This book will give you deep insight into the nature of business models.
It describes traditional and bleeding-edge models and their dynamics,
innovation techniques, how to position your model within an intensely
competitive landscape, and how to lead the redesign of your own organi-
zation’s business model.
Certainly you’ve noticed that this is not the typical strategy or man-
agement book. We designed it to convey the essentials of what you need
to know, quickly, simply, and in a visual format. Examples are presented
pictorially and the content is complemented with exercises and workshop
scenarios you can use immediately. Rather than writing a conventional
book about business model innovation, we’ve tried to design a practical
guide for visionaries, game changers, and challengers eager to design or
reinvent business models. We’ve also worked hard to create a beautiful
book to enhance the pleasure of your “consumption.” We hope you enjoy
using it as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.
An online community complements this book (and was integral to
its creation, as you will discover later). Since business model innovation
is a rapidly evolving field, you may want to go beyond the essentials in
Business Model Generation and discover new tools online. Please consider
joining our worldwide community of business practitioners and research-
ers who have co-created this book. On the Hub you can participate in
discussions about business models, learn from others’ insights, and try
out new tools provided by the authors. Visit the Business Model Hub at

Business model innovation is hardly new. When the founders of Diners
Club introduced the credit card in 1950, they were practicing business
model innovation. The same goes for Xerox, when it introduced photo-
copier leasing and the per-copy payment system in 1959. In fact, we might
trace business model innovation all the way back to the fifteenth century,
when Johannes Gutenberg sought applications for the mechanical printing
device he had invented.
The book is divided into five sections: 1 The Business Model Canvas, a tool for describing, analyzing,
and designing business models, 2 Business Model
Patterns, based on concepts from leading business
thinkers, 3 techniques to help you design business
models, 4 re-interpreting strategy through the
business model lens, and 5 a generic process to
help you design innovative business models, tying
together all the concepts, techniques, and tools in

Assignment #1: All About Me
(10 pts = Essay & Photo)
Assignment Description:
One of the powerful experiences of GS 420 is the sharing of life stories. By sharing your own story, you
begin the journey of your own self-discovery and self-reflection. We cannot possibly begin to
understand the disability experience of someone else unless we can examine our own experiences with
life. Everyone’s story is unique, and yet, we all struggle with life’s challenges and we all care about
issues that are meaningful to us. This experience of storytelling can bond us together in our diversity.
To write and share your story is to grow in who you are and at the same time, gain a more profound
understanding of the people who will share their stories with you in this course.
Requirements:
● 3 Page Essay - (9 points)
Write a 3-page minimum, double spaced, 12 point font essay about the story of your life. The
story of your life can include:
● Your family
● Your community
● Friends and acquaintances
● Extracurricular activities & hobbies
● Important events in your life
● Your major (and your minor if applicable)
● And how all these things made you who you are
We also want you to include:
● Previous disability-related experience
● How your culture views people with disabilities
● What you hope to learn from this course
Some of you will feel more comfortable with writing a timeline of your life so far – dividing your
life into periods. Others may want to describe your life thematically, or perhaps allegorically.
You get to choose how you share your story.
Your story is considered confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than the
instructors and teaching assistants (who assist with grading during the semester).
You are not required to include parts of your story that you are uncomfortable sharing.
However, sometimes sharing or exploring challenging areas of our life can be a step in
pressing through.
● Photo of yourself - (1 point) Include a photo of yourself that is current, identifiable, and
appropriate. This picture should be inserted at the end of your summary. If you are not
comfortable including a photo, you may choose a picture that reflects your interests/hobbies.

Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father .docxransayo
Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father recently passed away in a tragic car accident. Zoe, her mom, and two older brothers have temporarily relocated from out-of-state and are now living in her grandparents’ house in a small, rural community.
Because the family had been living out-of state, Zoe has never interacted with her grandparents. She has challenges responding to social cues, including her name and in understanding gestures. She also engages in repetitive body movements. She is fond of her set of dolls and likes lining them up. When Zoe is agitated, her mother plays Mozart, which seems to have a calming effect. Zoe also enjoys macaroni and cheese.
Her grandparents do not understand Zoe’s attempts at communicating. Zoe does not respond well to crowded and noisy environments. Zoe’s mom is working outside the home for the first time.
Because of the move, Zoe has transferred to a new school, which does not currently have any students with ASD. Although her mom is generally very involved with Zoe’s education, she is away from the home much of the time due to a long commute for her new job is a neighboring city.
Zoe’s grandparents are eager and willing to help in any way they can.
Imagine you are serving as an ASD consultant at Zoe’s new school. Using the COMPASS model, create a COMPASS Action Plan for Zoe by complete the following tasks:
Identify the personal challenges for Zoe;
Identify the environmental challenges for Zoe;
Identify potential supports; and
Identify and prioritize teaching goals.
In addition, include a 250-500-word rationale that explains how your action plan for Zoe demonstrates collaboration in a respectful, culturally responsive way while promoting understanding, resolving conflicts, and building consensus around her interventions.

