Study Notes
Business Models
- Business models are structured blueprints that define how companies create value, generate revenues, and achieve profitability and growth.
- Three core elements of a business model are:
- Value-creation model: Focuses on customer needs, product/service offerings, and value differentiation.
- Profit model: Defines revenue sources, cost structure, and key profitability drivers.
- Logic of the business: Explains why the business will be successful, outlining its competitive edge, customer attraction, and growth strategies.
- Common revenue models:
- Transactional: Customers pay a fixed price per unit of product or service.
- Subscription: Customers pay a fixed fee for access to products or services for a specific period.
- Licensing: Customers pay a royalty or license fee to use, sell, or copy products within defined limitations.
Customer-Driven Innovation
- Customer-driven innovation is an iterative process where businesses start with understanding and addressing customer needs.
- The process involves several stages:
- Identifying customer needs: Recognizing unmet or poorly addressed market demands.
- Empathy: Deeply understanding the customer's experiences, including observation, engagement, and immersion.
- Definition: Synthesizing empathy findings into actionable problem statements.
- Ideation: Generating diverse solutions to address identified customer needs.
