Abstract: The business model concept is becoming increasingly popular, within traditional strategy theory, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) research, and in the emergent body of literature on e-business. However, the concept is often used relatively independently from theory, mening model components and interrelations are relatively obscure. This paper proposes an outline for a theoretical business model, as well as the theoretical underpinnings, claiming that a business model should include customers and competitors, the offering, activities and organisation, resources and factor market interactions, as well as the causal relations between these factors.
Keywords: Business model; E-business research; Information and Communication Technology; Strategy Theory
