	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Business model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A business model (also called a business design) is the mechanism by which a business intends to generate revenue and profits.
		Generally, the business models of service firms are more complex than those of manufacturers and resellers.
		The bait and hook business model (also referred to as the razor and blades business model or the tied products model) was introduced in the early 20th century.

	Network Effects (Arun Sundararajan, part of the Industrial Organization of Information Technology Industries web site)
		While firms often see network effects where they do not exist (this was a widespread malaise during the dotcom boom), there's no denying that they play a critical role in shaping the economics of a number of technology industries.
		Network effects were first studied in the context of long-distance telephony in the early 1970's (one of the earliest papers on the topic is Rohlfs 1974).
		These new models draw actively from the 'science of networks', and a good place to start understanding this is by reading Mark Newman's remarkable survey on the structure and function of complex networks.

	The effects of the business model on object-oriented software development productivity
		Business models tend to focus on cost and calendar events (e.g., quarterly reports) and tend to form deadlines that are governed by marketing and competitive pressures, often regardless of the real software engineering capabilities of the organization.
		The business model used to guide these and other projects that we examined strongly discourages late completion of key milestones, since the final deadlines tend to be driven by market pressures.
		If the business model cannot adjust to new technology by recognizing its limitations, assessing the ability of the organization to control it, and adjusting deadlines to take advantage of its potential, it is unlikely that an investment in the technology will result in real productivity benefits.

		It is important to observe that in certain cases of the technology business model, such as Skype, network effects help drive both the adoption and value of the service.
		Of course, in any network effects business model, the idea behind Metcalfe's law comes into play - the total value of the service is roughly proportional to the square of the number of ‘customers' utilizing the service.
		Community or network content approaches apply both with MySpace, where the ‘content' is the thousands of user profiles and in the case of Gawker, where their community content is a network of blogs that attracts high volume traffic and readership.

		The goal is to determine the correlation of networking capacities with specific business goals.
		At the lowest network and systems levels, these descriptions are well-understood, but unfortunately, applications and services do not yet derive or share a description with networks or systems performance.
		The implication is that management applications can interpret the effects of slow bandwidth and high Web-server CPU utilization as correlated performance events that will affect the user's experience and abandonment thresholds.

	Are 'dumb' networks really smarter?
		So even though dumb networks may not be as reliable at the physical layer as smart networks, they are "reliable where it matters…at the application level," Isenberg said.
		Taking the side of the smart network was Tom Nolle, president of consultancy CIMI Corp., headquartered in Voorhees, N.J. He argued that the smart network model offers the greater potential for technical innovation.
		Nolle contrasted this argument by explaining the basic business model associated with dumb networks, a business model that he believes is doomed to failure.

	What is multihomed? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: multihome, multihoming, multi-homing
		For example, a computer with a Windows NT 4.0 Server and multiple IP addresses can be referred to as "multihomed" and may serve as an IP router.
		Various approaches, such as using addresses with different prefixes to force routing through different carriers, or even using redundant core networks, can be taken to reduce the effects of failures.
		This Business Communications Review article focuses on how the practice of multihoming affects the infrastructure of the Internet.

		I’ve spend better part of my career at companies that tried to leverage network effects so it’s a important field of study that interests me highly.
		For example, since content is produced once but consumed multiple times (zero or close to zero marginal cost per “sell”!), its increasing return economies of scale is much higher than that of companies which use network effects for trading non re-usable or non re-consumable “units” such as physical goods.

		It does seem clear, however, that further exploration of possible collaborative efforts between EPA and the public libraries is warranted, given the level of interest among a wide range of stakeholders that includes both librarians and potential library customers.
