Business model author list [Pateli 2002, Osterwalder 2004] BM definitions • Osterwalder 2004 suggested the following working definition of the business model: A business model is a conceptual tool that contains a set of elements and their relationships and allows expressing a company's logic of earning money. It is a description of the value a company offers to one or several segments of customers and the architecture of the firm and its network of partners for creating, marketing and delivering this value and relationship capital, in order to generate profitable and sustainable revenue streams. • Based on the folloowing BM Definitions Timmers 1998, Tapscot, Ticoll, Lowy 1998 2000, Linder and Cantrell 2000, Weil and Witale 2001, Rappa 2001, Hawkins 2001, Amit and Zott 2001, Applegate 2001, Petrovic et al. 2001, Osterwalder and Pigneur 2001, Magretta 2002, Elliot 2002 Figure 10.
