E-Business ( Chapter 14 )

E-BUSINESS MODELS


A Business model is a plan that details how a company creates, delivers, and generates revenue. Some models are quite simple : A company produces a good or services and sell it to customer. If the company is successful, sales exceed costs and the company generates a profit. Other models are less straightforward, and sometimes it's not immediately clear who makes money and how much. Radio and network television are broadcast free to anyone with a receiver, for instance advertisers pay the costs of programming.
