DRAWAY (卓为) Business Models Learning Objectives Compare and contrast common business models when applied to a business. Evaluate intra/entrepreneurial business processes and models. What is a Business Model? A business model is an "abstract representation of an organization, be it conceptual, textual, and/or graphical, of all core interrelated architectural, co-operational, and financial arrangements designed and developed by an organization presently and in the future, as well as all core products and/or services the organization offers, or will offer, based on these arrangements that are needed to achieve its strategic goals and objectives. 4V Business Model Framework Value Proposition Description of the products/services an organization offers. Value Architecture Portrays the concept as a holistic structural design of an organization, including its technological architecture, organizational infrastructure, and their configurations.

The weaknesses lie in its low gross profit margin and lack of continuity. So we’ve been thinking about developing our own products.

Because it’s not a route from 1 to 100, it’s not as clear a model as that in conventional fields, to open one store after another. You have to keep trying until settling on a proper direction and model and then increasing investment
