PublicationTESLA Motors: Business Model ConfigurationDuring its short history of 10 years, Tesla Motors Inc. has experienced soaring growth by radically deviating from traditional business model approaches in the automotive industry. Along the way, the company has taken many decisions to configure a model that goes far beyond the traditional car business. Riding a wave of success, Tesla's business has reached a turning point, where far-reaching decisions on its business model configuration must be made and various challenges mastered. Should Tesla return to its core, namely automobile production? Or should it further expand its integrative approach by building a mobility ecosystem? This case outlines the evolution of Tesla's business model from a niche prototype constructor of electric sports cars to one of the top 10 highest-valued car producers by market capitalization in the world. It aims to equip students with an ability to (1) understand the concept of business models generally and analyze the elements of Tesla's business model specifically; (2) comprehend the dynamics of business models; (3) assess the business model against rival approaches; (4) capture key strategic drivers; and (5) learn how to configure robust business models in transforming industries. http://www.thecasecentre.org/educators/products/view?id=121398Type: case studyIssue: Reference no. 314-132-1

PublicationAkris : Competition in the high-end fashion industryThe case study explores Akris, a family owned fashion company based in St Gallen, Switzerland. Starting with only one sewing machine in 1922, the firm has developed into one of the most acclaimed international brands in the high-end, pret-a-porter fashion segment over the past few decades. By the end of 2011, Akris fashion was available at more than 500 locations all over the world, including 15 flagship stores and 50 shop-in-shops at the most prestigious department stores. Celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Princess Charlene of Monaco, Nicole Kidman, and many others wear Akris. The case study highlights how Akris has gained a competitive advantage in the fashion industry by strategically differentiating itself from its rivals. Specifically, the case illustrates how a firm in a highly competitive, fast-paced environment benefits from a long-term strategy building upon distinctive capabilities and resources that have their roots in the firm's history.Type: case study