CATASTROPHE THEORY… OCCURS WHEN? WHAT DOES THE GRAPH LOOK LIKE
· Arousal: is a blend of physiological and psychological activity in a person and it refers to the intensity dimensions of motivation at a particular moment. It ranges from not aroused, to completely aroused, to highly aroused; this is when individuals are mentally and physically activated.
· Performance increases as arousal increases but when arousal gets too high performance dramatically decreases. This is usually caused by the performer becoming anxious and sometimes making wrong decisions. Catastrophes is caused by a combination of cognitive and somatic anxieties. Cognitive is the internal worries of not performing well while somatic is the physical effects of muscle tension/butterflies and fatigue through playing.
· The graph is an inverted U where the x line is the arousal and the y is the performance. Performance peaks on the top of the inverted U and the catastrophe happens in the fall of the inverted U
HIGH TRAIT ANXIETY ATHLETES… HOW DO THEY PERCEIVE COMPETITION?
· Anxiety: is a negative emotional state in which feelings of nervousness, worry and apprehension are associated with activation or arousal of the body
· Trait Anxiety: is a behavioral disposition to perceive as threatening circumstances that objectively may not be dangerous and to then respond with disproportionate state anxiety.
· Somatic Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically perceived heightened physical symptoms (muscle tension)
· Cognitive Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically worries or has self doubt
· Concentration Disruption: the degree to which one typically has concentration disruption during competition
People usually with high trait anxiety usually have more state anxiety in highly competitive evaluative situations than do people with lower trait anxiety. Example two athletes are playing basketball and both are physically and statistically the same both have to shoot a final free throw to win the game. Athlete A is more laid back which means his trait anxiety is lower and he doesn't view the final shot as a overly threatening. Athlete B has a high trait anxiety and because of that he perceives the final shot as very threatening. This has an effect on his state anxiety much more than.

Do You Choose to Accept?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and see Mission: Impossible-Fallout. As I sat back in my red-cushioned seat, accompanied by my brothers, I knew I was in for something special. The film takes place two years after two-thousand fifteens hit movie, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation. While I had no clue what to expect, I knew I was going to be in for an incredible ride as soon as the movie began with the intense dialogue between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). From beginning to end, Mission: Impossible- Fallout delivers crazy action-thriller scenes, inventive special effects, and creative cinematography.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout is based on a story of an American agent who must retrieve nuclear weapons from an enemy terrorist organization with help of his specialized IMF team. The film was consistent the first hour with it involving the audience in the mission of the secret organization and trying to figure out the next move of the evil organization known as the Apostles. However, towards the middle of the movie it was revealed that one of the CIA agents was playing the role of a double spy and was on the side of the Apostles. The plot delivered intense action-packed scenes between the opposing groups that personally had me at the edge of my seat. Whether it was a chase on motorcycles, cars, speedboats, or helicopters, each scene had Ethan Hunt running for his life to save the world. Even though I was only viewing the movie from a comfortable movie theater, Hunt zigzagging through the traffic of France on a motorcycle had my fists clenched and adrenaline pumping. However, that was not even the best thriller of the movie. Ethan Hunt trailing Agent Walker in a helicopter with heavy rounds of artillery being fired at each other through the snowcapped mountains of Kashmir may very well be one of the best action scenes in cinematic history. Mission: Impossible-Fallout can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences because of its action-packed scenes that keep everyone extremely engaged in the plot.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout brilliantly illustrates the amazing special effects that serve to create the theme and style of the film. From creating bloody wounds to spectacular backgrounds, special effects are abundant throughout the movie. For instance, as Hunt is jumping off an airplane, the special effects of this scene include wind, rain, thunder, and clouds that make the film visually appealing and almost realistic. The thunder striking him as he is skydiving had my jaw wide open simply because of how incredible the illusion was displayed. In almost every fight between Hunt’s team and the Apostles, multiple types of special effects were utilized. Fighting sequences with Hunt angrily running towards Lane and delivering devastating punches accompanied by “POWs” and “AAAHs” seemed so realistic that it had me feeling queasy in my stomach. The gunfire during these fight.

