to adapt their BM to the changing environment The future is for competitions between business models, Not between technologies and products.

17

18

19 Why companies fail to develop a breakthrough strategies? Cultural inertia and unwillingness to change a winning formula Contentment and complacency Processes and structures that become rigid and unyielding Strong and unquestioned beliefs and corporate sacred cows Conservatism and fear of losing the current profit stream Strong vested interests and politicking Managerial overconfidence or arrogance Unyielding habits and company norms Overreliance on what has worked in the past Passive and uncritical thinking and quick dismissal of information that conflicts with current view Stubbornness and a passionate but unreflective reliance on past processes, habits, and values 19

20 So.What s up with business models?? Business models have surged into the management vocabulary It has become quite fashionable to discuss business models Business models can serve a positive and powerful role in corporate management Interest in the BM concept from a wide range of disciplines

21 So.What s up with business models?? Business models can be powerful tools for: Analyzing Implementing communicating strategic choices In the mid-1990s, dot-com firms pitched business models to attract funding 27% of Fortune 500 firms used the term BM in their 2001 annual reports Media have certainly gotten on board also. Within major magazines and journals, only one article in 1990 used the term business model three times or more; by 2000, well over 500 articles fell into that category.

22 So.What s up with business models?? Business model can be defined as a unit of analysis to describe how the business of a firm works. Business model is often depicted as an overarching concept that takes notice of the different components a business is constituted of and puts them together as a whole (Demil and Lecocq 2010; Osterwalder and Pigneur, 2010). In other words, business models describe how the magic of a business works based on its individual bits and pieces.

23 What is a Business Model A Business Model describes the rationale how an organization creates, delivers and captures value. Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

24 What is a Business Model Business concept must be: Simple Relevant Understandable A business model is built on 9/?? blocks covering 4 areas: Customer Offers Infrastructure Financial viability

25 Rationale behind the Business Model Canvas (BMC) There is a need for a shared concept that everybody understands enabling description and commensurate discussion about business model(s) Model must be simple, relevant & intuitively understandable, but not oversimplifying the complexities of how an enterprise function. Differentiating business model from other concepts, such as a revenue model, strategy etc.

26 Rationale behind the Business Model Canvas (BMC) BMC tool describes any business model with 9/?? building blocks indicating the logic how company intends to make money (Value) Covers four main areas of business: Customers, offering, infrastructure, and financial viability To describe, analyze, design and validate any business model A blueprint for a strategy to be implemented through organizational structures, processes, and systems

27 So a quick recap =? OK?? = 10 X + Y = 10 What are the possibilities? =? > 3 now that s innovation management, be radical 27

28 Business is fundamentally concerned with creating value and capturing returns from that value, and a model is simply a representation of reality a firm s underlying core logic and strategic choices for creating and capturing value within a value network core logic: suggests that a properly crafted business model helps articulate and make explicit key assumptions about cause-and-effect relationships and the internal consistency of strategic choices business model reflects the strategic choices that have been made Successful firms create substantial value by doing things in ways that differentiate them from the competition

29 Value!! G-D Logic vs S-D Logic Value in exchange (G-D): Value is created in firm and distributed in market through exchange of goods for money. Roles of producers and consumers are distinct, value creation is a series of activities formed by the firm Value in use (S-D): roles of producer and consumer are not distinct. Value is co-created jointly and reciprocally. Value is created through interaction among providers and beneficiaries through integration of resources and application of competencies

30 Value Creation, Value Capture Can Value creation occurs alone!!!? Can value capture occurs alone!!? Hamel 2001, argues: neither value creation, nor value captures occurs in a vacuum! Both occur within a VALUE NETWORK Suppliers Partners Distribution channels Coalitions The role a firm chooses to play within its value network is an important element of BM 30

31 Value Creation, Value Capture

32 Components of BM according to Shafer et.al Strategic Create Value Value Network Capture Value Customer Value proposition Capabilities/compet encies Revenue/Pricing Competitors Output (offering) Strategy Branding Differentiation Mission Resource/Assets Processes/ Activities Suppliers Customer information Customer relationship Information flows Product/Service flow Cost Financial aspects Profits Adopted from: The power of business models, Scott M. Shafer, H. Jeff Smith, Jane C. Linder

33 Business Model.vs. Strategy!! A Business model is not a strategy Strategy can be viewed as a pattern of choices made over time! Strategy is a forward looking plan (Mintzberg), pattern, position, or perspective. Strategy is a position (Porter), choices about which products or services are offered in which markets based on differentiation features Strategy is a perspective (Drucker), choices about how business is conceptualized 33

