B usiness models are perhaps the most discussed and least understood aspect of the web. There is so much talk about how the web changes traditional business models. But there is little clear-cut evidence of exactly what this means. In the most basic sense, a business model is the method of doing business by which a company can sustain itself -- that is, generate revenue. The business model spells-out how a company makes money by specifying where it is positioned in the value chain. Some models are quite simple.

Depuis qu’Apple a lancé son fameux App Store en juillet 2008, créant par la même occasion une nouvelle source de revenu et de différenciation pour son téléphone, c’est toute l’industrie des Smart Phone, et plus largement celles des produits technos avec une connexion Internet, qui a été bouleversé.

What is a Business Model? | Futurelab – An international marketi

A business model is nothing else than a representation of how an organization makes (or intends to make) money. This can be nicely described through the 9 building blocks illustrated in the graphic below, which we call "business model canvas". Insight: In addition to this post check out the business model design template The business model topic is very popular among business people today because in various industries we can see a proliferation of new and innovative business models (i.e. new ways of making money). In several industries new business models are threatening or even replacing established companies and conventional ways of doing business. Just have a look at the music or airline industry. http://www.futurelab.net/blogs/marketing-strategy-innovation/2008/07/what_is_a_business_model.html

Is The End Of Free Broadcast TV Fast Approaching? ~ The Blade by

A recent article states: “Good programing is expensive,” Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. owns Fox, told a shareholder meeting this fall. “It can no longer be supported solely by advertising revenues.”
http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/1803676/new_revenue_from_virtual_goods_during_ad_slump/ Web companies are banking on the idea that people are becoming increasingly interested in buying virtual products, reported Reuters. These digital bits on computers and cellphones, known as virtual goods, have become more popular in the past year as people’s lives have begun to center more around the Internet. Virtual goods are typically available for $1 or less, and range from video game accessories like extra weapons for shooting games, to electronic birthday cards and flowers for friends on Facebook or dating sites. While they have been popular in other parts of the world, especially Asia, the trend is only now catching on in the U.S.

New Revenue From Virtual Goods During Ad Slump - Technology News

According to the Times, CBS started asking for fees a few years ago. Obviously Fox demands them now too. It says the others are likely to follow. As you can probably guess, cable companies are hardly going to let these new fees hit their bottom line: they'll just charge consumers more. Indeed, Time Warner has already announced a rate increase likely related to the Fox deal. Expect those fees to increase as ABC and NBC eventually cash in.

Photograph: Anna Gordon As we head into 2010, most news organisations are battling declining revenues. However, a few online journalists are holding out against the downturn.
Stoking the debate over paid news content and the survival of newspapers , the FT Group chief executive, John Ridding, says the landmark moment vindicates the FT's strategy to charge. He has long advocated that other publishers should follow suit and abandon a "free is good" doctrine. "In some of the key areas we are at a crucial stage of transformation, so that we reckon next year will be the first year that revenues from content overtake revenues from print advertising," he says. "The way things are evolving, content revenues should overtake all advertising revenues by 2012." When the FT embarked on a strategy of charging online and raising its cover price "people thought we were a bit strange", recalls Ridding. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jan/04/ft-content-revenues

Nielsen: Consumers will pay for online content. But not all of i

The issue of charging for online content is coming to head as companies watch their advertising revenues dip and costs rise. But a new survey from Nielsen provides new hope for content providers looking to monetize in the new economy: consumers are willing to pay for content. But the value of that content differs across media and location. The survey , which polled more than 27,000 consumers in 54 countries sought to learn what people would pay for online and how much they'd be willing to spend. And despite the proliferation of user generated content online, consumers still put a premium on professionally produced media. http://econsultancy.com/blog/5190-nielsen-consumers-will-pay-for-online-content-but-not-all-of-it

What’s Your Online Content Worth? Global Consumers Say: It Depen

The big question in the new Internet decade is whether consumers will pay for content online. It turns out that millions of global consumers are, in fact, willing to pay up… but not for everything. For example, consumers are three times as likely to pay for online music than for a blog. Consumers weigh in Nielsen recently conducted a global survey of more than 27,000 consumers in 54 countries to examine attitudes about paying for online content and to determine which content types consumers were most willing to support financially.

The Collapse of Complex Business Models « Clay Shirky

I gave a talk last year to a group of TV executives gathered for an annual conference. From the Q&A after, it was clear that for them, the question wasn’t whether the internet was going to alter their business, but about the mode and tempo of that alteration. Against that background, though, they were worried about a much more practical matter: When, they asked, would online video generate enough money to cover their current costs? That kind of question comes up a lot. It’s a tough one to answer, not just because the answer is unlikely to make anybody happy, but because the premise is more important than the question itself.
