Business model innovation is used parallel with technical development to create competitive advantage within certain line of businesses. Many business have although not yet fully embraced business model innovation as a competitive foundation and still rely on technical development of products and services. The actual concept of business models and business model innovation has many different definitions and is perceived as ambiguous. The real estate business is a traditional line of business that often rely on technical development, location of the property and rent levels primarily as the competitive factors. As other line of businesses work more with business model innovation, as the IT-business, the interest for business model innovation grows in the real estate business.The purpose with this essay is to describe and analyze business model innovation within different types of real estate companies. Furthermore it’s investigated how companies within the real estate business today defines and uses business models.The study is based on a qualitative method whereof interview studies have been performed on different types of real estate companies. Primary data consists of interviews with 11 representatives from ten different real estate businesses. The result from the interviews have passed a thematic analysis to showcase eventual patterns in the answers from the interviewees.The definition of business models amongst the real estate companies was varying but all of them approached a definition that describes how a company works or creates profitability. None of the interviewees used business model innovation in a structured manner via for example a framework. The real estate companies on firsthand used technological development when innovating and not business model innovation. / Affärsmodellsinnovation används inom vissa branscher parallellt med teknisk utveckling för att skapa konkurrensfördelar. Många branscher har dock ännu inte anammat affärsmodellsinnovation såsom konkurrensmedel och förlitar sig fortfarande på i första hand teknisk utveckling av t.ex. produkter eller tjänster. Begreppen affärsmodell och affärsmodellsinnovation har många olika definitioner och upplevs som tvetydiga. Fastighetsbranschen är en traditionell bransch som ofta förlitat sig på teknisk utveckling, läget på fastigheterna och hyresnivåer som konkurrensmedel. I takt med att andra branscher arbetarmer med affärsmodellsinnovation, såsom IT-branschen, växer intresset föraffärsmodellsinnovation i även fastighetsbranschen.Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera affärsmodells-innovation inom olika typer av fastighetsföretag. Vidare utreds hur företag i fastighetsbranschen definierar och använder sig av affärsmodeller.Studien har sin grund i den kvalitativa metodläran varav intervjustudier har utförts på olika typer av fastighetsbolag. Primärdata består av intervjuer med elva representanter från tio olika fastighetsbolag. Resultatet från intervjuerna har genomgått en tematisk analys för att synliggöra eventuella mönster i respondenternas svar.Definitionen av affärsmodeller bland fastighetsbolagen var varierande men samtliga närmade sig en definition som beskrev hur ett företag arbetar eller skapar lönsamhet. Ingen av respondenterna använde sig av affärsmodells-innovation på ett strukturerat sätt genom exempelvis ett ramverk. De undersökta fastighetsbolagen använder sig i första hand av teknisk utveckling vid innovation och inte av affärsmodellsinnovation.

As observed for the country, the city of Sorocaba also went through a real estate valuation process, which impacted in many ways different locations in the city. The formation of the price of residences, function of the cost of construction, also depends on external variables, commonly called urban amenities. Urban menities, even though they are part of the real price of residences, are not easily identified or valued by economic agents but are important, mainly for potential consumers of services since they have different perceptions of urban features that are priority. In this context, the objective of the study is to identify and quantify the impact of structural features and urban attributes in property prices in the city of Sorocaba, identifying if there is a regional distribution pattern of properties more and less valued as a result of these attributes. Additionally, this study spatializes the results by districts. The methodology used is the estimation of the values of the amenities is the hedonic pricing model. This methodology proposed by Rosen (1974), implies in practice, in the estimation of a "cost function", with property prices is the dependent variable and the amenities associated with it are independent variables. The data used were the property sales prices and structural characteristics of each property, accessibility variables (schools, hospitals, etc.) and neighborhood structure (population, income and crime). The results suggest that there are urban amenities that are considered by consumers in the formation of properties prices and that there is spatial dependence between the average real estate values in every area of influence of neighborhoods considered in the study. / Nos últimos anos o mercado imobiliário brasileiro tem enfrentado mudanças estruturais, as quais tem impactado o preço dos bens residenciais. Assim como o observado para o país, o município de Sorocaba também passou por um processo de valorização imobiliária, o qual atingiu de maneiras distintas as diferentes localidades do município. A formação do preço dos imóveis, além de ser função do custo de construção dos mesmos, também depende de variáveis externas, comumente chamadas de amenidades urbanas. As amenidades urbanas embora sejam parte da composição do preço dos imóveis não são facilmente identificadas ou valoradas pelos agentes econômicos mas são importantes principalmente para os consumidores potenciais dos serviços prestados uma vez que eles tem percepções diferentes das características urbanas que lhe são prioritárias. Neste contexto, o objetivo do estudo é identificar e quantificar o impacto das características estruturais e dos atributos urbanos nos preços dos imóveis no município de Sorocaba, identificando se existe algum padrão regional de distribuição dos imóveis mais e menos valorizados em decorrência desses atributos e , além disso, espacializando os resultados por regiões sorocabanas. A metodologia utilizada é a estimação dos valores das amenidades a partir do modelo de preços hedônicos. Essa metodologia, proposta por Rosen (1974), implica, na prática, na estimação de uma “função preço”, com os preços dos imóveis como variável dependente e as amenidades associadas a ele como variáveis independentes . Os dados utilizados foram os preços de venda dos imóveis, características estruturais de cada imóvel, variáveis de acessibilidade (escolas, hospitais, etc) e de estrutura do bairro (população, renda e crime). Os resultados sugerem que existem amenidades urbanas que são consideradas pelos consumidores na formação dos preços dos imóveis e que existe dependência espacial entre os valores médios dos imóveis em cada área de influência dos bairros considerados no estudo.

