business model analysis framework by our group called ABCD analysis

called competitive strategy. Based on four constructs Advantages, Benefits,
Constraints and Disadvantages, of this system consider all determinant issues in
key areas through analyzing the constructs ABCD of these issues and
identifying the critical constituent elements. The result supported the logic of
using ABCD analyzing technique in any System performance evaluation.
