ABSTRACT
Manufacturing companies nowadays face a myriad of business opportunities as a direct
consequence of manifold disruptive technology developments. When it comes to the innovative
exploitation of those technologies, the matter is about winning business models. As a basic
characteristic, disruptive technologies lead to a severe shift in valuecreation networks as
digitalizationshowsformanufacturingindustries.Initially,oneofthekeychallengesistoanticipate
the business logic that comes along with technological change. Further, from a companys
perspective the effective business model design appears to be crucial in competition. Business
model patterns are an innovative approach to tackle thesechallenges. They can be interpreted as
proven, adaptable building blocks of successful business models. The paper at hand, presents a
methodology for patternbased business model design. It covers the identification of relevant
technologiesandenablesthedevelopmentofpromisingbusinessmodelsmakinguseofestablished
businessmodelpatterns.
Keywords:businessmodelpatterns,businessmodels,disruptivetechnologies.
BUSINESSOPPORTUNITIESTHROUGHTECHNOLOGICALCHANGES
Innovative products and production systems based on new technologies enable sustained
differentiation in competition (Schuh et al., 2009). Technological progress ensures substantial
success potentials for companies, but often causes threats for the established business as well. In
particular, this is valid for disruptive technologies such as Additive Manufacturing. Additive

Nowadays we observe companies in manufacturing industries and related others that are facing
extensive technological developments with a strong disruptive character. These developments are
mainly driven by the continuous penetration of products and processes with information and
communication technology. More and more devices in our environment will be electronically

Accordingtoourexperience,theengineeringofproducts,servicesandrelatedproductionsystems

rather be expressed by interlinked cycles which is given by the reference model for strategic

In tomorrows competition innovative business models are required that reap the benefits of
technological advancements (Chesbrough, 2010), (Christensen et al., 2009). More and more,

PATTERNSINBUSINESSMODELDEVELOPMENT
TheUKaircraftenginemanufacturerRollsRoyceinnovateditsbusinessmodelin1962.Sincethen,
the operators of an aircraft have no longer been charged for an engines purchase, but for the
number of hours the engine had been in operation. RollsRoyce simultaneously takes full
responsibility of maintenance and repair, whereby the maintenance business is kept inhouse and
the company generates constant revenue streams (Rolls Royce, 2014). Philips pursues a similar
business model with medical devices, based on a pay per patient principle and also includes
professional maintenance (Phillips, 2014). RollsRoyce and Phillips obviously use a similar solution
principlewithintheirbusinessmodelsapattern,whichcanapparentlybetransferredtoproducts
andmaintenanceservicesofcompletelydifferentindustries(Ngetal.,2009).
ThebasicconceptofpatternsfollowstheworksofarchitecturaltheoristChristopherAlexander.At
theendofthe1970sheformulated253patternsfordesigningtowns,buildingsandconstructions.
AccordingtoAlexanderpatternsdescribeprovensolutionsforrecurringproblems(Alexanderetal.,
1977),(Alexander,1979):
Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and
then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this
solutionamilliontimesover,withouteverdoingitthesamewaytwice(Alexanderetal.,1977).
The basic idea of the pattern concept is reusing solutions that are documented generally and
abstractlyinordertomakethemaccessibleandapplicabletoothers.Inthisway,patternsseekto
contribute to reducing complexity and increasing effectiveness and efficiency in problemsolving
processes(Buschmannetal.,1996).Patternsaremeanwhileusedacrossseveraldomains(Cloutier

Business model patterns in literature basically differ with respect to their granularity. We propose
three different categories that can be used to classify business model patterns (Gausemeier and
Amshoff, 2014). The three different categories of business model patterns are frameworks,
prototypicalbusinessmodelsandsolutionpatternsforbusinessmodels.Thepaperathandprimarily
aims at solution patterns, which serve as building blocks for the design of new business models.
Since a solution pattern addresses different parts of a business model, an overall framework is
required. Kster suggests a framework, which includes the partial models supply model (Which
productorservicedoweofferandwhatkindofvaluedowebringforwhichcostumer?),customer
model (How do we design the interface to our customers?), value creation model (How do we
createtheproductorservice?)andfinancialmodel(Whichcostsdoesthebusinessaccompany?).
Every partial model contains further business model elements (e.g. customer segments, value
proposition, etc.). The framework compiles business model elements literature mostly refers to.
Figure 2 shows the framework, in which the financial model has been extended by the elements

can choose between the configuration options customer acquisition, customer retention,
customerdevelopmentandsalespromotion(GausemeierandAmshoff,2014),(Gassmannetal.,
2013).
We found that this approach is also suitable for identifying solution patterns in business models.
Business models of companies that already commercialize a disruptive technology successfully are
described by means of business model variables and related configuration options. According to
figure 3 a solution pattern can be defined as a combination of configuration options, which
repeatedly occurs in successful business models (Bissanz and Hagedorn, 2009), (Gausemeier and
Amshoff, 2014). For instance, the combination consisting of configuration options (3B), (4C), (5A)

and (5B) is used across several companies successfully exploiting a technology. Thus, these
configurationoptionsrevealtheexistenceofasolutionpattern.

