Business Model Components Map
Project participant: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Anders
鈥
The Business Model Components Map was redesigned in 2022 and is now available in version 7.2.0.
鈥
鈥
The Business Model Components Map enables a structured analysis and planning of business models. It was once again compared in detail with other existing business model representations. It was found that the Business Model Components Map is more complete than alternative models and includes relevant content components that are missing elsewhere. These include, for example, assets, liquidity, capital and environment, society, governance (ESG).

In addition to the previous elements, the element of "culture" was given greater prominence. A corporate culture does not simply arise, but can be created or influenced by the company management. Culture is important because it can be used to determine how cooperation should take place. The corporate culture that prevails in a company and the employee mentality that arises from it is a significant influencing factor of a business model. The corporate culture does not consist of established values or assertions. Rather, it is derived from the many corporate processes: What is supported, what is sanctioned, who is promoted and why, what is paid, what is incentivized? What is welcomed, what behavior is not desired? How does the company deal with unacceptable interpersonal behavior? How does the company react in difficult situations, how loyal is the company to its employees?
concept cards漏
Project participants: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Anders
The concept cards漏 format was developed at the end of 2019. The format is used to extract or further develop the essence of a concept. An overview of all concept cards漏 developed to date can be found here:
Five new concept cards漏 were created in 2022:
- concept card漏 鈥 Innovation
- concept card漏 鈥 Operations-Innovations-Matrix
- concept card漏 鈥 Objectives-Resources-Matrix
- concept card漏 鈥 Project Path Dependence
- concept card漏 鈥 Scrum
The following concept cards漏 have been updated:
- concept card漏 鈥 Feedback
- concept card漏 鈥 Leadership
- concept card漏 鈥 Motivation
- concept card漏 鈥 Organisation
- concept card漏 鈥 Organisational Design Language
- concept card漏 鈥 Organisational Efficiency
- concept card漏 鈥 Ownership
- concept card漏 鈥 Pricing
- concept card漏 鈥 Power
The concept card漏 Leadership has undergone significant further development. For the first time in the literature, a distinction has been made between the expectations of a leader, the selection criteria, the success factors and the means.
The concept card漏 Motivation has also been revised. In contrast to the literature, the goals are not extrinsic or intrinsic. Rather, extrinsic motivation exists when attempts are made to increase people's motivation by external means. Even fundamentally motivated people sometimes have to overcome motivational hurdles (so-called anti-drivers). In order to achieve this, there are a number of facilitators that make this easier.
