Talk:Business model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've edited the page on business models based on the lates literature (practitioner and academic)

In your historical overview of business models I suggest you go back and include Cyrus McCormick and the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. His business model of financing the purchase of harvesters to farmers on credit revolutionized that business. See for example Afred Chandler's "The Visisible Hand." Wedgwood's business model also deserve mentioning.

I am not familiar with the McCormick model. Please add a sentence or two to the article. If you have time, an article on it would be great. mydogategodshat 22:35, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The bait and hook model refers to charging "excessive" amounts for the blades. Excessive by what standard?

In the articles on business models list the very last item -- 'The online content business model' just gives a link to a word definition for 'online', not sure if there was another more appropriate page that was intended for this link?

The link "Business Models on the Web" isn't a particularly good website and should maybe be removed.

I've an issue with the term "excessive" here as well. "Excessive" simply means "beyond normal limits" but the connotation here is negative. Is there a better word to use? Ziggles Metropolitan 14:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

It might makes sense to merge the article business model design with this article. Opinions? Kborer 23:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
