3 Business Models Definition A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value, in economic, social, cultural or other contexts. (Business Model Generation, A. Osterwalder, Yves Pigneur, Alan Smith, and 470 practitioners from 45 countries, self published, 2010) Business Models are stories that explain how enterprises work. (Margretta. Why Business Models Matter. Harvard Business Review. 2002) A business model is the method of doing business by which a company can sustain itself -- that is, generate revenue.

46 Business Models Innovations (BMIs) BMIs represent an often underutilized source of future value Competitors might find it more difficult to imitate or replicate an entire novel activity system than a single novel product or process Since BMIs can be a potentially powerful competitive tool, managers must be attuned to the possibility of competitors efforts (that come from outside their traditional industry barriers) Source: Amit, R., & Zott, C. (2012). Creating value through business model innovation. MIT Sloan Management Review, 53(3).

48 Bait & Hook BMI (Subscription model) A customer must pay an ongoing fee, usually monthly or annually, to gain ongoing access to a product or service. In some instances, the model is tied to the purchase and operation of an asset, where the consumer must pay an ongoing fee to make the asset operational. Examples of brands using the "Bait & Hook" business model: Coffee machines: very low price for buying the coffee machine and after paying a lot of money for the coffee caps. Mobile phones: low price for the mobile phone, even free, being subsidised by the telecoms operator and after a minimum monthly fee with a predefined permanence period. Printers: cheap price for the printer machine but after a high price for printer cartridges.

49 Product as a Service BMI Consumers pay for the services that a product provides without the responsibility of repairing, replacing or disposing of it. This model shifts the burden of product repair and replacement to the company, and offers customers top product performance at all times, creating more accountability within the broader system for product disposal, and higher likelihood of product repair, reuse and recycling.

50 Freemium BMI A proprietary product or service (often software, media or web services) is provided free of charge, but money (premium) is charged for premium features, functionality or virtual goods. A freemium model is sometimes used to build a consumer base when a critical mass is needed to make the product valuable to consumers.

51 Collective Consumption BMI (Shared Economy) The sharing economy has changed the way consumers think about ownership and created a new level of engagement between users around the world. Shared resource models enable customers to access a product, rather than own it, and use it only as needed.

52 Multi-sided Platforms BMI A business is able to connect users with each other and provide the underlying infrastructure on which others can build and exchange value. Any business is able to connect users with each other and provide the underlying infrastructure on which others can build and exchange value.

54 Crowd-funding BMI Tap the resources of an entire network to raise money in increments from a group of people; they are financial contributions from online investors, sponsors or donors to fund for-profit or non-profit initiatives or enterprises. Pebble: > $20 million Ouya: > $8.5 million

55 Produce on Demand BMI An organisation produces a product only when consumer demand has been quantified and confirmed. Companies do so via online platforms that enable consumers to design their own products, vote on preferred product elements, and in some cases engage with other consumers in product creation.

56 Physical to Virtual BMI To eliminate brick and mortar infrastructure and dramatically reduce the resources needed to supply a product to a consumer. It changes where and how a transaction happens.
