Business Model Formation within the Online News Market: The Core + Complement Business Model Framework |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The business model literature is both rich and rapidly-growing. Authors identify special- purpose business and eBusiness models - and, increasingly, develop taxonomies of business models types. But, in searching for a comparatively simple way to understand the components of a "typical" internet business model, as part of our work for the EC research project SimWeb, we found that these taxonomies had little overlap and offered only a modest assistance to smaller companies trying to identify their own business identity. In this paper, therefore, we present the preliminary results of a three-year research project into appropriate business models for the online news and music industries. Having identified the problems, we describe the general taxonomies and components of Internet business models found in the literature, and explain our own core + component framework for developing an internet business model - using the online news industry as our example. We show how a combination of core and complementary components can be combined by any news-providing organisation for its Internet business model on the basis to its specific needs, resources and changing circumstances - and illustrate the usefulness of our this framework by means of "mini-case" examples of regional online newspapers in Germany. |