The Education Gap
Research Question:
How did the youth of Iran make up the education gap resulted from the Cultural Revolution from 1980 to 1982?
This is a critical question because it involves both education and the youth of Iran. Education and the youth are both very fundamental perspectives for a society to thrive. During the cultural revolution, the education system was shut down, which would undermine the overall quality of a generation.

· State the thesis statement:
· The education gap is made up by the youth in Iran. They promoted the student movement to help the society recover from the revolution.

Violation of Civil Rights Act in Elections
Introduction
Despite the assurance of minority voter’s rights by the constitution and the fourteenth amendment, cases of rights violation with regards to the voting process are still on the rise in the US. Minority groups are often discriminated or blocked from participating in the voting process both in ways that they can discern and through cunning plans that can involve the voting process. Some of the main reasons why minorities’ constitutional rights are violated include racial discrimination by majority races, and to manipulate the outcome of the elections so as to keep minority groups out of the political leadership structure. The fourteenth amendment and the constitution do not sufficiently safeguard the rights of minority groups during elections beca.

Days in Inventory 14.53 14.39 365/Inventory Turnover
Debts to Asset Ratio 0.86 0.86 Total Debts/Total Assets
IBM's days in inventory is around two weeks and this means that goods in the inventory
as efficnetly distributed and that there is a consitantly good inventory control for the
company.
The company's debts to assets ratio is the same for two years and this means that the
company has less debt than asset. However, it is still a relatively poor ratio because this
might show that there are potential problems for the company to generate sufficient
revenue.
The current ratio of the company has decreased over the year, and this means that the
company has less liquid assets to cover its short term liabilities. Since the ratio is
currently approaching 1, the company might be having liquidation problem.
The profit margin for IBM is very stable and it has been about 12% for two years. The
company is performing the profit-generating ability at an average level and it is having
an average profit margin in the industry.
The receiveables turnover is good for the company while between these two years, there
is a decline. As the company is collecting its accounts receiveables around 10 times per
year, the collection is frequent.
The company has been collecting money from customers on credit sales approximately
once every month, and the company usually has fast credit collection, which means that
the risk for credit sales is relatively low.
Inventory turnover measures how many times a company sells and replaces inventory
during a year and for IBM, the number of times is stable and it is constantly around 25.
This means that the company has an efficient control of its goods in the inventory.

Zheng He's Inscription
This inscription was carved on a stele erected at a temple to the goddess the Celestial Spouse at Changle in Fujian province in 1431. Message written before his last voyage.
The Imperial Ming Dynasty unifying seas and continents, surpassing the three dynasties even goes beyond the Han and Tang dynasties. The countries beyond the horizon and from the ends of the earth have all become subjects and to the most western of the western or the most northern of the northern countries, however far they may be, the distance and the routes may be calculated. Thus the barbarians from beyond the seas, though their countries are truly distant, "have come to audience bearing precious objects and presents.
The Emperor, approving of their loyalty and sincerity, has ordered us (Zheng) He and others at the head of several tens of thousands of officers and flag-troops to ascend (use) more than one hundred large ships to go and confer presents on them in order to make manifest (make it happen) the transforming power of the (imperial) virtue and to treat distant people with kindness. From the third year of Yongle (1405) till now we have seven times received the commission (official permission) of ambassadors to countries of the western ocean. The barbarian countries which we have visited are: by way of Zhancheng (Champa Cambodia), Zhaowa (Java), Sanfoqi (Palembang- Indonesia) and Xianlo (Siam/Thailand) crossing straight over to Xilanshan (Ceylon- Sri Lanka) in South India, Guli (Calicut) [India], and Kezhi (Cochin India), we have gone to the western regions Hulumosi (Hormuz Between Oman and Iran), Adan (Aden), Mugudushu (Mogadishu- Somalia), altogether more than thirty countries large and small. We have traversed more than one hundred thousand li (distance of 500 meters) of immense water spaces and have beheld in the ocean huge waves like mountains rising sky-high, and we have set eyes on barbarian regions far away hidden in a blue transparency of light vapours, while our sails loftily unfurled like clouds day and night continued their course (rapid like that) of a star, traversing those savage waves as if we were treading a public thoroughfare. Truly this was due to the majesty and the good fortune of the Court and moreover we owe it to the protecting virtue of the divine Celestial Spouse.
The power of the goddess having indeed been manifested in previous times has been abundantly revealed in the present generation. When we arrived in the distant countries we captured alive those of the native kings who were not respectful and exterminated those barbarian robbers who were engaged in piracy, so that consequently the sea route was cleansed and pacified (to make someone or something peaceful) and the natives put their trust in it. All this is due to the favours of the goddess.
We have respectfully received an Imperial commemorative composition (essay/piece of writing) exalting the miraculous favours, which is the highest recompense and.

