Osterwalder and Pigneur in their book “Business model generation: A handbook for visionaries, game changers, and challengers” define a business model as ‘the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers and captures value’. This framework includes 9 components Customer Segments, Value Propositions, Channels, Customer Relationships, Revenue Streams, Key Resources, Key Activities, Key Partnerships, Cost Structure) which give a holistic view of the business model of the company. (Osterwalder, et al., 2010) This model is now widely used by a lot of academics and business
