Tseng, An-chih 11 July 2007 (has links)
Recently, with the relocation of major international trades fromEuro-America to Asia, all Asia-Pacific countries have been building moreand more harbors to compete for trade opportunities. Among them, Chinais an outstanding case. In this wave of harbor booming, the number ofcontainers in Kaohsiung grows stagnantly. As a neighboring country to those developing area, we should feel threatened. There are various keys to the successful management of harbor. Efficiency of operation is the major concern of most shipping companies. Aside from facilities and equipments, efficiency of ports operation must also depend on management. In this thesis, I propose that the electronification of operation procedures and information exchange is the key to efficient management and the building of a new business model. In this paper, I use Kaohsiung Port as my case of study. Employing Inter-Organizational system structure analysis, I will first analyze the business challenges Kaohsiung faces as well as providepossible response strategies. Through methods of management and support of information technology, how can we create a more competitive organization? Secondly, through interviewing different shipping companies, I will know to what degree the management and information exchange has been electronified.I propose that a new information platform must be built up to fasten operation and improve ports logistic issues. In this thesis, I will show that single service platform of ports operation, electronification of management and the establishment of new e-business model of operation can help to make ports operation more efficient and therefore enhance capacity for competition. Based on this model of management, I will conclude that this strategy can also be applied to ports with similar structure.

Lin, Pei-Hua 24 July 2002 (has links)
The Internet booming has changed the traditional way of doing business. Following this trend, the enterprise in general pursues competitive advantages through developing electronic commerce solution for its business. The favorable conditions such as the maturity of technology, the growth of Internet population, and changes in customer needs have prompted many life insurance companies to adopt business models to grasp opportunities in the Internet area. This research is concerned about the Internet business model for life insurance. Value Chain analysis is first employed to explore the impact of Internet on the life insurance industry. Then brainstorming is sought from domain experts to discover value created in electronic commerce applications. As an evaluation methodology where hard data may be rare or unavailable, the Delphi method is applied to obtain the consensus of experts about the impact and value brought by implementing electronic commerce in life insurance industry. In the final analysis, product innovation, infrastructure management, customer relationship management were employed as major dimensions to analyze results from the Delphi survey. The propositions concluded for constructing the business model are as follows: First, as information technology becomes more accessible, life insurance company can provide promotion online, insurance purchase online, discount of insurance fee and customer service online to target customers in different markets. Second, life insurance company must do business process reengineering when they decide to adopt electronic commerce. Third, life insurance company can view the Internet as an information-based channel, which can provide transparent and immediate information and then can provide the personal facility for customer to raise customers¡¦ trust and loyalty. Fourth, as the electronic commerce environment of the life insurance industry as a whole is not mature yet, the current implementation of relevant business models is aimed mainly for cost reduction. In summary, the research suggests that life insurance company should redesign the business process to cooperate with insurance purchase online and sales agents should transform toward the role of providing consultation services to their customers.

Web phenomenon applied as ICT platform in support of business model innovation

Steenkamp, CJH, Arnoldi-van der Walt, SE 01 March 2004 (has links)
2 Traditional business model The traditional organizational business model [developed more than a century ago in Britain as 'the method of doing business by which a company can sustain itself – that is to generate revenue' (Rappa, 2001)]' was driven by pre-specific plans and goals, aimed to ensure optimisation based primarily on building consensus, convergence and compliance' (Malhotra 2000b). In this traditional model ['tightly bound command-and-control hierarchy with headquarters staff calling the shots from the top' (Viscio and Pasternack 1996)], organizational information and control systems, performance and behaviour were modelled on the same paradigm, to enable convergence by ensuring adherence to the organizational tried-and-true model, the company way, rules of thumb, procedures, processes and archived best practices to ensure profits and sustainability. As described by Malhotra in his article, A Framework for Business Model Innovation, this routinization of organizational goals for realizing increased efficiencies is suitable for that era, which is marked by a relatively stable and predictable business environment (Malhotra 2000b). 'The pace of change was relatively predictable with some level of certainty', while the components to sustain success ('information, control and performance systems; the procedure manuals, rules of thumbs and best practices in the minds of managers and workers who have comfort in following "tried and tested" business practices') is safely and comfortably embedded in the company's recipe for success (Malhotra 2000a). In the traditional economy, business dictated to customers and customers had to buy what organizations had to offer them to suit their needs. Customers' needs were artificially created and manipulated; therefore, the service and products rendered to them could be planned in advance. It is clear that the old world of business, with its predefined recipes for success and pre-determined strategies and business conduct, was focused on its inner self and its products. Business existed in a comfort zone and organizations were able to programme and archive their business procedures and know-how in databases and human minds for any significant duration of time as 'programmed logic' (Malhotra 2000a).

Customer involvement in business model innovation : A case study in the medical instrument industry

Ekdahl, Andreas, Sandell, Jonas January 2014 (has links)
Firms have to constantly develop or innovate in order to stay competitive. Within the fields of marketing, product development and service development studies have examined how the customer can be a resource for development or innovation. Recently, customer value has been examined within the business model concept, which has emerged as a new unit of analysis and has steadily gained interest during the past 20 years. Linked to the concept of business model is the concept of business model development or innovation. Within this field of research there are very few studies on customer involvement. This is the starting point of our study. The few studies that exist regarding customer involvement in business model innovation have mainly focused on the customer as a resource for screening ideas. In our study, we focus on the customer as resource for idea generation. We also go in to detail and examines in what dimensions different customer groups can be a resource for business model innovation. Our theoretical framework consists of ten different studies that examine business model dimensions, from which we identify nine dimensions relevant for our context. We also use theories regarding business model innovation, business model design and customer involvement. We have conducted the study in the context of a small medical instrument firm. Our empirical data consists of fifteen interviews with customers and company representatives. The customers represent different customer groups: patients, nurses, doctors and managers.  Our analysis originates from the business model dimensions identified in the theoretical framework. We use the theoretical framework to understand in which dimensions the customer can be a resource for business model innovation. We also use the theoretical framework to look for differences and similarities within and between the customer groups.  The study concludes that the customer can be a resource for business model innovation in a number of business model dimensions. Furthermore, the majority of the ideas the customer has is similar or identical to the ideas that the company has. The ideas the customer has seem to be effected by their relationship to the business model. There are also some individuals that have substantially more ideas than others.
