Abstract

This course is designed to familiarise students with a notion of business model as a concept and as a managerial tool which can be used for both analytical (analysis of existing business) and design (development of a new business) purposes. Marketing as a business function plays a quintessential role in both cases as strategic marketing is responsible for integration of customer, competitor, and company perspectives (market orientation) providing essential insights into business modelling process. Students will learn how to use a business model framework for a holistic analysis of any organisation with a goal to evaluate and refine existing value proposition, positioning, and go-to-market strategy. Also students will develop agency capabilities and skills required to act both as entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. Teaching methods include both lectures and practical sessions. The lectures are designed to present relevant theoretical concepts illustrated with cases. The practical sessions will be held in groups and will be focused on case studies (case method teaching approach) providing a context in which students would be able to apply the concepts and the tools covered during the lectures via group and individual work.

    - There is no rigid structure for your presentation. However, certain topics are required to be covered. - Please give an overview of the BM pattern, any history behind it’s popularity and development over time. You can mention companies or brands which pioneered the pattern and developed it to the next level. - Provide some analysis on the BM pattern — pros and cons, when to employ etc. - Illustrate the pattern with the help of examples. If possible use your own examples. Also would be great if you coould look at russian companies. Here you might want to employ the Business model canvas (BMC) to demonstrate the interdependancies within the BM blocks on the example of a specific company. Some BM patterns can be easily analysed with the help of BMC, some are more challenging to think about using that framework. So use your best judgement. - BM patterns as they are conceptualised by Gassmann et al. are essentially approaches to do business so don’t expect that you would be able to talk about all 9 blocks of BMC presenting your pattern. Some BM patterns are focused on ways how companies obtain revenue, some are about ways to design and position yourself in freames of the value chain, some are about innovative ways to define value proposition, and some offer avenues to grow the business. - The main goal for your presntation is to familiarise your groupmates with the BM pattern and prepare the materials which will be used by the group in prepartion for the exam. So please make your slides content rich or provide links to the sources.
