創投家為什麼最想知道商業模式？ 企業營運為什麼無法持續盈利？ 轉型變革為什麼不知道從何下手？ 「商業模式」是營運思考必備工具 只要有組織，就會有商業模式。 優異的商業模式會促使組織快速成長； 糟糕的商業模式則會讓最具前途的創投公司注定失敗。 任何經營公司的人，不論事業是否成功， 都知道顧客、供應商、員工、資源、資金與夢想之間的關聯性。 本書提供了一個架構，讓你能以視覺化方式設計並評估你的夢想， 也會讓你看到你需要填補的空白處有多大。 為你的組織量身設計「商業模式」 商業模式是以地圖或故事呈現的設計，這些要素集中圍繞在資源、交易、價值創造，當這些要素達成協調、彼此相互配合，便能產生前後一致且說服力十足的敘事，而商業模式就有可能持續進行： （1）資源：是商業模式的原料。記得檢視在你的組織中，有哪些關鍵資源？不論是資產、知識或能力，都必須詳細列出可以取得和必要的資源。 （2）交易：是連結的樞紐，指的是連結、結合、交換各項資源。其中，「跨界交易」最為重要，例如向客戶銷售商品、跟供應商買原料，都屬於跨界交易。如果想要評估商業模式，可以從這開始下手。 （3）價值：商業模式只有在能「創造」並獲取「價值」時才算成功，因此組織必須要將資源和交易中所蘊含的價值變現並獲取，才能夠獲益、存續及興盛。 （4）敘事：優異的商業模式會訴說前後一致、說服力十足，也能實行的故事。當敘事將資源、交易、價值連結在一起時，商業模式本身便能達成協調一致。對一致性的概念有所了解後，就能打造出商業模式地圖和商業模式圖。 該如何把資源、交易與創造價值用敘事巧妙地連結起來？ 需要哪些工具？什麼架構？怎樣打造？如何調整？ 你的商業模式資源夠SHaRP嗎？ **1.**專業化（Specialised）：同樣都是MP3隨身聽，蘋果的iPod為何可以擁有75%的市占率？ **2.**難以複製（Hard...
