Prof. John T Delaney on Business Model Innovation

April 2009 - By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

A business model is a general framework that depicts how an organization creates value and generates resources. Because a business model is a general concept, it may have many components. Managers and leaders must identify and optimize the components of the model relevant to their organization. And note that this point reflects back to my view on the need to ask constantly “what business are we in?” for the business model changes if the business changes.
—Prof. John T Delaney
