Abstract

The term business model has been used in various disciplines whereby, over the course of time, different basic explanatory approaches to the concept have been developed. This thematic heterogeneity is particularly reflected in existing definitions, which in most cases merely cover subareas, such as business model components, or are very context-specific (Eriksson and Penker 2000).