Time and Memory in Two Portal Fantasies: An Analysis of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and "Windeye"
Life is a collection of moments, and some memories last forever. Brian Evenson
demonstrated this in “Windeye,”a story of a man who faces mental challenges because of the
life-long memory of his sister. In spite of the fact that his mother insists that the sister did not
exist, the protagonist stuck to this belief until his old age. The basis of the protagonist’s
problems is the intense love and unforgettable memories he shared with his imagined sister.
A great portion of his childhood memories is centered around his sister and their exploration
of the windeye. Windeye, the corruption of the word window, is a portal that causes the
disappearance of the protagonist’s sister. The popular portal fantasy, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, illustrates a similar story in the same sub-genre where a girl travels through a
rabbit hole and experiences a fantasy world which chronicles her changes from naive child-
like responses to more adult-like problem solving reactions. In “Windeye,” Brian Evenson
utilizes the portal trope to develop conflict and outcomes while exploring the themes of time
and memory. In both stories, the use of the portal trope creates a distinct world that is
separate from reality; however, the outcomes are different, and ultimately, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland presents the theme of growth while “Windeye” explores time and memories.
The use of time factors allows the reader to travel back to the origin of the story in “Windeye” and experience the beginning of the central conflict. It is in his past that the
protagonist develops strong childhood memories of a sister, which is the cause of his future
mental challenges. In the present, the narrator is old and rickety as he uses a cane to walk but
is still reminiscent of the past (Evenson). He holds firm to the belief that he might have a
chance of meeting his sister again and thus contemplates the future and the sister’s
appearance. The plot of “Windeye” is composed of distinctive life moments: the past, the
present, and the future, which offer a clear and complete description of the events. The theme
Zhou 2
of time allows the reader to understand why the protagonist profoundly feels that his sister exists. In essence, it is time travel that gives the story a picture of the events that lead to the current situation.
The portal fantasy is a fictional literary device where a character enters into a
fantastical world through a portal or a hole. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll
uses a rabbit hole as a physical portal to move through time. Comparably, Evenson utilizes
the windeye, a window that can only be seen from one side, as a physical portal. When the
sister touches the windeye, her brother believes that she enters into another reality through
the portal as Alice does. In contrast, the protagonist also experiences a new reality as he is.

Comparing Gas-Powered Cars and Electric Cars
Electric cars have become increasingly popular in the past century. These cars use
electric motors instead of conventional gasoline engines. Electric cars pollute less and utilize
energy more efficiently than gas-powered vehicles; therefore, modern research is focusing on
improving electric vehicles, such as increasing the storage capacity of the batteries. This essay
seeks to identify the differences and similarities between the two types of cars focusing on their
performance, price, and convenience.
An electric car is a car that is primarily powered by electricity. The conventional gas-
powered cars require diesel or gasoline to power the engines. These cars have gas tanks that store
fuel and the engine converts the gas to the energy that powers the motor. Similarly, electric cars
have batteries, or fuel cells that store and convert electricity to energy used to propel electric
motors (What Are Electric Cars?). Four components present in electric cars distinguish it from
the gas-powered cars (Alternative Fuels Data Center: How Do All-Electric Cars Work?). The
first is the charge port. Since electricity powers an electric car, there has to be a port to connect
to an external power source when charging the battery. The second is an electric traction motor
that propels the vehicle. The third is a traction battery pack. This battery serves the same purpose
as the gas tank; thus, it stocks electric power to propel the motor. The forth is a direct current
converter. This component converts the current to low voltage power that is needed to power the
electric engine.

No, you cannot 'announce' what your essay will do. And this is NOT the thesis I approved. What I approved:"Both gas-powered cars and electric cars are now in use, but their price, performance and convenience may vary, which may influence people's decisions about which type to use."
Zhang 2
Differences between gas-powered cars and electric cars
The initial purchase price of an electric car is much higher than that of a gas-powered car.
Consumers intending to own a vehicle have the option of buying or leasing. The initial cost of a
car depends on an individual's disposable income and savings. Knez et al. noted that "When it
comes to financial features, the most important thing seems to be the total price of the vehicle"
(55). The difference in price between electr.

