>Title:   eBusiness Models:  Lessons from Open Source
>
>
>Abstract:
>   The term 'business model' has many interpretations. During the
>   dot.com era, novel business models were postulated. Most of them
>   came down to the proposition that profits would eventually emerge
>   as a result of having dominant market-share in a vaguely described
>   but (trust me) emergent market. In the current, more sceptical
>   times, investors demand an answer to the question 'Who pays what,
>   to whom, and why?'.
>
>   There are many possible answers to each of the four sub-questions.
>   This presentation investigates the extent to which the open source
>   movement may have been inventing new answers, or at least evidencing
>   the feasibility of some of the more obscure and often-overlooked
>   answers. A detour is needed into a couple of aspects of economics
>   that a lot of economists seem to have difficulty with.
>
>   The presentation draws heavily on a paper of a similar name
>   presented at the 17th International Electronic Commerce Conference,
>   in Bled, Slovenia, in June 2004.
