A business model is the way have a business to generate income. An industry or industrial sector, is a set of business, dedicated to meeting demand, grouped by some common criteria, depending on which one can define sub-sectors.
discuss whether the media (mostly paper but also electronic versions transplanted to the Internet) should be free or paid, is to assume that satisfies the demand exists and that the sources have not changed. And then get to speculate on the revenue model.
The press is facing a restructuring, not a redefinition of the business model, which, moreover, are redefining and on time, with Weekend rakes in DVD or dinner shift.
Like energy, information is a commodity permanent. As with energy, the sources may change, usually due to technological advances. And then, playing close coal mines.
Unlike energy, the demand for information need not always tend to grow and compete viciously with entertainment products, educational and cultural.
The music industry also faces a conversion. But not all the supply chain. The factories are faced with a business model redesign. Giving music touches them, and sell T-shirts and concert tickets. Everything
This comes up because Chris Anderson gives mushrooms make books that are almost obvious trends. And now speaking of new business models based on what free. In short, give without charge what was to pay, and charge for surrounding products. And it comes Malcolm Gladwell ( this demigod ), and strike him , but only as of the press. Godin says Gladwell is wrong, and succeeds, although the former is less god than the second. And Gladwell is right because it does not come to debate the obvious model of freemium and "Give aways " Anderson, and only strives questioning by the press for payment has to be free (if I were him, would do the same.)
The confusion comes from mixing ass and Ember, debates about business models and discussions on redevelopment of industrial sectors.
Gladwell I am sure that will not write a book about it. With what I like the scientific evidence would be very difficult to build its other-times-solid arguments.
