V1 + 2: The Business Model Canvas
Osterwalder, A. (2012). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GIbCg8NpBw
Blah blah blah Phenomenon = smart people using a lot of words, but not understanding each
other. → When it comes to business models: Words are not enough.
- We need a shared, visual language that allows us to sketch out business models.
An organization’s business model can be described with 9 basic building blocks → mapped
out in one pre-structured canvas to see how they all fit together → Business model Canvas:
tool that helps you map, discuss, design, and invent new business models.
On the left-hand side: On the right-hand side:
back stage that enables front stage related to
the front stage. the customer.

DEMAND SIDE
1. Customer Segments – all the people / organizations for which you are creating value.
2. Value Proposition – the bundles of products and services which create value for your customers.
3. Channels – through which touchpoints you’re interacting with customers and delivering value.
4. Customer Relationships – outline the type of relationships you’re establishing with your customers.
5. Revenue Streams – make clear how and through which pricing mechanisms your business model
is capturing value.
2
,SUPPLY SIDE
6. Key Resources – the infrastructure to create, deliver, and capture value.
o Show which assets are indispensable in our business model.
7. Key Activities – show which things you really need to be able to perform well.
8. Key Partnerships – show who can help you leverage your business model.
o You will not own all key resources/perform all key activities yourself.
9. Cost Structure – describes the costs that business occurs through its operations.
Business Model Canvas – The Basics
- You never write on a canvas.
- For every building block: use a Post-It Note.
o Mobility: “you can put it up, you can discuss, you can put it down”
o E.g., taking away one post-It: what is the impact on the rest of the model?
Example: Nespresso gets consumers to pay 600 to 800% more for home coffee.
- In a commodities business. How?
o Nespresso almost failed in 1987 due to nonperforming business model.
▪ Same product/technology: but BM did not work.
o Nespresso changed the business model for espresso.
▪ First to invent single portion coffee – machines + aluminum pods.
▪ Recurring revenues: You can buy the machines everywhere, but you can only
buy the pods from them (patents are important key resource).
• Want to switch? Need to buy a new machine: high switching cost.
▪ Very high-end brand (expensive): cannot establish this only through the
internet. → Physical stores important as well.
o Results: one of the fastest growing businesses in the Nestlé group.

, A16: Customer loyalty in e-commerce: an exploration of its antecedents and consequences.
Srinivasan, S. S., Anderson, R., & Ponnavolu, K. (2002). Journal of Retailing, 78(1), 41–50.
This paper investigates the antecedents and consequences of customer loyalty in an online business-to-consumer
(B2C) context. Eight factors (the 8Cs—customization, contact interactivity, care, community, convenience,
cultivation, choice, and character) potentially impact e-loyalty. Findings: all these factors, except convenience,
impact e-loyalty. E-loyalty has an impact on two customer-related outcomes: word-of- mouth promotion and
willingness to pay more.
Customer Loyalty: E-loyalty = a customer’s favorable attitude toward the e-retailer that
results in repeat buying behavior.
The Antecedents of E-Loyalty: 8 e-business factors that potentially positively impact e-loyalty.
1. Customization = the ability of an e-retailer to tailor products, services, and the
transactional environment to individual customers.
- Operational Definition: The extent to which an e-retailer’s web site can recognize a customer and
then tailor the choice of products, services, and shopping experience for that customer.
2. Contact Interactivity = the dynamic nature of the engagement that occurs between an e-
retailer and its customers through its website.
- OD: The availability and effectiveness of customer support tools on a website, and the degree to
which two-way communication with customers is facilitated.
3. Cultivation = the extent to which an e-retailer provides relevant information and
incentives to its customers to extend the breadth and depth of their purchases over time.
- OD: the frequency of desired information and cross-selling offers that an e-retailer provides to
customers.
4. Care = the attention that an e-retailer pays to all the pre- and post-purchase customer
interface activities designed to facilitate both immediate transactions and long-term
customer relationships.
- OD: the extent to which a customer is kept informed about the availability of preferred products
and the status of orders, and the level of efforts expended to minimize disruptions in providing
desired services.
5. Community = an online social entity comprised of existing and potential customers that is
organized and maintained by an e-retailer to facilitate the exchange of opinions and
information regarding offered products and services.
- OD: the extent to which customers are provided with the opportunity and ability to share opinions
among themselves through comment links, buying circles, and chat rooms sponsored by the e-
retailer.
