			              Key Elements of a Business Model
Chivandi, Lecturer, Zimbabwe, Member
In my view, a business model has six key elements:

1. Growth strategies

2. Value proposition

3. Market segments

4. Value chain structure

5. Revenue model

6. Competitive strategy

Any builds / reactions?

Hi Chivande,

That list looks really good.

If you are including activities and resources in the value chain structure and costs in the revenue model then I would generally agree with your list.

Channels and relationships would fit within growth and competition too I suggest.

A business model is about building, delivering and capturing value.
