Business Modelling is not Process Modelling

Abstract.
 Innovative e-business projects start with a design of the e-business

model. We often encounter the view, in research as well as industry practice, that

an e-business model is similar to a business process model, and so can be specified

using UML activity diagrams or Petri nets. In this paper, we explain why this is a

misunderstanding. The root cause is that a business model is not about process but

about value exchanged between actors. Failure to make this separation of concerns

leads to poor business decision-making and inadequate business requirements.

Disney Business Model(s) Analysis

Mickey. Goofy. Donald. Mermaids. Wonderlands. Princesses. Deer. Pigs. Ogors. Ducks. With great content comes great distribution responsibility. Behind the mouse is a $45 Billion content production and distribution machine operating 5 separate business segments. Their Media Networks segment is home to the #1 channels for children 3-6, 6-11, and 8-14. The recent box office buster, Frozen, is battling the top annual spot with another Disney movie, Despicable Me 2. The company's ability to attract the talent to create the most compelling story lines and inviting characters is unparalleled. Below is a brief look at each segment's business model. Making Mickey is one ordeal, monetizing him is a whole other game. 

Costco Business Model Analysis

Keys from 10k...

We operate membership warehouses based on the concept that offering our members low prices on a limited selection of nationally branded and select private-label products in a wide range of merchandise categories will produce high sales volumes and rapid inventory turnover. 

We do not obtain a significant portion of merchandise from any one supplier.

We have two primary types of members: Business and Gold Star (individual). (My note: Executive members also) 

Net sales increased 11.5% to $97,062, driven by a 7% increase in comparable sales

We plan to open 27 to 30 net new warehouses in 2013.
