5 1. MOTIVATION

6 There are new challenges in education - why and what kind?

7 (Source: New York Times, 30th of March, 2013)

8 Need a Job? Invent It Tony Wagner, the Harvard education specialist says: college tracks are not consistently adding the value and teaching the skills that matter most in the marketplace. Seeing that as dangerous at a time when there is increasingly no such thing as a high-wage, middleskilled job Now there is only a high-wage, high-skilled job. Source: New York Times,

9 Need a Job? Invent It Every middle-class job today is being pulled up, out or down faster than ever. That is, it either requires more skill or can be done by more people around the world or is being buried - made obsolete - faster than ever. The goal of education today should not be to make every child college ready but innovation ready - ready to add value to whatever they do. Today, because knowledge is available on every Internetconnected device, what you know matters far less than what you can do with what you know. The capacity to innovate the ability to solve problems creatively or bring new possibilities to life and skills like critical thinking, communication and collaboration are far more important than academic knowledge. Source: New York Times,

10 Need a Job? Invent It Our generation had it easy: We just got to find a job. But, more than ever, our kids will have to invent a job. Every young person will still continue to need basic knowledge, but they will need skills and motivation even more. Of the all education goals motivation is the most critical Young people who are intrinsically motivated curious, persistent, and willing to take risks will learn new knowledge and skills continuously. They will be able to find new opportunities or create their own a disposition that will be increasingly important as many traditional careers disappear. Source: New York Times,

11 Motivation is critical for learning. Where to get it in high-growth entrepreneurship education?

13 What it takes that our well-being will be funded in the future? Consultant Company McKinsey Finland published a report in 2010 stating the conditions under which the Finnish society can maintain its current welfare in the future. According to the report, Finland needs new jobs to be created on private sector by year If taking into account of retirement, the amount is increased by new jobs on private sector resulting in the requirement of over new jobs. In addition, the productivity of publicly funded services should be improved by 1.2 percent per every year. McKinsey believes that these measures will allow us to only preserve the current valuable features of our welfare.

14 Where new jobs have and will be created?

15 Means to tackle the challenge: Growth entrepreneurship & the related talent Majority of NEW JOBS are born in Young & Small firms in Finland, less than 700 growth firms representing 4,8% share of all companies generated 50% of the total increase in employment* During the last three decades in the USA: Economic growth has been solely based on the value created by growing technology companies, and especially the IT sector ** Companies under 5 years of age have created over 40 million jobs accounting for all of the country s net job growth. *** The role of talent: Case Stanford in Silicon Valley Stanford Entrepreneur companies generate 2,7 trillion USD in revenue annually, and These companies have created 5,4 million new jobs. **** * Source: Kasvuyrityskatsaus, TEM (04/2011) ** Startup Genome, *** President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, White House. Interim report **** The Wall Street Journal

16 What is the role of Technology?

17 Job-destroying vs. job-creating effects: Technological advances make our life easier, that is sure. However, robots and automation are eventually going to take all of our job(s), aren t they? Source: Technology and people: The great Job-creating machine. Deloitte

18 About technological innovation and its effects on employment Authors: Ian Stewart, Debapratim De and Alex Cole. Deloitte 2015.

19 How technology affects employment? Laitoksen nimi 10/21/

20 Effect on Employment by type of work Laitoksen nimi 10/21/

21 Conclusions The dominant trend is of contracting employment in agriculture and manufacturing being more than offset by rapid growth in the caring, creative, technology and business services sectors. Machines will take on more repetitive and laborious tasks, but seem no closer to eliminating the need for human labor than at any time in the last 150 years. jobs in certain fields have declined over the rise of technology, but says that the stock of work is not fixed - meaning that when some professions decline, others often spring up in their place. Rather than making human workers redundant, technology has simply shifted work into other areas. Laitoksen nimi 10/21/

22 The data show that technology has created more jobs than it has destroyed in the last 144 years. Source: Technology and people: The great Job-creating machine. Deloitte

62 Something interesting is Happening!!!

63 Startups.vs. Companies Startups are NOT simply smaller versions of large companies. Companies execute business models where: Customers their problems and necessary product features are all knowns.

64 Startups.vs. Companies In sharp contrast, startups operate in search mode, seeking a repeatable and profitable business model. The search for a business model requires dramatically different rules, roadmaps, skill sets, and tools in order to minimize risk and optimize chances for success.

65 Startup is: A startup is a temporary organization in search of a: Scalable Repeatable profitable business model. At the outset, the startup business model is a canvas covered with ideas and guesses, but it has no customers and minimal customer knowledge.

