Geschäftsmodelle im Internet
Monday, February 2nd, 2009 by Michael AltendorfBei Slideshare gibt es nun eine meiner Präsentationen über Geschäftsmodelle im Internet.
Die Struktur basiert auf einer Vorlesung von Prof Michael Rappa aus den USA.
http://digitalenterprise.org/ Die Seite ist zwar sehr alt, aber es gibt dort auch sehr viele pdfs. Darunter viele Standardwerke aus dem Bereich Netzwerk Ökonomie und internet Economics.
Außerdem habe ich das Business Model Design Template von Dr Alexander Osterwalder auf eBay angewendet
Außerdem gibt es ja noch Patrick Stähler, der sich mit dem Thema beschäftigt.
Im amerikanischen Wikipedia gibt es übrigens auch eine gute Übersicht der Geschäftsmodelle. Geschäftsmodellinnovationen sind hierzulande leider noch nicht wirklich präsent. Am Beispiel Ryanair kann man aber gut sehen, wie groß der Effekt sein kann.

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 by Michael AltendorfAs I just read at information week – Google launches an own virtual world which is called “lively”
