BUSINESS MODELS MODULE

LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE MODULE
Since legal aspects of opening a business differ from country to country, we will
focus on the CONTENT of the business models not on the legal aspects
To show students that business runs on three principles: FAIRNESS – VALUE FOR
MONEY – CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT the rest if formality
To evoke students to begin and see business as a process of TRANSFORMING A
POTENTIAL INTO VALUE AND CONSEQUENTLY INTO MONEY
To show students that potential lies in your product and IN THE PEOPLE YOU ARE
SELLING TO
PRINCIPLES – THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX
The only way to discover
someting new, something that
can change the world is to think
without
restraints,
that
everybody else have. You must
think without the superficial
borders
set
by
your
surroundings.

had...so I had nothing else to do I
had to prepare a dish anyway...

household in the USA...for the
beginning

...never forget that the fact that
never, never is the purpose of a
business to produce picture perfect
products and services, everybody
and everything has flaws. The sole
purpose of a business is to make
people happy...

PRINCIPLES – TAKING THE RIGHT STEPS AT THE RIGHT TIME
Students will understand the importance of the capacity (and competence) to
discovery potential in the environment and in the people for doing business
They will be presented with tasks which will test their ability to put into practice
their capacity to observe, identify, shape and create value for customers on a study
case following the mentioned principles of business and guidelines (see previous
slide)
By analysing a concrete business case (an inovative, cross sectoral / cultural),
students will be tested for their ability to recognise key sucess factors of the
business
By participating in a simple managerial game students will be put to the test on
their competence of “outside of the box” thinking and at the same time the
importance of complex environment perception will be clearly presented
