The Value Propositions Building Block describes 
the bundle of products and services that create 
value for a specific Customer Segment 
الخدامات المقدمة تصف الخدامات التي تأدي إلي فائدة إلي 
المستهلكين 
What value do we deliver to the customer? 
Which one of our customer’s problems are we helping 
to solve? Which customer needs are we satisfying? 
What bundles of products and services are we offering 
to each Customer Segment? 
Customization 
Tailoring products and services to the specific 
needs of individual customers or Customer 
Segments creates value. In recent years, the 
concepts of mass customization and customer 
co-creation have gained importance. This approach 
allows for customized products and services, 
while still taking advantage of economies of scale. 
Consumers: 
Entertainment, knowledge, improve 
performance ... etc 
Organizations: 
Reach, communicate, send 
message, advertising, Accessibility . 
Partners:

The Customer Relationships Building Block 
describes the types of relationships a company 
establishes with specific Customer Segments. 
We should clarify the type of relationship it wants to 
establish with each Customer Segment. 
Automated services 
This type of relationship mixes a more 
sophisticated form of customer self-service 
with automated processes. 
Communities 
Increasingly, companies are utilizing user 
communities to become more involved 
with customers/prospects and to facilitate 
connections between community members. 
Co-creation 
More companies are going beyond the 
traditional customer-vendor relationship to 
co-create value with customers. 
Organizations: 
Reach, communicate, send 
message, advertising, Accessibility . 
Partners: 
Localization, Accessibility, 
communicate, new market 
and regional penetration, Cost 
reduction... 
Consumers: 
Entertainment, knowledge, improve 
performance ... etc
The Revenue Streams Building Block represents 
the cash a company generates from each Customer 
Segment (costs must be subtracted from revenues to 
create earnings) 
For what value are our customers really willing to pay? 
For what do they currently pay? How are they currently 
paying? How would they prefer to pay? How much does 
each Revenue Stream contribute to overall revenues? 
Advertising 
This Revenue Stream results from fees for advertising 
a particular product, service, or brand. Traditionally, 
the media industry and event organizers relied heavily 
on revenues from advertising. 
Asset sale 
The most widely understood Revenue Stream derives 
from selling ownership rights to a physical product. 
Subscription fees 
This Revenue Stream is generated by selling continuous 
access to a service. A gym sells its members 
monthly or yearly subscriptions in exchange for 
access to its exercise facilities. 
Licensing 
This Revenue Stream is generated by giving customers 
permission to use protected intellectual property in 
exchange for licensing fees. Licensing allows rightsholders 
to generate revenues from their property without 
having to manufacture a product or commercialize 
a service.
The Key Resources Building Block describes 
the most important assets required to make a 
business model work 
Physical 
This category includes physical assets such as 
manufacturing facilities, buildings, vehicles, machines, 
systems, point-of-sales systems, and distribution 
networks. 
Human 
Every enterprise requires human resources, but 
people are particularly prominent in certain business 
models. 
Intellectual 
Intellectual resources such as brands, proprietary 
knowledge, patents and copyrights, partnerships, 
and customer databases are increasingly important 
components of a strong business model.

The Key Activities Building Block describes 
the most important things a company must do 
to make its business model work 
Every business model calls for a number of Key Activities. These 
are the most important actions a company must take to operate 
successfully. Social Media channels 
websites and applications 
localization 
Application development 
Platform/network 
Business models designed with a platform as a Key 
Resource are dominated by platform or networkrelated 
Key Activities. 
Problem solving 
Key Activities of this type relate to coming up with 
new solutions to individual customer problems.
Social websites Facebook pages 
mobile apps 
youtube channels
The Key Partnerships Building Block describes 
the network of suppliers and partners that make 
the business model work 
Companies forge partnerships for many reasons, and partnerships 
are becoming a cornerstone of many business models. Companies 
create alliances to optimize their business models, reduce risk, or 
acquire resources. 
Optimization and economy of scale 
The most basic form of partnership or buyer-supplier 
relationship is designed to optimize the allocation of 
resources and activities. 
Reduction of risk and uncertainty 
Partnerships can help reduce risk in a competitive 
environment characterized by uncertainty. 
Acquisition of particular resources and activities 
Few companies own all the resources or perform all 
the activities described by their business models. 
We can distinguish between four different types of 
partnerships: 
1. Strategic alliances between non-competitors 
2. Coopetition: strategic partnerships between competitors 
3. Joint ventures to develop new businesses 
4. Buyer-supplier relationships to assure reliable supplies
The Cost Structure describes all costs incurred to 
operate a business model 
This building block describes the most important costs incurred 
while operating under a particular business model. Creating and delivering 
value, maintaining Customer Relationships, and generating 
revenue all incur costs. 
Fixed costs 
Costs that remain the same despite the volume of 
goods or services produced. Examples include salaries, 
rents, and physical manufacturing facilities. Some 
businesses, such as manufacturing companies, are 
characterized by a high proportion of fixed costs.
