Business Model Canvas Analysis
Business Model Canvas analysis describes and evaluates how a firm creates, delivers, and captures value using nine interlocking building blocks arranged on a single visual canvas. Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur popularized the tool in their 2010 book Business Model Generation, building on the business-model ontology Osterwalder, Pigneur, and Tucci had set out in 2005 to clarify a concept that had been used loosely. The nine blocks — customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structure — cover the customer-facing front stage, the operational back stage, and the financial bottom line. Analyzing them together lets strategists see a business model as a coherent system, diagnose weaknesses, and design alternatives.
