    Study Notes

    Business Model Canvas

    • A business model consists of several building blocks, including Value Proposition, Customer Segments, Cost Structure, Key Resources, Key Activities, and Key Partnerships.

    Value Proposition

    • Describes the bundle of products and services that create value for a specific Customer Segment.
    • Questions to ask: What value do we deliver to the customer? Which one of our customer's problems are we helping to solve? Which job are we helping the customer get done? Which customer needs are we satisfying?
    • The reason why customers turn to your company over another, solving their problem or satisfying their need.

    Customer Segments

    • The different groups of people or organizations your enterprise aims to reach and serve.
    • Questions to ask: For whom are we creating value? Who are our most important customers, clients, or users?
    • Customer groups represent separate segments if: Their needs require and justify a distinct Value Proposition, They are reached through different Distribution Channels, They require different types of relationships, They have a substantially different profitability, or They are willing to pay for different aspects of the Value Proposition.

    Types of Customer Segments

    • Mass market: Focus on one large group of customers with broadly similar needs and problems.
    • Niche market: Cater to specific, specialized Customer Segments.
    • Long-term: Establish a long-term and maybe even deep relationship with the customer.
    • Personal assistance: Based on human interaction, providing help during the sales process or after the purchase.
    • Dedicated personal assistance: Dedicating a customer representative specifically to an individual client.
    • Self-service: Provide all the necessary means for customers to help themselves.
    • Automated services: Mix a more sophisticated form of customer self-service with automated processes.
    • Communities: Utilize user communities to become more involved with customers/prospects and to facilitate connections between community members.
    • Co-creation: Go beyond the traditional customer-vendor relationship to co-create value with customers.
    • Switching costs: Indicate how easy or difficult it is for a customer to switch to a different alternative.

    Cost Structure

    • Describes all costs incurred to operate a business model.
    • Questions to ask: What are the most important costs inherent in our business model? Which Key Resources are most expensive? Which Key Activities are most expensive?
    • The most important costs incurred while operating under a particular business model.

    Types of Cost Structure

    • Cost-driven: Focus on minimizing costs wherever possible, using low price Value Propositions, maximum automation, and extensive outsourcing.
    • Value-driven: Focus on value creation, using premium Value Propositions and a high degree of personalized service.

    Cost Structure Attributes

    • Economies of scale: Cost advantages that a business enjoys as its output expands.
    • Economies of scope: Cost advantages that a business enjoys due to a larger scope of operations.
    • Fixed cost: Costs that remain the same despite the volume of goods or services produced.