34 Business Model.vs. Strategy!! A business model facilitates: Analysis Testing Validating firm s strategic choices 34

35 Problems of Business Models Misusing the business model concept can lead to problems Four common problems associated with creation and use of BMs: Flawed assumptions underlying the core logic Limitations in the strategic choices considered Misunderstandings about value creation and value capture Relying on flawed assumptions about the value network 35

36 Problems of Business Models 1/4 Flawed assumptions underlying the core logic: A firm moves into a danger zone if its business model s core logic is based on flawed or untested assumptions about the future Don t confuse assumptions with reality once a set of strategic choices has been made, the resulting business model be checked to ensure that implicit and explicit cause-and-effect relationships are wellgrounded as well as logical. 36

37 Problems of Business Models 2/4 Limitations in the strategic choices considered: A business model should address all of the firm s core logic for creating and capturing value, not just a portion of that logic Customer acquisition.vs. fulfilling orders (etoys) 37

38 Problems of Business Models 3/4 Misunderstandings about value creation and value capture: Tendency to focus so much on the value creation Organizations are unable to capture corresponding economic returns in relation to the value they create. (Yahoo!) Searches of the Web, accounts, stock quotes and other financial information, greeting cards, maps, driving direction.where is the money????? Executives confuse potential value with actual value 38

39 Problems of Business Models 4/4 Relying on flawed assumptions about the value network: A model mistakenly assumes that the existing value network will continue unchanged into the future Gas stations and supermarkets 39

47 Business model definition the magic triangle Value?: The revenue model that captures the value The fourth dimension explains why the business model is financially viable; thus it relates to the revenue model. In essence, it unifies aspects such as, for example, the cost structure and the applied revenue mechanisms, and points to the elementary question of any firm, namely how to generate value What?: The value proposition towards the customer The second dimension describes what is offered to the target customer, or put differently, what the customer values. This notion is commonly referred to as the customer value proposition, or more simply, the value proposition. It can be defined as a holistic view of a company s bundle of products and services that are of value to the customer How?: The value chain behind the creation of this value To build and distribute the value proposition, a firm has to master several processes and activities. These processes and activities, along with the relevant resources and capabilities, plus their orchestration in the focal firm s internal value chain form the third dimension within the design of a new business model. Who?: The target customer Every business model serves a certain customer group. Thus, it should answer the question Who is the customer? Drawing on the argument that the failure to adequately define the market is a key factor associated with venture failure, we identify the definition of the target customer as one central dimension in designing a new business model.

48 Barriers to innovation Why doesn't more companies just come up with a new business model and move into a blue ocean? It is because thinking outside the box is hard to do Mental barriers block the road towards innovative ideas 49

49 Oliver Gassmann, Karolin Frankenberger, Michaela Csik Identified 55 patterns of business models after studying hundreds of companies models from different industries applied in the past 25 years Only few phenomena are really new Often, innovations are slight variations of something that has existed elsewhere, in other industries, or in other geographical areas about 90 % of the innovations turned out to be such re-combinations of previously existing concepts 50

51 The St Gallen Business Model Navigator Transforms the main concept creating business model ideas by utilizing the power of recombination into a ready-to-use methodology, which has proven its usefulness in countless workshops and other formats 3 steps for a new business model: Initiation preparing the journey Ideation moving into new directions Integration completing the picture 52

52 The St Gallen Business Model Navigator Initiation preparing the journey 1/3 Before embarking on the journey towards new business models, it is important to define a starting point and rough direction. Describing the current business model, its value logic, and its interactions with the outside world is a good exercise for getting into the logic of business model thinking. It also builds a common understanding of why the current business model will need an overhaul, which factors endanger its future, or which opportunities cannot be exploited in the current business model. Investigating these woes and the predominant industry logic provides a rough direction according to which the generic business model patterns should be interpreted in step 2. 53

53 The St Gallen Business Model Navigator Ideation moving into new directions 2/3 Re-combining existing concepts is a powerful tool to break out of the box and generate ideas for new business models. To ease this process, we have condensed the 55 patterns of successful business models into a handy set of pattern cards. Each pattern card (see Fig. 28) contains the essential information that is needed to understand the concept behind the pattern: a title, a description of the general logic, and a concrete example of a company implementing the pattern in its business model. During the ideation stage, the level of information on the card is just right to trigger the creation of innovative ideas. 54

54 The St Gallen Business Model Navigator Integration completing the picture 3/3 There is no idea that is clear enough to be immediately implemented in a company. On the contrary, promising ideas need to be gradually elaborated into fullblown business models that describe all four dimensions (who? what? how? why?) and also consider stakeholders, new partners, and consequences for the market. 55

55 Remarks about BM An organization s business model is never complete as the process of making strategic choices and testing business models should be ongoing and iterative The probability of long-term success increases with the rigor and formality with which an organization tests its strategic options through business models 56
