Abstract

Key terms: Market, purpose and business model

Objective

The aim is to use a snapshot in time to interpret one’s own company and become able to assess opportunities and risks.

Content

The “company” module considers the role of organisations within the economic network of the markets and the nature of their identity. It presents the special aspects of planning offices as service providers, illustrates various types of company, and discusses companies’ life-cycle as they move from their founding to the period of planning for the succession. Both sector-specific development of management and organizational models and also the problems of obtaining access to international markets are also investigated. Alongside this, the foundations of a generally valid business model for service companies are described and key criteria are defined.
