Talk:Business Model Canvas

List of components in the Description section

The diagram on this page (and the standard model I have seen) has 9 components. But in the Description section of this article, 10 components are listed in the bullet points. I believe the final one – Resources – should be removed. Do you agree? Matthew C. Clarke 10:35, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I agree the Resources section should be removed. Samvid95 (talk) 05:57, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Why is there no "Criticisms" section?

This tool is widely used. Why is there no section on its shortcomings or limitations? Pleasantville (talk) 08:56, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

@Pleasantville: Well, the Business Model Canvas § Alternative forms section is an implicit acknowledgment of the template's shortcomings, since so many people have created alternative versions of it, and in presenting their alternative versions the creators of the alternative versions always explain how they are improving on the original, or at least tailoring it to particular circumstances. As is mentioned in the article, see also Lean startup § Business model templates for other variations on the template. So anyone who looks up more information on these alternative versions will find some degree of criticism of the original. Biogeographist (talk) 15:48, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

@Pleasantville:@Biogeographist:, I have added some points that I have recently found in the literature. I hope you will find them useful. I have also added one reference from a book chapter (Nicola & White 2013), but I could not find the right template. Please correct it if possible. I am an occasional user.

@Dr.sergio.rs: Thanks for adding the very helpful "Criticism" section; I separated it from the "Alternative forms" section for clarity. Biogeographist (talk) 15:57, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

And the critiques currently mentioned in the "Criticism" section apply just as well to the alternative canvases mentioned in the "Alternative forms" section. Biogeographist (talk) 21:59, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Typo in "Business Model Canvas: nine business model building block" image

The first block, Key Partners has a typo. Instead of 'acquiring' it says 'acquairing'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.35.52.30 (talk • contribs) 10:18, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
