Abstract

In recent years, business models have emerged as a focal point for enterprise development; for example, the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) has proposed a series of listing criteria for high-tech companies that includes a new business model. Venture capitalists evaluate a company in terms of its market space, business model, and management. In this context, business models play a leading role. According to research by the American Management Association, enterprises across the globe allocate less than 10 % of their total budgets to develop new business models. In contrast, 60 % of the successful innovations of American enterprises are business model innovations.