Within the first phase, technologies, which might have disruptive effects on a companys existing
business model, are identified. This is carried out using established methods and IT tools of
technologyscanningandmonitoring(Wellensieketal.,2011),(Bullinger,2012).Basedonaprecise

value is high, when two configuration options are used jointly in a very large number of business
models. The final outcome is asimilarity matrix, which can be transferred into a multidimensional
scaling (MDS) (Borg and Groenen, 2005). The MDS visualizes the configuration options in a two
dimensional space regarding their similarity to each other. Configuration options with a high
similarity value are positioned in close proximity within this figure. By doing this, business model

The pattern combination matrix is calculated as a product of the pattern usage matrix and the
transposed pattern usage matrix (Lindemann et al., 2009). It specifies for each business model
pattern, how often it is combined with a certain other pattern regarding the analyzed companies.

means that 8 of 20 analyzed companies use this combination in their business models. Thus, with
the help of the pattern combination matrix patterns can be revealed, which are frequently used
together.

from the standpoint of the considered company. The general design approach of new business
modelsisdepictedinfigure12.Weconsidertwotypesoflevels,onwhichthebusinessmodeldesign
can be carried out: the specific and the abstract level. Linking both levels, there are three
overarching tasks, which need to be done: Business idea definition, Conceptual business model
designandBusinessmodelspecification.
Starting point of any business model is a business idea. A business idea gives a rough idea of the
productsandservices,acompanyoffersforacertaintypeofcustomers,regionsandneeds(Bachet
al.,2010).Abusinessideathereforeisspecifictoacompanyandneedstobedefinedattheearly
beginning of the design process (Business idea definition). Further, a consistent business model
needs to be designed in order to substantiate the idea. The business model design is done by
building combinations of business model patterns, which are unique at the companys target
market. Since the patterns are abstract in nature, the specific business idea gets transferred in an
abstract pattern (basic pattern). Afterwards, combinations of business model patterns are built
keeping the basic pattern fix. Due to their high degree of abstraction, combinations of business
modelpatternsrepresentprincipalsolutionsofbusinessmodels,socalledbusinessmodelconcepts
(Business model conception). Finally, these business model concepts are specified against the
backgroundoftheconsideredcompany.Thisleadstoentirebusinessmodels,whicharecustomized

Businessideadefinition
Asaninitialtask,aninnovativebusinessideaforthefuturebusinesswiththeselectedtechnology
needs to be defined. In order to generate business ideas we distinguish between two different
principles(Gassmannetal.,2013):
x Pattern association: Following this principle, business ideas are developed by means of
creativitytechniquesandestablishedmethodsofstrategicforesight(GausemeierandPlass,
2014). Every business idea is subsequently assigned to a suitable business model pattern
fromthepatternsystem.
x Pattern confrontation: Using this principle, business ideas are developed by confrontation
with the identified business model patterns. Therefore, every pattern from the pattern
systemischeckedtodetermineitspotentialforanownbusinessidea.
Regardless,whichprincipleisused,therealwaysisaclearassignmentofthespecificbusinessidea
and an abstract business model pattern. As part of the project, the business idea Production of
remotecontrolledcompressorswasdefined.Thebusinessmodelpatternbelongingtothisbusiness
ideaispattern2ConditionMonitoringSystemsforownMachinesandPlants.
Conceptualbusinessmodeldesign
Within this task, a business model concept for the previously defined business idea has to be
developed.Anewbusinessmodelshouldgenerallycreateauniquepositioninthecompetitivearena
(Christensen et al., 2009). For this reason, a profound analysis of the dominant business logic is
carried out in the first instance. The dominant business logic can be obtained from the pattern
combination matrix (figure 10). Since the pattern combination matrix is based on an analysis of
companiesoperatinginverydifferentmarkets,itshowsthedominantbusinesslogicacrossmarkets.
For the considered company, however, only the situation in the market to be entered is relevant.
Thus, a new pattern combination matrix only including the direct competitors is carried out.
Thereafter,thedominantbusinesslogicandthebusinesslogicinthetargetmarketcanbecompared
inordertoderiveastrategicdirectionfordesigningtheownbusinessmodel.

In dependece of the strategic direction, alternative business model concepts subsequently are
developed. For this purpose, the business model patterns are combined in a unique way. The
combination of business model patterns underlies a major challenge, however: Since a company
lacks knowledge in the target market, it is usually not able to assess the quality of a pattern
combination. This is why pattern combinations must always be generated from a market
perspective. Prevalent methods like the morphological scheme are consequently not applicable
here.Totacklethischallenge,wedevelopedacomputeraidedtoolprovidingeffectivesupportfor

SUMMARYANDCONCLUSION
Farreaching technological developments like Industry 4.0 or Additive Manufacturing have major
impact on companies future business and value creation structures. Against the background of
these developments, companies find themselves confronted with threads, but also perceive
attractive opportunities for new businesses. In order to translate business opportunities into
businesssuccess,viablebusinessmodelsarerequired.
In the paper at hand we introduced a patternbased methodology for designing business models.
The methodology enables a systematic examination of business potentials based on disruptive
technologies. In the course of our research, we made the following findings: (1) Business model
patterns are a valuable approach to describe and understand business logics of new, unknown
markets.(2)Commercialexploitationofdisruptivetechnologiesestablishesnewbusinesslogicsand
therefore new business model patterns. These patterns are applicable across industries. For
instance, business model patterns for condition monitoring can be operationalized in mechanical
engineering. (3) New business models for disruptive technologies are often based upon an
unconventional recombination of proven solution elements. Thus, an analysis of successful
technologyplayersprovidesvaluableinsights.Theyserveasavaliddatabasisfortheidentification
