Business modelling edit

The OMG (2011) acknowledged:

A business model describes how an organization creates, captures, delivers, receives and consumes value from the perspective of primary stakeholders. Peter Lindgren defines seven building blocks of a business model: value proposition, user and consumer, value chain, competencies, network, relations and value formula, Lindgren (2011). [4]

Lindgren depicted these dimensions into a so-called "Business Model Cube".
