TL;DR: The idea of an integral business model, which includes many aspects of company activities, is certainly not new as discussed by the authors, and it can be assumed that every employee has in mind some more or less vague notion which serves as a model of his company.
Abstract: As organizations are becoming more complex there is an increasing need to investigate already in the planning stage the results of a number of alternative policies. The construction of a model is thereby essential. It can be assumed that every employee has in mind some more or less vague notion which serves as a model of his company. These models are implicit, they are of little use to someone else. Explicit models fairly descriptive of company performance are now in frequent use as a tool for the policymaker. The idea of an integral business model, which includes many aspects of company activities, is certainly not new. In the Anglo-American literature one encounters the name ‘corporate model’ [8], [2], in the French literature ‘modele global de l’enterprise’ [1].