Reputation by Taylor Swift
After Taylor Swift fell into disrepute, she was truly reborn. As a creative singer
who reveals a lot of real life emotions and details in her works, she constantly refines
and shares her emotional connection with her audience. In her new album, people find
resonance in her work, connect it with their own lives. "Reputation" is not only the
original efforts of Taylor Swift, but also means that she turned gorgeously and
dominated. This album is like a swearing word from her to the world. Revenge fantasy,
sweet love, painful growth... all the good and bad things that happened in these stages
of life, her music seems to have gone through with us all over again.
But last August, the now 28-year-old singer declared that "the old Taylor is
dead" in her eerie single "Look What You Made Me Do," the beginning of a new era for
Swift (Weatherby). The disclosure of the society, the accusations of rumor makers,
these straight-forward lyrics shred the ugly face of those unscrupulous people. Taylor
Swift did not endure the rumors in the society, but created this rock album after the
silence. If 1989 is still what Taylor hopes to gain the understanding of the public, this
album is really a matter of opening up the past concerns, saying goodbye to the past
as well as being a true Taylor Swift. No longer caring about the so-called "reputation ",
preferring to be burned to death by those ridiculous "images." This air of newfound
jadedness is one of the many ways in which Swift broadcasts her long-overdue loss of
Zhang �2
innocence on “Reputation,” an album that captures the singer during the most
turbulent but commercially successful period of her career. (Primeau)
The cover is black and white, the picture is Taylor's head, and the side is the
newspaper's article and title words. The cover of the album may be a metaphor, it
reveals that Taylor can no longer stand the report of the gossip media, and the chain on
the neck represents depression and breathlessness. The theme and style of the album
are all refined from their own lives. The emotions and themes interpreted in her songs
make the audience feel more deeply that her album is her life. Without even using any
real words, fans can surmise what this means — a reference to the endless headlines
and stories the singer has spurred in recent years. (Primeau) Reputation, come to diss
the past and all opponents.
The lyrics and MV are full of real stalks in Taylor Swift's life , with Taylor's
resentment for circles and industry since his debut. In the era of streaming singles, she
is the rare young star who still worships at the altar of the album, an old-fashioned
instinct that serves her surprisingly well. (Battan) "Look What You Made Me Do" is a
counterattack against Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and numerous
online "black mold". And .

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.
Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.
Post
a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

ZACHARY SHEMTOB AND DAVID LAT
Zachary Shemtob, formerly editor in chief of the Georgetown Law Review, is a clerk in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. David Lat is a former federal prosecutor. Their essay originally appeared in the New York Times in 2011.
Executions Should Be Televised
Earlier this month, Georgia conducted its third execution this year. This would have passed relatively unnoticed if not for a controversy surrounding its videotaping. Lawyers for the condemned inmate, Andrew Grant DeYoung, had persuaded a judge to allow the recording of his last moments as part of an effort to obtain evidence on whether lethal injection caused unnecessary suffering.
Though he argued for videotaping, one of Mr. DeYoung’s defense lawyers, Brian Kammer, spoke out against releasing the footage to the public. “It’s a horrible thing that Andrew DeYoung had to go through,” Mr. Kammer said, “and it’s not for the public to see that.”
We respectfully disagree. Executions in the United States ought to be made public.
Right now, executions are generally open only to the press and a few select witnesses. For the rest of us, the vague contours are provided in the morning paper. Yet a functioning democracy demands maximum accountability and transparency. As long as executions remain behind closed doors, those are impossible. The people should have the right to see what is being done in their name and with their tax dollars.
This is particularly relevant given the current debate on whether specific methods of lethal injection constitute cruel and unusual punishment and therefore violate the Constitution.
There is a dramatic difference between reading or hearing of such an event and observing it through image and sound. (This is obvious to those who saw the footage of Saddam Hussein’s hanging in 2006 or the death of Neda Agha-Soltan during the protests in Iran in 2009.) We are not calling for opening executions completely to the public — conducting them before a live crowd — but rather for broadcasting them live or recording them for future release, on the web or TV.
When another Georgia inmate, Roy Blankenship, was executed in June, the prisoner jerked his head, grimaced, gasped, and lurched, according to a medical expert’s affidavit. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Mr. DeYoung, executed in the same manner, “showed no violent signs in death.” Voters should not have to rely on media accounts to understand what takes place when a man is put to death.
Cameras record legislative sessions and presidential debates, and courtrooms are allowing greater television access. When he was an Illinois state senator, President Obama successfully pressed for the videotaping of homicide interrogations and confessions. The most serious penalty of all surely demands equal if not greater scrutiny.
Opponents of our proposal offer many objections. State lawyers argued that making Mr. DeYoung’s execution public raised safety concerns..

