m os n i s p a bu The EMA Brief The aim of the EMA is to: allow you to analyse/critically evaluate business models and business model innovation for an organisation of your choice, and consider the portfolio of strategic capabilities that the organisation needs for business model innovation success. You should make use of your answers to Part 1 of TMA 02 and TMA 03 (and any related feedback from tutors).
EMA Part 1 Part 1 asks you to represent and describe the current situation: a.Basing your answer on your own organisation, or another that you know well, provide a critical evaluation of its existing business model(s). You should draw on your response to Part 1 of TMA 02 as a starting point, and include a description of the business model(s) as part of your answer. (25 marks) b.Comment on how well the organisations current capabilities support this (these) business model(s). (15 marks) What is a business model? A business model describes the design or architecture of the value creation, delivery and capture mechanisms employed Put differently, a business model reflects managements
hypothesis about what customers want, how they want it, and what they will pay, and how an enterprise can organise to best meet customers needs, and get paid well for doing so. (Teece, 2010, p191) What is a business model? A business model describes the design or architecture of the value creation, delivery and capture mechanisms employed Put differently, a business model reflects managements hypothesis about what customers want, how they want it, and what they will pay, and how an enterprise can organise to best meet customers needs, and get paid well for doing so. (Teece, 2010, p191) Your EMA should operate as a stand-alone report, so you will need to recap on TMA02, Part 1 and redescribe (and redraw?) the existing/current business model(s). Where does the business model fit?
Relationship between strategy, capabilities and business models (DaSilva and Trkman, 2014 cited in Horrocks and Savory, 2016a). What is the function of a business model in strategy? A business model should inform your choices about what is the right or at least a good strategy. (Chesbrough, 2010, p365 cited in Horrocks and Savory, 2016) What are the dimensions of a typical Business Model? resource structure: the static architecture of the firms organisation, production technology and core resources configured to serve customers transactive structure: the organisational configuration that supports the key transactions between the organisations and its partners and other stakeholders
value structure: the underlying system of rules, expectations and mechanisms that define how the organisation creates and captures value (George and Bock, 2011, cited in Horrocks & Savory, 2016), ) What are the key elements of a good business model? Who is the target customer? What bundle of products and/or services are of value to the customer? How are the necessary resources and capabilities orchestrated by the firm to deliver the value proposition? Why is the business model financially viable and how does the firm make money
in the business (value)? (Horrocks and Savory, 2016) Joining things up Organisational Capabilities Tangible Financial (cash, securities, borrowing capacity). Physical (plant, equipment, land, mineral reserves). Intangible Technology (patents, copyrights, trade
secrets). Reputation (brands, relationships). Culture. (Based on Grant, 2010) Capabilities can be defined as the ability to deploy resources effectively. Human Skills / know-how. Capacity for communication and collaboration. Motivation. EMA Part 2
EMA Part 2 Part 2 asks you to consider changes that should be made and how they should be made: c.What does the organisation need to do to improve its capabilities for ongoing business model innovation (i.e. for continued business model innovation more generally, beyond the particular instance discussed in a and b above)? (15 marks) Joining things up In answering Part 2a make sure that your proposal describes the changed model by drawing on relevant: Internal change factors e.g. new technological innovations in manufacturing a product e.g. use of robots or large data analytics. External change factors e.g. changing market needs or need to respond to new technologies e.g. how telecoms companies responded to technological changes such as the move to mobile, and then smartphones, over time.
Joining things up For part 2b think of Business Model Innovation as an example of a dynamic capability for innovation. It could be regarded as an example of the enterprise structures, procedures, designs and incentives for seizing opportunities. In answering Part 2b make sure discuss the new capabilities that will be required, and how the organisation will build them. (Horrocks and Savory, 2016) Joining things up In answering Part 2c note the emphasis on ongoing: Drawing on ideas in the blocks and elsewhere, how can we build capabilities for ongoing/continuous/constantly improving business model innovation. How can we get from where we are now to this future state? EMA key points Read all the guidance carefully! Note that word count penalties apply over 3,150 words.
