Topic: Creating Successful Business Models for the 21st Century

Abstract:

Corporate success depends on the company's ability to deploy, manage and evolve the processes, transaction types and participants they do business with. In today's economy, business models appear and disappear almost overnight. Missing a model or keeping one around too long could be disaster for any company. Mitchell Levy, author of E-Volve-or-Die.com and a faculty member at San Jose State University will present the Value Framework for analyzing corporate success in the 21st century. He will share case studies from UPS, Covisint, Autobytel, Webvan and Napster, showing how the transformation from analog to digital created the opportunity for entirely new business models to evolve and flourish. You will be able to see how successful business models can be created, managed and evolved in the 21st century. This was a very successful talk given at Comdex Fall and is also part of a class taught at San Jose State University.
