Is this superior customer value proposition sustainable (immune to
competitive erosion)?
Unique configuration of resources (assets, capabilities) and
processes (activities)
PROFIT MODEL (How profitable is your business model)
How to deliver the most customer value at a comparative cost
advantage
Revenue model (price x volume), cost structure, margin model,
resource velocity

Economic and cognitive
barriers to entry and
imitation
(compare concept of fit in
activity system)

Performs worse on current performance characteristics
Introduces new performance characteristics or performs
superiorly on ignored ones
Involves choice of target customer, customer goals to be
addressed (“jobs to be done”), way of doing so (offering)

Summary
Value innovation or business model innovation
involves offering a superior customer value
proposition in a distinctive way (content, structure,
governance)
Blue oceans are uncontested market spaces that
enable firms to break the value/cost trade-off
Innovation of the business model has implications for
the value model, resource model and profit model
