Business model
A business model (/ˈbɪznɪs ˈmɒdəl/) is a conceptual structure that supports the viability of a product or company and explains how the company operates, makes money, and how it intends to achieve its goals. All business models are unique to every organization and are designed according to the specific needs and structure of the organization.
Etymology
The term "business model" is derived from the words "business", which means 'a person's regular occupation, profession, or trade', and "model", which means 'a three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original'. The term was first used in the late 20th century and has been widely used since then to represent the business strategy of an organization.
