Study Notes
Introduction to Digital Business Models
- Digital business models encompass various types including E-Business and E-Commerce.
- They involve economic activities facilitated by electronic networks, heavily relying on data and digital information.
- Key components include value creation, processing, and fulfillment of services.
Digitization and Digital Transformation
- Digitization transforms continuous signals into discrete signals, allowing data processing with digital channels.
- Digital transformation (DT) signifies significant changes in organizations driven by new technologies such as information, computing, communication, and connectivity (ICCC).
- Digitalization extracts and utilizes information obtained through digitization to enhance processes and decision-making.
Digital Business Concepts
- Differences exist between digitalization, digitization, and digital transformation, with overlaps between definitions.
- Digital business is divided into types:
- Analog companies (prior to transformation)
- Digit(ali)zed companies (data supports value creation)
- Native digital companies (data is core to value).
Types of Digital Business Models
- Digit(al)ized models focus on physical goods and utilize digital channels for administrative support.
- Native digital models provide digital goods/services and rely on data as their primary resource for value creation.
Characteristics of Digital Goods
- Digital goods possess unique properties:
- Nonrivalry: Usage by one does not diminish availability for others.
- Infinite Expansibility: Easy for unlimited copying with virtually no reproduction costs.
- Aspatiality: Not tied to specific locations, making dissemination highly flexible.
- Recombination: Existing digital goods can merge into new products.
Value Add of Digital Business
- Digital business models enhance value through:
- Fast and instant fulfillment of services.
- Reach to niche markets (Long Tail Theory).
- Low transaction costs and efficient production.
- Opportunities for automation and disintermediation.
Long Tail and Disintermediation
- The Long Tail theory suggests that niche markets can thrive alongside or outpace mainstream offerings in digital contexts.
- Disintermediation involves bypassing intermediaries in the supply chain, reducing costs and conflicts in traditional sales channels.
Disruption in Digital Markets
- Disruption occurs when new entrants meet market needs with lower-cost alternatives, potentially altering industry structures.
- Examples of disruption include advancements in photography, communication technologies, and streaming media.
Segmentation Frameworks
- Wirtz proposes frameworks for segmenting digital business models in B2C and B2B markets, analyzing their complexity and visibility.
- Bock and Wiener suggest a taxonomy based on five key dimensions using a "morphological box" for structural analysis.
Closing Remarks
- Understanding these digital business models is essential for navigating the evolving online marketplace and leveraging opportunities presented by digital technologies and data analytics.### Segmentation of Digital Business Models (DBM)
- Ecosystems involve multiple user groups and complex business relationships.
- Platform models attract and manage user communities; typical relationships are N-to-N or N-to-M.
- Basic/Core models are the simplest and oldest, with typical relationships being 1-to-N.
- Back-End/Enabling models vary in complexity, often operate invisibly to consumers, and serve as foundational technology or service components.
- Overlapping boundaries exist between different segments, indicating some interconnection.
Framework for Analysis: External/Customers' Perspective
- Analyze the business model by describing its principal offerings and content from the customer viewpoint.
- Identify relevant stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, and partners, in the business model.
- Understand the flow of goods, services, money, and information.
- Explore how value is monetized and what customers pay for that value.
- Examine variations in customer segments (e.g., B2A, B2C, B2M, B2X2Y).
- Assess new benefits or cost savings generated by the model.
Sketch of a Business Model (External View)
- Illustrate flows of goods/services and money within the business model.
- Highlight value creation (internal components) and value capturing (sales and sourcing) models.
- Include partners' interactions within the model to depict comprehensive relationships.
Framework for Analysis: Drivers (Determining Factors)
- Examine how customers are acquired and how the customer base grows, including user base dynamics.
- Identify the structure of revenue per customer, emphasizing relevant KPIs.
- Analyze fixed and variable costs related to physical assets, workforce, intellectual property, and customer acquisition.
Analysis of Customer Relationships Along the Lifecycle
- Identify acquisition channels and methods for generating leads and converting them into customers.
- Focus on revenue per transaction, repeat purchases, and customer activation.
- Monitor customer loyalty, defection rates, and overall customer lifetime value (CLV).
Framework for Analysis: Assessment and Evaluation
- Assess growth trajectories and the capital necessary for business models.
- Explore scalability, ease of changing offerings, and value generated by the business model.
- Evaluate imitation difficulty, market dependency, and the influence on customer behavior.
- Analyze competition changes and the implications for existing business models and value chains.
Outline of Core Digital Business Models
- Introduction covers concepts, characteristics, and models of value capturing and creation.
- Digital business fundamentals address key terms, segmentation, and analysis framework.
- Core models include electronic commerce, content-driven, and service models.
- Platform models focus on marketplaces, crowdsourcing, social networks, and aggregators.
- Ecosystems are divided into consumer-oriented and business-oriented modules.
- Back-End models encompass cloud computing and asset management.
