Business Model vs. System Model: eCommerce
In yesterday’s post I talked about the difference between business models and system models: http://goo.gl/CMMPi To make a long story short, business models talk directly about real-world things (as business people do); systems models talk about surrogates for real-world things (as system designers do). Not the same thing! Some people argue that the separation between business model and system model blurs in eCommerce. Does it? No. If business leads see or define ePersons (for example) as real-world, then real-world they are. To ensure you have a winning business solution, the ePersons should be defined and shaped within a business model. Afterwards comes design of a computationally-competent system model so you can conduct actual business with those ePersons.Tags: business model, business model vs system model, eCommerce, system model
