"This book examines business model transformation through the study of electrical utilities, an industry at the center of today's efforts to combat climate change. When change comes to the business model of such a mature industry, the pattern is often recognizable. The foundational elements of the industry shift, allowing the innovation of business models by new competitors, while established firms face the threat of disruption. The utility sector, after decades of relative stability, is in the midst of such a transformation today. After providing a historical summary of the dominant business models of the utility sector, Transformation of the Electric Utility Business Model looks at the factors currently impacting the industry. Utilities and policy makers today are facing two long-term issues that will dominate their agendas in the coming decades: rebuilding utility infrastructure to enable the decarbonization of the economy, and managing the risk of catastrophic events that can leave large areas without power for extended periods. Fortunately, with proper planning, many utility investments in decarbonization will also support risk management. However, these investments are often not compatible with current utility business models, requiring creativity and new regulatory frameworks to successfully implement. This book considers the impact of these factors, and then discusses the future. This well-researched, extremely insightful book is essential reading for all those with an interest in business strategy, energy studies and sustainability"--

The purpose of this book is to explain what a business model is, what you have to do to get one, and what to do about the one you've already got. It contends that to be successful, your business model must be focused sharply on your customer. And it argues that you must think strategically about how to use your business model if you want to gain an advantage over your competitors.

This master thesis discusses the different business models that can be found in the European
banking system and examines the performance related to each business model. It focuses on a
sample of 41 significant listed banks over the period 2009 to 2016. This period was not
haphazardly chosen, we ambition to assess the European banking business models with regard
to the banking evolutions that are the consequences of the last financial crisis.
Above all, we highlight the fact that a bank’s business model refers to the set of long-term
decisions, made by the top management, underlying the strategy of a bank. We assume that
the bank’s financial statements are a good representation of those decisions.
Following a literature review of the banking business model, we have conducted our
researches in two steps.
First, respecting our conception of a bank’s business model, we run a cluster analysis method
on the basis of six financial instruments (representing the asset, liability, liquidity, income and
capital structure). Therefore, the banks sample was divided into groups (i.e. business models)
on the basis of the bank’s similarities with respect to six financial ratios.
In the second step of the study, we intend to explain the relation between bank’s business
model and bank’s performance by measuring the return on equity. The value is then
compared, by measuring the difference, to an ex-post cost of equity estimation. The
interpretation of that comparison is the excess (or lack) of return that has been generated by
the bank above (or below) what could be expected from the market data.
Finally, we attempt to draw some conclusions with regard to the performances of the same
type of business models prior to the crisis and during the crisis.

Do you manage to your business model? The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with the insights to strategically manage from a business model perspective. What does that mean? It means that managers have to first think rigorously about their value proposition, their current or future competencies, and their revenue streams and cost structure before developing, adopting, or modifying their strategies. What is the difference between a business model and a strategy? A business model is how a company operates and a strategy is how a company competes. When the basis of competition changes because a new model disrupts the economics in the industry (e.g., publishing and book retailing) it requires an adjustment in business models before any new strategy can work. This book adds a business model level to the traditional strategic management process to be more consistent with current "real-world" practices in strategic thinking and analysis. It takes the reader deeper into the intricacies of what constitutes a business model and how current strategy is derived from it. It is based on the premise that effective strategies cannot be formulated without understanding the fundamental elements of a business model.

Ce travail présente une démarche agile visant à transformer en profondeur le modèle économique du secteur automobile au Maroc, considérée le premier secteur exportateur au pays. Actuellement, l'industrie marocaine se concentre principalement sur l'assemblage et la production de véhicules et de composants automobiles, ce qui constitue une base solide, mais encore sous-exploitée. L'objectif de cette étude est de dépasser ce stade initial pour faire évoluer le secteur vers un modèle économique générateur de haute valeur ajoutée, tout en faisant face aux impacts économiques dans un secteur volatil.
Cette transformation repose sur l'exploitation du potentiel du secteur, en le stimulant par l'innovation à tous les niveaux. En intégrant des méthodes agiles, nous visons à créer une industrie automobile marocaine non seulement compétitive à l'échelle mondiale, mais également capable de se positionner en tant que leader dans l'innovation et la production de solutions de mobilité avancées.
Le travail s'articule autour de plusieurs étapes clés : tout d'abord, une analyse approfondie de la situation actuelle du modèle opérationnel marocain, visant à en dégager les forces, les faiblesses, ainsi que les opportunités. Cette analyse est suivie d'un benchmark international qui compare le modèle marocain à ceux des pays leaders dans l'industrie automobile. De plus, un benchmark interne entre les secteurs au Maroc, prenant l'exemple de l'industrie du phosphate, considérée comme une réussite, est également réalisé afin d'identifier les meilleures pratiques et les leviers d'amélioration.
Enfin, l’étude propose l’adoption des méthodes d’innovation et de la démarche Lean Startup pour répondre aux besoins changeants du secteur selon les différents contextes internationaux, permettant ainsi à l'industrie automobile marocaine de se repositionner et de créer des produits à forte valeur ajoutée. Plusieurs Business Model Canevas ont été proposés, avec des itérations et des adaptations selon les contextes rencontrés, générant une multitude d’hypothèses possibles, afin d'explorer les différentes possibilités qui pourraient impacter le secteur.
L’objectif final est de bâtir une base industrielle marocaine capable a compétir sur la scène internationale, en capitalisant sur l'innovation pour devenir un moteur de croissance économique.
