What is Business
Model?
Business model converts innovation to economic value for the
business.
The business model spells-out how a company makes money by specifying where
it is positioned in the
value chain. It draws on a multitude on business subjects including
entrepreneurship,
strategy, economics, finance,
operations, and
marketing.
Simply put, a business model describes how a business
positions itself within the value chain of its industry and how it intends
to sustain itself, that is to generate revenue.
In the most basic sense, a business model is the method of doing business by
which a company can sustain itself – that is, generate revenue.
6Ws of Corporate Growth
Customer
Focus
Exceptional customer service
results in greater
customer retention,

results. They look for ways to cut costs or increase revenues, often at the
expense of the customer.
Yin-Yang of Customer Value Creation
They forget that
satisfying customer needs and continuous
value innovation
is the only path to
sustainable growth. This creates opportunities for new, smaller
companies to emulate and improve upon what made their bigger competitors
successful in the first place and steal their customers.

New Business Models
Old business models don't work in the
new economy.
"The classic business model that has dictated the structure
of every company from General Motors to Microsoft is so at odds with
contemporary economic currents that is must and will disappear."2
Traditional corporations are overstructured, overcontrolled, and overmanaged,
but underled.
Top managers
should rather concentrate on that handful of
real managerial leadership
real
tasks that will bring success in the future. Thus, a
new business model is emerging, a
model where "most of key missions of the organization are distributed to the
myriad individual pieces and unity comes from the vigor of people and the
free flow of knowledge, not a burdensome central headquarters."2...
