A Different Business Model

The most important questions concerning private law are What kind of contract is needed to implement a Chemical Leasing business model, what is the difference between such a contract and a purchase contract regulating a conventional business model, and what provisions should be included in the contract ... 

This produced a list of strategic options different business models and value chain positions that would match the most attractive areas. These options were then assessed by a set of criteria that included economic value, feasibility, risk, investments, and fit with the overall strategy and portfolio of initiatives. To test the economic viability of individual products, specific business ideas related to single products/markets were written and pressure-tested. The final decision was made after extensive discussions and more than 80 interviews with experts. While such interviews are essential, it is also important to remain skeptical and avoid the common wisdom trap. It is too early to determine the financial success, but the company has already achieved alignment between the overall strategy, the level of investment, and the organizational setup. 

These PO structure a specific business model within a supply chain, and they have roles and interests that are qualitatively different than the sum of individual interests of their members. It has other interests than individual smallholders. Not the farm gate price is the prime concern, but the margin on commercialization of production. Profit is not their prime objective instead they look foremost to ways to maximize the turnover of products from their members. Generating profit (or surplus) on economic activities is however a necessity as they struggle to meet ends as a intermediary enterprise pay staff pay organizational expenses of member consultations pay taxes etc. Their commercial activities are mostly realized in straight competition with private actors in the chain (middlemen). 

This leads us to the realm of disruptive technologies. Christensen [8] presents the innovator s dilemma, where the large company focused on meeting current customer demand on a large scale ignores the disruptive opportunity because it looks like too small a market to make a difference on the balance sheet. Further, the opportunity is ignored because it does not fit in the current business model or address the needs of the current customer base. 

A system requirement spec often reflects the business model closely, as in this case. Differences occur where the business model is general to several systems or where there are special mechanisms of interaction with the user apart from any domain concepts (for... 

Components with different views and representations of a business concept can be related to the common business model with retrievals (see Sections 1.8.3 and 1.8.5). 

You will find that different users in a large business have different views of the business. Some of the differences reflect different areas of concern, others reflect differences in vocabulary, and still others are misunderstandings. Begin by making different models. Many of the differences can be resolved by writing invariants The simple rental relationship to one user... 

The types, attributes, and associations should be annotated with what they mean to the component, rather than globally. This is only a shift of emphasis and might not be very different from the business model. However, because one business model may be associated with many component models, there will typically be a difference in what is included. 

Make a model by adapting the initial statement of requirements, by interviewing prospective users, and by using domain knowledge and existing systems and standards. Much of the static type model will be taken over from the business model. The big difference is in the system context what the system is required to do and, more important, how people will do their jobs after it is installed. 

As you formalize the action specifications, you will find that the static types adopted from the business model contain superfluous information in some parts and inadequate information in others. Notions such as currently logged-in user are relevant only to a computer system. Adapt the model as required but the changes should be extensions and deletions rather than alterations. If you find yourself altering something, it is probably a mistake in the business model that you should fix or it may be that you are dealing with a slightly different concept, in which case you should give it a different name and model it separately. 

Moreover, as discussed in Section 13.1.2, Specify, Document, Implement, and Test Business to Code, activities to build, install, and deploy a system are consistently thought of as implementation steps at different levels implementation of internal design, system spec, and the to-be business model. 

The goal of this section was to outline current differences between the implementation of process analytics in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, specifically in the areas of business model, technology and regulations. The reader of this chapter should be aware that this status quo is changing rapidly in the pharmaceutical industry due to a changing business cUmate, combined with a more technology-aware regulatory environment in the major pharmaceutical markets. The authors of this chapter would expect that future editions of this book would see major revisions to this comparison of the industries. 

Based on experiences obtained in Egypt, Mexico and Russia and to enable a systematic approach of the implementation of Chemical Leasing business models at company level, UNIDO has developed a first toolkit. It covers the main steps to be undertaken to ensure the smooth and efficient application of Chemical Leasing in the industries of different countries. An overview of the general content of UNIDO s Chemical Leasing toolkit is included in Chapter 8. 

For the dissemination and the establishment of the ChL business model in different industries and different countries a clear definition of ChL is essential. As the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) plays a leading role in the development and implementation of ChL around the world, it was UNIDO that defined - together with an international working group -the term of Chemical Leasing (see Chapter 2). 

For each solution, the question will be asked "What is needed for realisation ". By this means, the necessary "hard" and "soft" pre-conditions will be determined (e.g. new partners, specialists, choice of business management, different company culture,. ..) In a further step, these pre-conditions defined are further described by a timeframe "When will it be possible " During discussion, tasks necessary to clarify pre-conditions will be continually noted. Wherever there are potential improvements described, which cannot be optimised in-house, links to new business models like Chemical Leasing are established.
