Introduction
Business models systematically analyze the complex business environment and help firms succeed
competitively through value creation. As the business world is rapidly digitizing, disruptive innovations
are transforming the dynamics of business operations, product/service offerings, and business strategy.
In this era of transformative technologies like mobile apps, IoT, and analytics, businesses have to realign
their value propositions to meet the networked customer expectations and thrive in the digital
ecosystem. The purpose of this course is to offer an understanding of the transforming landscape of
businesses, and how they can develop digital business models to succeed in this era. The course provides
an overview of various frameworks for digital business models, with a discussion on disruptive
technologies that has led to the transformation of the business space. Discussions on digital
transformations introduce the students to the disruptive innovations that are destroying the traditional
barriers and opening up new opportunities. The various topics on social media, sharing economy, and
platform-based businesses offers an understanding on how businesses operate, succeed, and fail, in this
heavily digitized ecosystem.