Com essa análise, pretendeu-se ao mesmo tempo explorar mais acerca daquilo que motivou a verticalização e as mudanças no modo de morar ocasionadas pela transição da casa térrea unifamiliar para a habitação multifamiliar verticalizada, tal como a imagem do edifício de habitação perante um público leigo. A abordagem deu-se principalmente pela perspectiva do imaginário da época que associava a ideia de modernidade aos grandes edifícios, que puderam ser construídos graças aos avanços tecnológicos aproveitados pela arquitetura moderna / Abstract: This dissertation, which used the city of São Paulo as its main frame, is a study on residential buildings of the period set between the 1940's and 1970's. Through the review of advertisements from this time period, focusing on five specific issues chosen for their architectural significance, this work sought to simultaneously explore more about what motivated the vertical growth and the changes in the way of living caused by the transition from single-family houses to multifamily housing, such as the image of the vertical residential building for the lay public. The subject was approached mainly from the perspective of this time frame, in which the idea of modernity was often associated with large buildings that could only be built thanks to the technological advances availed by modern architecture / Mestrado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Mestra em História

Since the mid-sixties, and more particularly, since the beginning of 1972, housing prices in major urban centers across Canada have risen so sharply that it has become almost impossible for most Canadians to acquire adequate housing accommodation within their means. The rate of increase in the cost of land for housing, in comparison with other housing cost components, has been tremendously high. Why is the cost of land and housing so high in a land-rich country like Canada, and what could be done to control the rising cost of land and housing is the concern of this study. This thesis argues that the existing system, whereby, land is owned, planned, serviced, developed, and marketed, has built-in drawbacks and weaknesses that give rise to many problems which contribute to the high cost of urban land for housing. It is suggested that the value of urban land mostly represents the value created due to the general growth of the urban community and public development planning decisions. The benefits from such value increments in urban land rightlyabelong to the urban community. But in the existing system, in which land is predominantly owned by private owners and developed at the will of private owners and developers, these value increments in urban land remain in the hands of the private owners. It is argued that such profits from increments in land value due to community growth attract all forms of speculative practices that, to a very large extent are responsible for increasing the cost of land for housing. This is also responsible for the problem of conflict of interest at all levels or public development planning decision-making. It is further argued that in the existing system authority for public planning and development control is too fragmented in the light of present-day regional urban reality. It is irrational, inefficient, and costly to the public interest at large. The thesis suggests that to control the high prices or urban land and housing, the existing system must be modified so that the benefits from the socially-created value in urban land can be channelled back to the advantage of the community instead of being left to the sole advantage of the private owners. It argues that this can be achieved by large-scale public acquisition of land far in advance of need for its development, comprehensive planning on regional scale, servicing, and selling or leasing of such public land for development. Acquisition of land far in advance of need for development by public agencies will eliminate speculation and reduce the cost of urban land for housing. The thesis presents a general description of the existing urban land development system with particular reference to the Greater Vancouver Region in British Columbia. The system is identified as consisting of two main components: one being the private market mechanism in which land is privately owned, developed and marketed; the other being the public development planning, development controls, and development decision-making process. The role of private development market and the role of various public agencies in the development of urban land is described. The effects of public development planning decision-making at the general urban growth on the value of land is discussed. The problems of land speculation, conflict of interest at all levels of public development planning decision-making, and fragmented public planning authority and their effects on the cost of land and housing described. The experiences of Edmonton, Red Deer, and Saskatoon with public acquisition and development control of land and their success in keeping the price of land and housing under control are cited. In conclusion the concept of public involvement in the ownership of land and its development is recommended and some measures and steps to be adopted for successful implementation of public land assembly, land banking, and development controls are suggested. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate
