Introduction
The e-Business sector is seeing tremendous growth at a time when technology is the lifeline for many people. Online business models are used to convert new technology to economic value. For some start-up companies, familiar business models cannot be applied, so a new model must be devised to fit the vision for the new entity. Not only is the business model important, in some cases the innovation rests not in the product or service but in the business model itself. In this assignment, a Venn diagram will be created that includes the four components of an e-business: Value proposition, online offering, Resource system, and Revenue models. Each of the components is critical to the success of a new business or an existing business that is reinventing itself.