Reflective Essay
Becoming a good writer is a challenging and continuous process that need to constantly improving your writing skills in different area as same as constructive reflection for identification of both progress and directions for further development. My writing competence has improved significantly during the ten weeks of English 3001 Writing Proficiency course in such areas as grammar, use of verb tenses, and content quality.
The most serious problems I faced in writing process previously were grammar issues and poor content of the essays. To be more precise, I used to lack empirical competence in proper use of verb tenses. My confusions of tense forms destroyed all the sense of the essay, and often improper sentence structure made the result of the writing process insufficient to meet the University Writing Skills Requirements. Initially, when I tried to improve my skills in the given area, I only paid attention to the highlighted mistakes and comments of the tutor. Nonetheless, I realized it was not enough. Therefore, I changed this strategy to a more constructive one. To be more precise, I started reading more books in English and wrote essays diverse topics apart from the course tasks. It was an effective type of training since in several weeks my essays revealed particular progress which I took into consideration and continued.
I realize that it does not suffice to finally meet the University Writing Skills Requirements since this is only a fraction of real competence in writing. The next step of self-improvement the given sphere is editing that also has numerous issues and challenges to be dealt with. It means that there are two domains within the notion of writing competence, and both of them have no limits and require constant self-improvement. Therefore, my goal to meet academic requirements is only one more step in the course of acquisition of linguistic competence and capacity to master English in terms of writing essays and academic papers.
Moreover, I know that currently I need to focus more on content issues, persuasive capacity and proper use of diverse materials employed to support evidence which are crucial elements of writing papers per University requirements. On the other hand, I see that all the core problems with linguistic competence which I have faced earlier, are solved, which means that I need to focus on further self-improvement and keep constructive work in order to achieve my next targets in the field of concern. Furthermore, I have considerable progress in such important dimensions of academic paper construction as thesis development, use of testimony and personal observations, and alignment of different ideas into a coherent, justified and credible academic entity. Now I do not permit run-ons, excessive use of articles or comma splices to emerge in my works. It means that flaws of basic and medium level are dealt with, and further self-de.

For the sake of seeing You, how

Similar wanderers wiped away

Your sign has still not reached

You are not, yet You are
everywhere
You are a baffling puzzle

Are you constantly thinking about how to
create value and build new businesses, or how
to improve or transform your organization?
yes _______ no _______
Are you trying to find innovative
33. ways of doing business to replace

