30. Un-Bundling Business Models
• The concept of the “unbundled” corporation holds that
there are three fundamentally different types of
businesses
• The three types may co-exist within a single corporation,
but ideally they are “unbundled” into separate entities in
order to avoid conflicts or undesirable trade-offs
• Business Types
– Customer Relationship Businesses
– Product Innovation Businesses
– Infrastructure Businesses
• Examples: Private Banking Industry and Mobile Telecom
Industry

31. Un-Bundling Business Model
Example: The Mobile Teleco
• Traditionally Mobile telecommunication
competed on network quality.
• They realize that their key asset is no
longer the network—it is their brand
and their Customer Relationships.
• What they did in:
– Telecos have outsourced operation and maintenance to equipment
manufacturers.
– Teleco can sharpen its focus on branding and segmenting
customers and services.
– Telecos work with multiple third-parties that assure a constant
supply of new technologies, services, and media content such as
mapping, games, video, and music

32. The Long Tail
• Long tail business models are about selling
less of more.
• They focus on offering a large number of
niche products, each of which sells relatively
infrequently.
• Examples: Youtube, Facebook and Lulu.com
10/28/2013
Business Model Generation
34
33. The Long Tail
Example: Books Publishing Industry
• Old Model:
– The traditional book publishing model is built
on a process of selection whereby publishers
screen many authors and select those that
seem most likely to achieve minimum sales
targets.
• New Model:
– Lulu.com’s business model is based on
helping niche and amateur authors bring
their work to market.
– It eliminates traditional entry barriers by
providing authors the tools to craft, print,
and distribute their work through an online
marketplace.

34. Multi-sided Platforms
• Multi-sided platforms bring together two or
more distinct but interdependent groups of
customers.
• The platform creates value by facilitating
interactions between the different groups.
• Examples: Visa, Google and eBay
10/28/2013
Business Model Generation
36
35. Multi-sided Platforms
Example: Google's Business Model
• The heart of Google’s business model is its
Value Proposition of providing extremely
targeted text advertising globally over the
web.
• The model only works, though, if many people
use Google’s search engine.
• The more people Google reaches, the more
ads it can display and the greater the value
created for advertisers.

36. FREE as a Business Model
• In the free business model at least one
substantial Customer Segment is able to
continuously benefit from a free-of-charge
offer.
• Non-paying customers are financed by
another part of the business model or by
another Customer Segment.
• Examples: Flickr, Youtube, Skype and Google

37. FREE as a Business Model

views the business model
through customers‘ eyes, an
approach that can lead to the
discovery of completely new
opportunities.

using visual tools such as
pictures, sketches and diagrams

sketching it out.
10/28/2013

43. 4. Prototyping
• Prototyping is a powerful tool for developing
new, innovative business models. It makes
abstract concepts tangible and facilitates the
exploration of new ideas.
• Prototyping comes from the
design and engineering
disciplines, where it is widely
used for product design,
architecture, and interaction design.

communicate what it is all about. Good stories
engage listeners, so the story is the ideal tool to
prepare for an in-depth discussion of a business
model and its underlying logic.
