By the way, it has also to be mentioned that a so-called business model represents an important part of the general development of a business strategy.
Fact is that without a perfectly developed, successful and coherent business model a company or new enterprise will never have a chance to survive.

In other words: A business model tells how to bring success and profit to a business.
Concerning a general business model it can also be said that, according to Stähler, it consists of three main components: value proposition, architecture of value added and revenue model.
- value proposition: This part of a business model tells which benefit a company or business provides. Strictly speaking the benefit refers to both customers and partners of a company. We are talking about a benefit or advantage that customers and partners may derive because of their profound relationship or rather connection with the respective business.
- architecture of value added: This part of a business model describes which services and products are offered on which markets? Furthermore it can be said that the architecture of value added explains how benefits will be generated for the respective customers.
- revenue model: This part of a business model describes how the respective business or company makes profit. Strictly speaking it tells how and from which sources a business succeeds in generating revenue.
