BACH - Y3 English AN - BACH Business Models
Time volume (in hour): 16 Total student workload: 32 ECTS: 3 Semester: Autumn
Module's Manager: INGHAM Marc
Pre-requisites: Strategy, introduction to corporate finance and marketing
Description:
The course focuses on the strategic alignment of the three pillars underlying business models: - value proposition (how to create "dual value"; for customers- company/stakeholders), - profit formula (how to obtain sustainable returns) - key resources and processes (how to create, combine and enhance "unique" resources and capabilities). Emphasis is put on the design of innovative business models that challenge conventional models in a given industry and/or enable to create new market spaces. There is a widespread recognition that sustainable competitive positions are deeply rooted in the firm's ability to build "unique" business models that can be protected. We will explore and critically review recent literature to identify key success factors (and obstacles) in the design and development of innovative business models in a variety of contexts and industries. We will discuss the contributions of ICTs (information and communication technologies) to the development of innovative business models; how ICTs change the existing form of business models and create altogether new ones. The application of various conceptual frameworks and analytical methods will be illustrated with case studies and participants will elaborate an innovative business model (for a new venture or an established company).
Learning objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will
- Understand and be able to explain what business models are, their central dimensions, their dynamic strategic alignment (interactions and integration), their roles and their importance to sustain long term competitive advantages in diverse companies and industries.
- Develop and demonstrate their ability to master and apply various conceptual frameworks to assess business models leading to new ventures or for established companies facing changes in their environments.
- Demonstrate their ability to systematically apply analytical tools to design a sustainable business model (for a new venture or an established company).

Learning objectives: Put into practice the methods and tools needed to develop international business markets.
Methodology: PBL Pedagogy will be based on Problem Based Learning (PBL) What Is PBL? http://edweb.sdsu.edu Student-centered; faculty-facilitated Problem-based learning is a pedagogical strategy for posing significant, contextualized, real world situations, and providing resources, guidance, and instruction to learners as they develop content knowledge and problem-solving skills (Mayo, Donnelly, Nash, & Schwartz, 1993). In problem based learning, students collaborate to study the issues of a problem as they strive to create viable solutions. Unlike traditional instruction, which is often conducted in lecture format, teaching in problem based learning normally occurs within small discussion groups of students facilitated by a faculty tutor (Aspy, Aspy, & Quimby, 1993, Bridges & Hallinger, 1991). Because the amount of direct instructon is reduced in problem based learning, students assume greater responsibility for their own learning (Bridges & Hallinger, 1991). The instructor's role becomes one of subject matter expert, resource guide, and task group consultant. This arrangement promotes group processing of information rather than an imparting of information by faculty (Vernon & Blake, 1993). The instructor's role is to encourage student participation, provide appropriate information to keep students on track, avoid negative feedback, and assume the role of fellow learner (Aspy et al., 1993). Evolution of Problem Based Learning Although the roots of problem based learning can be traced back through inquiry training, John Dewey, and apprenticeships, recent evolution of the pedagogy was pioneered at Case Western Reserve University in the early 1950s. The structure developed by this university now serves as the basis of the curriculum at many secondary, post-secondary, and graduate schools including Harvard Medical School (Savery, 1994).
