Read an excerpt from the Business Models Almanac:

“There are thousands of different businesses in the world. They come in many different shapes and formats in a ever evolving market.

New technologies and consumer behavior changes are constantly forcing businesses to adapt and recreate themselves.

The same can be said about their business models. Their different types (or archetypes) are diverse and by combining them, entrepreneurs have been able to create disruptions never seen before.

After trying to classify business and its business models in different categories for years, I decided to create one big list (an almanac) of business types and its business models.

That’s how this almanac was born. Use it as a reference guide. Read one by one. Whatever way you choose, I hope it helps inspire you to create a new unicorn in your market.

This is must-have knowledge for entrepreneurs and business model analysts, and consultants if you want to dominate business models, this super guide was made especially for you.
