2 Quick Def: Ecosystem It is all the steps required to get a product to market. – From manufacturing to warehouse to retail to the customer to installation and training Example: Apple has spawned an entire ecosystem that supports the iPhone – Retailers, apps, accessories

3 A Business Model explains how you make money on a solution Each piece of the ecosystem has costs/revenues—which are yours?

4 Five main areas of a Business Model Admin Content Creation/Design Content/Service Distribution Physical Creation End Customer Sales & Support

5 All five get done—you don’t have to do all five! It’s called a “make/buy” decision; you can do it yourself or outsource it to someone “Fully integrated” doing all five steps yourself “Boutique” doing just one step Search: Lay out the make buy at each step and change one at a time—it should lead to 20 different business models

6 Decisions to make in a Business Model Produce, License or outsource? Bundle or stand-alone? – Sell directly to end customers or to Goodyear? Sell directly or to retailers (or even wholesalers) On-line, Bricks and Mortar? Can we outsource the admin of the company?
