A business model describes the foundation of how an organization creates, delivers, and
captures value.
Why does a business exist?
- To satisfy the customer is the mission and purpose of every business.
- Businesses exist since it is neither effective nor efficient for customers to do
everything themselves.
- Core reason: Delivering value to customers.
Non Profit business
- They do something which someone deems valuable and thus are willing to provide
money for them to provide that value.
, Value Proposition
What a customer perceives as valuable depends on the situation.
Value can be delivered as a product or a service or both.
Value proposition can change over time.
Value differs from individual to individual.
How to communicate value proposition to current and potential customers:
- Value proposition described from 3 different prospective:
- All benefits
o Require no knowledge of customer, only product.
o Risk of stating benefits not beneficial to customers.
- Favourable points of difference
o Require no knowledge of customer, only competitors’ products.
o Risk of presuming value, to be of little or no importance to customers.
- Resonating focus
o Answers customers question:
What is most worthwhile for our company to keep in mind about the
offering?
o Requires knowledge of your own and competitors offerings and an
understanding of customer’s perspective of value.

- Increased performance.
- Customization.
- Getting the job done.
- Design.
- Brand status.
- Price
- Cost reduction.
- Risk reduction.
