ärimudelist

ärimudelist is a term used in Estonian business discourse to refer to a compiled list or taxonomy of business models. The concept denotes a structured resource that groups distinct ways organizations create, deliver, and capture value. While not tied to a single standardized framework, an ärimudelist typically presents models in a consistent format and can be used as a reference for analysis, planning, and education.

A list may be organized by revenue logic, customer relationship, or channel; common dimensions include customer segment, value proposition, revenue model, cost structure, key resources, key activities, and key partnerships. Some lists emphasize network effects or platform dynamics.

Common model types included in such lists are subscription, pay-per-use, freemium, advertising-supported, licensing, direct sales, franchising, marketplace, platform, and on-demand services, though the exact entries vary by author and sector. The purpose is to help entrepreneurs and strategists compare alternatives, brainstorm hybrids, and map risks.

In education and consulting, ärimudelist is used alongside tools like the Business Model Canvas to illustrate variations in strategy and to organize thought about monetization and scalability. Critics note that lists can oversimplify complex ventures and should be used in combination with deeper analysis of value proposition fit and market dynamics.