yes _______ no _______
bmgen_final.indd 2 6/15/10 5:31 PM
If you’ve answered
“yes” to any of these
questions, welcome
to our group!
You’re holding a handbook for visionaries, game
changers, and challengers striving to defy outmoded
business models and design tomorrow’s enterprises.
It’s a book for the business model generation.
bmgen_final.indd 3 6/15/10 5:31 PM
Today countless innovative business models
are emerging. Entirely new industries are
forming as old ones crumble. Upstarts are
challenging the old guard, some of whom are
struggling feverishly to reinvent themselves.
How do you imagine your organization’s
business model might look two, five, or ten
years from now? Will you be among the
dominant players? Will you face competitors
brandishing formidable new business models?
bmgen_final.indd 4 6/15/10 5:31 PM
34. This book will give you deep insight into the nature of business
models.
It describes traditional and bleeding-edge models and their
dynamics,
innovation techniques, how to position your model within an
intensely
competitive landscape, and how to lead the redesign of your
own organi-
zation’s business model.
Certainly you’ve noticed that this is not the typical strategy or
man-
agement book. We designed it to convey the essentials of what
you need
to know, quickly, simply, and in a visual format. Examples are
presented
pictorially and the content is complemented with exercises and
workshop
scenarios you can use immediately. Rather than writing a
conventional
book about business model innovation, we’ve tried to design a
practical
guide for visionaries, game changers, and challengers eager to
design or
35. reinvent business models. We’ve also worked hard to create a
beautiful
book to enhance the pleasure of your “consumption.” We hope
you enjoy
using it as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.
An online community complements this book (and was integral
to
its creation, as you will discover later). Since business model
innovation
is a rapidly evolving field, you may want to go beyond the
essentials in
Business Model Generation and discover new tools online.
Please consider
joining our worldwide community of business practitioners and
research-
ers who have co-created this book. On the Hub you can
participate in
discussions about business models, learn from others’ insights,
and try
out new tools provided by the authors. Visit the Business Model
Hub at
www.BusinessModelGeneration.com/hub.
Business model innovation is hardly new. When the founders of
Diners
36. Club introduced the credit card in 1950, they were practicing
business
model innovation. The same goes for Xerox, when it introduced
photo-
copier leasing and the per-copy payment system in 1959. In
fact, we might
trace business model innovation all the way back to the
fifteenth century,
when Johannes Gutenberg sought applications for the
mechanical printing
device he had invented.
But the scale and speed at which innovative business models
are
transforming industry landscapes today is unprecedented. For
entre-
preneurs, executives, consultants, and academics, it is high time
to
understand the impact of this extraordinary evolution. Now is
the time
to understand and to methodically address the challenge of
business
model innovation.
Ultimately, business model innovation is about creating value,
37. for
companies, customers, and society. It is about replacing
outdated models.
With its iPod digital media player and iTunes.com online store,
Apple
created an innovative new business model that transformed the
company
into the dominant force in online music. Skype brought us dirt-
cheap
global calling rates and free Skype-to-Skype calls with an
innovative
business model built on so-called peer-to-peer technology. It is
now the
world’s largest carrier of international voice traffic. Zipcar
frees city dwell-
ers from automobile ownership by offering hourly or daily on-
demand
car rentals under a fee-based membership system. It’s a
business model
response to emerging user needs and pressing environmental
concerns.
Grameen Bank is helping alleviate poverty through an
innovative business
model that popularized microlending to the poor.
38. But how can we systematically invent, design, and implement
these powerful new business models? How can we question,
challenge,
and transform old, outmoded ones? How can we turn visionary
ideas
into game-changing business models that challenge the
establishment—or
rejuvenate it if we ourselves are the incumbents? Business
Model Generation
aims to give you the answers.
Since practicing is better than preaching, we adopted a new
model
for writing this book. Four hundred and seventy members of the
Business
Model Innovation Hub contributed cases, examples, and critical
com-
ments to the manuscript—and we took their feedback to heart.

Generation.

