Business Model Generation – A handbook for Visionaries, Game Changers and Challengers
Back in June 2009 I visited the “Business Model Innovation Knowledge Fair and Book Launch” in Amsterdam, where a first (prototype)version of the Business Model Generation (hand)book was launched by Alex Osterwalder and his team.
