A framework for codifying business models and process models in e-Business design

The development of business models for e-Business has become increasingly popular within both the academic and business arena. We believe that many of the business models for e-Business are static in nature and only provide a historical view. In this chapter we draw upon the emergent knowledge of e-Business together with the traditional strategy theory and provide a simple framework for the evaluation of business models for e-Business. Central to this chapter we use dynamic modelling techniques of systems dynamics to evaluate an e-Business model using the triple pair approach in an effort to capture the casual relationships and rationalize the complexity of organizational resources and the environment in which they compete.
