Various customer segments are as below;

1.Mass Market: The product is a relevant need amongst the general population. Eg. Flour.

2.Niche Market: This customer segment is based on highly specific needs and unique traits of its
clients. Eg. designer clothes

3.Segmented: Further segmentation based on slight variations in the customer’s demographics and
their needs. Eg. Gluten free flour

4.Diversify: Tweaking the offering to suit the needs of segments with dissimilar needs or traits.

5.Multi-Sided Platform/ Market: This kind of segment serves customers who have a relationship to
each other eg. drivers and passengers for Uber
The combination of products and services an organization provides to its customers.

Needs to be unique and easily differentiated from competition.

Value propositions can be divided into two categories:

1.Quantitative: this stresses the price or efficiency of the product or service

2. Qualitative: highlights the experience and results the product and its use, produce.

The value proposition provides value through a number of attributes such as:
• customization,
• performance,
• “getting the job done”,
• brand/ status,
• design,
• newness,
• price,
• cost and risk reduction,
• Accessibility
• convenience/ usability.
The medium through which an organization provides its value proposition to its customer segment

The channel selection is based on time, efficiency and least amount of investment required.

There are two basic kinds of channels –

1. Company owned channels e.g. store fronts

2. Partner Channels e.g. Distributors.

A company can opt to choose either one or employ a combination of both.


Customer Relationships can be categorized as follows;

1.Personal Assistance: company interacts with the customer directly through an employee who provides the
human touch

2.Dedicated Personal Assistance: A dedicated representative personally responsible for the entire
experience the customer has with the company.

3. Self-Service: Self-Service places the onus of the customer experience on the customer himself

4. Automated Services: Customized self-service relationships where the historical preference of the
customer is taken into account to improve the overall experience.

5. Communities: In today’s electronic age creating communities of clients allows organizations to


communicate with them directly. The community allows clients to share their experiences and come up with
common challenges and solutions.

6. Co-creation: The customer has a direct hand in the form the company’s product or service will take.
A revenue stream can be created through the following ways;

1.Asset Sale: the company sells the right of ownership over the good to the customer.

2.Usage Fee: the company charges the customer for the use of its product or service.

3.Subscription Fee: the company charges the customer for the regular and consistent use of its product or
service.

4.Lending/ Leasing/ Renting: the customer pays to get exclusive access to the product for a time-bound
period.

5.Licensing: the company charges for the use of its intellectual property.

6.Brokerage Fees: companies or individuals that act as an intermediary between two parties charge a
brokerage fee for their services.

7.Advertising: a company charges for others to advertise their products using their mediums.

An effective price for the product and/or service will be arrived at through the process of elimination.
Can also ask the customers what and how would they like to pay for the value offered
Resources can be categorized as:

1. Human – employees, contract labours, consultants etc.

2. Financial – cash, credit line available, stock options etc.

3. Physical – buildings, land, machinery, distribution networks etc.

4. Intellectual – patents, copyrights, partnerships, databases etc.

quantities and/or of superior quality.

2. Problem solving: Key Activities of this type relate to coming up with new solutions to individual customer
problems. E.g. consultancies

3. Platform/Network: Key Activities in this category relate to platform management, service provisioning,
and platform promotion.
4 different types of partnerships:

1. Strategic alliances between non-competitors

2. Coopetition: strategic partnerships between competitors

3. Joint ventures to develop new businesses

4. Buyer-supplier relationships to assure reliable supplies

Motivations for creating partnerships:

1. Optimization and economy of scale

2. Reduction of risk and uncertainty

3. Acquisition of particular resources and activities


Common cost structures;

1.Fixed Costs: costs that remain the same over a period of time

2.Variable Costs: as the name suggests, these costs vary according to a variance in
production

3.Economies of Scale: costs decrease as production increases

4.Economies of Scope: costs are decreased by investing in businesses related to the core
product.
