“…Initially propositions were very simple. In the next (third) phase, authors went one level down in detail and started preparing detailed descriptions of the components of business models (Afuah and Tucci 2003;Alt and Zimmerman 2001;Hamel 2000;Weill and Vitale 2001). In the fourth phase researchers started modelling the individual components which ultimately led to the suggestion of business model metamodels in the form of reference models and theory (Gordijn and Akkermans 2001;Osterwalder et al 2005).…”

This paper presents a study of the characteristics of viable business models in the field of Mobile Commerce (m-commerce). Mobility has given new dimensions to the way commerce works. All over the world various stakeholder organisations are consistently probing into the areas where m-commerce can be exploited and can generate revenue or value for them, even though some of those implementations are making the business environment more complex and uncertain. This paper proposes a viable business model evaluation framework, based on the VISOR model, which helps in determining the sustainability capabilities of a business model. Four individual cases were conducted with diverse organisations in the Information Technology sector. The four cases discussed dealt with mobile business models and the primary data was collected via semi structured interviews, supplemented by an extensive range of secondary data. A cross-case comparative data analysis was used to review the patterns of different viable business components across the four cases and, finally, the findings and conclusions of the study are presented.

“…Among many e-business model components suggested by researchers, both business process and customer value have been continuously emphasized, and are thus central to e-business model variants. (Afuah & Tucci, 2001;Alt & Zimmermann, 2001;Slywotzky, 1996).…”

s u m m a r y Background: As a useful tool, business model holds the promises to make operations explicitly in terms of what services and benefits the consumer may receive, the ways services may be provided, and what financial benefits the operations may yield. Previous researchers have used business models to examine components of operations for telemedicine in the United States. There exists an omission in the literature concerning its commercial potential consideration. The purpose of this study is to apply business model perspective to generate a framework to analyze six major telemedicine projects in Taiwan. Methods: This study used a business-model perspective and applied case study to examine six major telemedicine projects launched in a commercial operation. These cases encompassed the three major types of players, including hospitals, security firms, and not-for-profit organizations and represented the four models of long-term care service delivers, including home care, community-based care, institutional care, and mobile security care. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the managers or principal executers of each project. Results: The finding of this study indicate that value proposition, partnership, resource, and capability affect service process and cost structures. This in turn has an impact on customers' acceptance of telemedicine.Conclusions: The framework we proposed serves as a useful tool to obtain more insights into the future development of telemedicine. The cost of operating a telemedicine service system is currently not low. The practitioner could reduce the cost through modifying value proposition, service process or allying with more experienced partner.
