Description

The Business Models New Paradigms course examines how organizations create a value proposition and organize a profit formula in a global environment. In essence, a business model involves the allocation of critical resources and competences in a competitive environment over relatively long periods of time in the pursuit of the creation of value for customers and the capture of the value thus created. Business models are influenced by many factors such as the resources available to management, the industry and the competitive conditions, and of course the firm’s internal structure, systems, and culture. The course will cover the major business model decision-making tools. Participants will learn to assess why and how new and emerging business models develop in a variety of contexts (industries, countries). They will learn how to use methods to explore and exploit breakthrough business models. Particular attention is paid to processes, competencies, competitive positioning and comparative costs that drive value creation. Topics such as two-sided markets, free to fee businesses, ecosystems, network externalities, and servicization are also addressed
