A business model helps to describe how your business creates, delivers and captures value. Whether you are a start-up or an incumbent, your business model needs to be fluid – your strategy needs to consider how your business model might look over multiple time horizons and how it will need to adapt to external shocks. In the context of COVID-19, it is crucial to assess the impact on your business model, both immediately and over the longer term.
I spoke with Prof Thomas Ritter and Prof Carsten Lund Pedersen (Copenhagen Business School) about their framework for assessing the Coronavirus’s impact on your Business Model.
