Business models depict the operations of a business, and strategic business models provide the analytical basis for examining and formulating strategy for the future operations of a firm. This new work from leading expert Frederick Betz reviews the general strategic-model technique and applies it to diverse kinds of businesses, both productive and financial (including banks and hedge funds). As strategic business models are important to understand the transformative operations of an enterprise system, for present and future competitiveness, Betz¿s exploration into both manufacturing and financial firms, along with retailing firms and conglomerates, broadens the business literature.
