		Business model is a term that emerged rather recently in the business vernacular and is sometimes disparaged because it has often been used in a fast and loose manner.
		Whereas business strategy is primarily about the overall positioning of a business within the business ecosystem, the term "business model" also includes key structural and operational characteristics of a business.
		We intentionally choose to describe the business model's environment this way, as an ecosystem implies an adaptive environment, and one that is home to not only competitors, but also to customers, suppliers, and the often overlooked complementors.

	Enterprise Systems \| Using Bricks to Build Clicks
		It seems pretty obvious where the business model failed—Webvan, like lots of e-tailers last year, became, shall we say, irrationally exuberant about how quickly people would adapt to a new way of buying stuff—and believed customers would agree to pay more for products in the process.
		Thus, a brick business and a click business feed each other, without the huge outlays of cash and massive warehouses, advertising costs, and so forth that the Webvan model demanded.
		Instead of the overblown idea that Webvan and Peapod and their ilk offered, this is the business model I believe we'll see in the future in lots of vertical markets-smart partnerships that take advantage of existing retailers and the specialized expertise of online companies.
