KNOWLEDGE FOR BUSINESS IN BORDER REGIONS<br />

When depicting the business model of your own company try to carefully select only the most important and significant elements,<br />

so what you’ll end up with is a final model that fits on one page only.<br />

It may happen that one or two components of the 7-Cs are not very significant within your company and therefore not relevant for<br />

your final business model. In the case of Hugo Boss for example the area of „human capital and corporate culture“is not represented<br />

in its business model.<br />

Other components on the other hand side may be so important that two, three or even more aspects go into your business model,<br />

just like with the area of customer interface in the case of Hugo Boss.<br />

2.5 Deriving a successful competitive strategy based on a company’s business model<br />

There is little doubt that business model innovation can clearly impact the long-term success of a company. CEO surveys show that<br />

innovation in business models – how business is done – is rapidly becoming as or more important than product and service innovation<br />

as a driver of competitive advantage and growth.<br />

So once you have depicted your current business model, you should try to further innovate it by thinking about possible strategic<br />

options and their consequences. The most promising fields of innovation are those areas, where your company can leverage conceptional<br />

strengths (being different) as well implementation competence (being better).<br />

2.6 The balanced scorecard model (BSC)<br />

Even Sir Winston Churchill, ex-prime minister of Great Britain acknowledged:<br />

„However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”<br />

Sir Winston Churchill<br />

And he is right. It is not enough to have great strategies and to talk about a lot of different opportunities. At some point you need<br />

to get into the implementation, but also monitor the success of your competitive strategy accordingly. The balanced scorecard model<br />

is a great tool to do.<br />

It is a management system (not a measurement system) that enables companies to clarify their strategies, translate them into action,<br />

and provide meaningful feedback around both the internal business processes and external outcomes in order to continuously<br />

improve strategic performance and results. When fully developed, the BSC is intended to transform strategic planning from a separate<br />

top management exercise into the nerve center of an enterprise.<br />

Four main perspectives are taken into consideration: the financial perspective, the internal process perspective, the innovation and<br />

learning perspective and the customer perspective. Each perspective comprises individual goals, the corresponding measures including<br />

KPIs – key performance indicators and is provided with a certain budget.<br />