39. Seven Faces of
Business Model
Innovation
The Senior Executive
Jean-Pierre Cuoni,
Chairman / EFG International
Focus: Establish a new business model
in an old industry
Jean-Pierre Cuoni is chairman of
EFG International, a private bank
with what may be the industry’s most
innovative business model. With
EFG he is profoundly transforming
the traditional relationships between
bank, clients, and client relationship
managers. Envisioning, crafting, and
executing an innovative business
model in a conservative industry with
established players is an art, and
40. one that has placed EFG International
among the fastest growing banks
in its sector.
The Intrapreneur
Dagfi nn Myhre,
Head of R&I Business Models / Telenor
Focus: Help exploit the latest techno-
logical developments with the right
business models
Dagfi nn leads a business model unit
at Telenor, one of the world’s ten larg-
est mobile telephone operators. The
telecom sector demands continuous
innovation, and Dagfi nn’s initiatives
help Telenor identify and understand
sustainable models that exploit the
potential of the latest technological
developments. Through deep analysis
41. of key industry trends, and by develop-
ing and using leading-edge analytical
tools, Dagfi nn’s team explores new
business concepts and opportunities.
The Entrepreneur
Mariëlle Sijgers,
Entrepreneur / CDEF Holding BV
Focus: Address unsatisfi ed customer
needs and build new business models
around them
Marielle Sijgers is a full-fl edged
entrepreneur. Together with her
business partner, Ronald van den
Hoff, she’s shaking up the meeting,
congress, and hospitality industry
with innovative business models.
Led by unsatisfi ed customer needs,
the pair has invented new concepts
42. such as Seats2meet.com, which allows
on-the-fl y booking of meetings in
untraditional locations. Together,
Sijgers and van den Hoff constantly
play with new business model ideas
and launch the most promising
concepts as new ventures.
bmgen_final.indd 6 6/15/10 5:31 PM
The Investor
Gert Steens, President & Investment
Analyst / Oblonski BV
Focus: Invest in companies with the
most competitive business models
Gert makes a living by identifying the
best business models. Investing in the
wrong company with the wrong model
could cost his clients millions of euros
43. and him his reputation. Understanding
new and innovative business models
has become a crucial part of his work.
He goes far beyond the usual fi nancial
analytics and compares business
models to spot strategic differences
that may impart a competitive edge.
Gert is constantly seeking business
model innovations.
The Consultant
Bas van Oosterhout, Senior
Consultant / Capgemini Consulting
Focus: Help clients question their
business models, and envision and
build new ones
Bas is part of Capgemini’s Business
Innovation Team. Together with
his clients, he is passionate about
44. boosting performance and renewing
competitiveness through innovation.
Business Model Innovation is now a
core component of his work because
of its high relevance to client projects.
His aim is to inspire and assist clients
with new business models, from
ideation to implementation. To achieve
this, Bas draws on his understanding
of the most powerful business models,
regardless of industry.
The Designer
Trish Papadakos,
Sole Proprietor / The Institute of You
Focus: Find the right business model
to launch an innovative product
Trish is a talented young designer
who is particularly skilled at grasp-
45. ing an idea’s essence and weaving it
into client communications. Currently
she’s working on one of her own ideas,
a service that helps people who are
transitioning between careers. After
weeks of in-depth research, she’s now
tackling the design. Trish knows she’ll
have to fi gure out the right business
model to bring her service to market.
She understands the client-facing
part—that’s what she works on daily
as a designer. But, since she lacks for-
mal business education, she needs the
vocabulary and tools to take on the
big picture.
The Conscientious Entrepreneur
Iqbal Quadir, Social Entrepreneur /
Founder of Grameen Phone
46. Focus: Bring about positive social and
economic change through innovative
business models
Iqbal is constantly on the lookout
for innovative business models with
the potential for profound social
impact. His transformative model
brought telephone service to over
100 million Bangladeshis, utilizing
Grameen Bank’s microcredit network.
He is now searching for a new model
for bringing affordable electricity to the
poor. As the head of MIT’s Legatum
Center, he promotes technological
empowerment through innovative
businesses as a path to economic and
social development.

A business model describes
the rationale of how an

The starting point for any good discussion, meeting,
or workshop on business model innovation should
be a shared understanding of what a business model
actually is. We need a business model concept that
everybody understands: one that facilitates descrip-
tion and discussion. We need to start from the same
52. point and talk about the same thing. The challenge is
that the concept must be simple, relevant, and intui-
tively understandable, while not oversimplifying the
complexities of how enterprises function.
In the following pages we oΩer a concept that allows
you to describe and think through the business model
of your organization, your competitors, or any other
enterprise. This concept has been applied and tested
around the world and is already used in organizations
such as IBM, Ericsson, Deloitte, the Public Works and
Government Services of Canada, and many more.
This concept can become a shared language that
allows you to easily describe and manipulate business
models to create new strategic alternatives. Without
such a shared language it is diΩicult to systematically
challenge assumptions about one’s business model
and innovate successfully.
We believe a business model can best be described
53. through nine basic building blocks that show the
logic of how a company intends to make money. The
nine blocks cover the four main areas of a business:
customers, oΩer, infrastructure, and financial viability.
The business model is like a blueprint for a strategy
to be implemented through organizational structures,
processes, and systems.

The Customer Segments Building Block defi nes
the diΩerent groups of people or organizations an
enterprise aims to reach and serve
Customers comprise the heart of any business model. Without
(profi table) customers, no company can survive for long. In
order
to better satisfy customers, a company may group them into
distinct segments with common needs, common behaviors,
57. or other attributes. A business model may defi ne one or several
large or small Customer Segments. An organization must make
a conscious decision about which segments to serve and which
segments to ignore. Once this decision is made, a business
model
can be carefully designed around a strong understanding of
specifi c customer needs.
Customer groups represent separate segments if:
• Their needs require and justify a distinct oΩer
• They are reached through diΩerent Distribution Channels
• They require diΩerent types of relationships
• They have substantially diΩerent profi tabilities
• They are willing to pay for diΩerent aspects of the oΩer

There are diΩerent types of Customer Segments.
Here are some examples:
Mass market
Business models focused on mass markets don’t
distinguish between diΩerent Customer Segments.

Customer Relationships all focus on one large group
of customers with broadly similar needs and problems.
This type of business model is often …