66 What separates startups from established companies? Startups are younger and smaller in size Startups are fast in decisions and operations Startups utilize informal methods being agile Startups are good at innovating Startups have low cost structure ( bootstrapping ) Startups have usually higher risk, and higher return on investment potential Startups benefit from industry disruptions Startups can potentially grow very rapidly with limited resources ( scalable )

67 Definition for a scalable startup A startup is an temporary organization used to search for a repeatable and scalable business model. (Steve Blank, 2011)

68 Lessons learned (steveblank.com) While large companies execute known business models based on already known facts, for startups the most design parameters are unknown in their search for a scalable business model The goal of your early business model can be revenue, profits, or users, or click-throughs whatever startup owners and investors have agreed upon Money is not always the best indicator for success in startup context Customer Development and Lean Startup models are the methods for startups to quickly iterate and test the early hypotheses about the business model See more e.g. Most startups change their business model multiple times and it is just a normal type of action for them

69 Rationale behind the Business Model Canvas (BMC) There is a need for a shared concept that everybody understands enabling description and commensurate discussion about business model(s) Model must be simple, relevant & intuitively understandable, but not over-simplifying the complexities of how an enterprise function. Differentiating business model from other concepts, such as a revenue model, strategy etc. BMC tool describes any business model with 9 building blocks indicating the logic how company intends to make money Covers four main areas of business: Customers, offering, infrastructure, and financial viability To describe, analyze, design and validate any business model A blueprint for a strategy to be implemented through organizational structures, processes, and systems Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

70 Definition for a Business Model A Business Model describes the rationale how an organization creates, delivers and captures value. Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

74 Business Model The 1st part The value part Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

75 Business Model The 2 nd part The efficiency part Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

76 1. Customer Segments ( The heart of any Business Model, source for revenues) A decision for whom value - based on needs or problems - is intended to be created? What are the different groups - distinct segments - with common needs, challenges, behaviors and other attributes? Who are the most important customers? Different types: Mass market (e.g. consumer electronics) Niche market (e.g. suppliers-manufacturers) Cater to specialized customer segments Segmented market (e.g. banks, clients) Diversified market (e.g. Amazon) Serving two unrelated customer segments Multisided market (e.g. Visa, Google) Serving two or more interdependent segments Customers grouped as separate segments IF they: Present different needs justifying distinct offer; are reached through different distribution channels; require different types of relationships; have drastically different profitability; Are willing to pay for different aspects of the offering; Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

77 2. Value Propositions ( A bundle of benefits offered customers ) What is the value to be delivered? Which customers problems to be solved? What are customer needs to be satisfied? Bundle of products and services targeted to requirements of certain Customer Segment Disruptive vs. Incremental offers Factors contributing to value experienced by client: Newness (e.g. cell phones, ipad) Performance (e.g. PCs, graphic cards, cars) Customization (e.g. personal training program, colored mobile covers) Convenience/usability (e.g. IPod & music biz) Design, brand and status (e.g. fashion business and consumer electronics; Rolex Savings in time (e.g. navigator) Carrying the whole responsibility (e.g. Rolls-Royce, manuf. & service) Cost savings (e.g. cloud computing services, SaaS e.g. Salesforce.com) Price cut (e.g. no frills airlines, totally free offerings) Reduced risks (e.g. service level guarantee, longer warranty) Increased accessibility (e.g. new business models & technologies) Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

78 3. Channels ( Company s interface to customers ) How to reach targeted Customer Segments to deliver a Value Proposition? Which Communication, Sales and Distribution channels are the most cost-efficient ones? How to find a right balance between different types of channels in order to create a good customer experience? Channel functions: Raising awareness among customers about company s offering Enabling customers to evaluate of company s value proposition (offering) Enabling and helping customers to purchase products and services Enabling the delivery of the value proposition to customers Pre/post-purchase customer support Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

79 4. Customer Relationships (ways to deal with customers, to acquire & retent clients and boost sales) What type of relationship(s) do our customer segment(s) require? How cost-efficient they are? How relations are aligned and integrated with rest of the business model? Different types of Customer Relationships: (Dedicated or not) personal assistance (real customer representative, e.g. financial services) Self-service ( help yourself model, includes everything needed for customers to help each other) Automated services (customer self-service model combined with automated processes; simulate personal relationships) User (online) communities enabling users to help each other and company to better understand its customers Value co-creation inviting customers to create value to other customers (and thus also to the vendor); blurs the traditional customer-vendor relationship, e.g. Amazon.com / Taobao Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

80 5. Revenue Streams ( Arteries of a business model ) For what value are customers ready to pay? What are preferred ways for customers to pay, how they pay currently? What is the overall revenue structure and how much each stream contributes to it? Ways to generate Revenue Streams: Asset sale (selling ownership rights) Usage fee (generated by the use of a service) Subscription fee (selling continuous access to a service) Lending, Renting and Leasing (temporal exclusive right to use a particular asset for a fixed period of time) Licensing (granting customers right to use protected IPR in exchange for licensing fee, e.g. right to use patented technology against the license fee; media industry, patent) Brokerage fee (derives from intermediation services performed on behalf of the other parties, e.g. credit card companies earning revenues from each sales transaction) Advertising fees (from advertising an offering or a brand) Different pricing mechanisms: Fixed Pricing List price Product feature dependent Customer segment dependent Volume dependent Dynamic Pricing Auctions (price based on competitive bidding; ebay/alibaba) Negotiation (price based on power/skills); Based on supply and demand ( real-timemarket price) Time and capacity dependent pricing (hotels, Stockholm-Helsinki ferries) Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

81 Business Model The 2 nd part The efficiency part Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

82 6. Key Resources ( most important assets required to make a business model to work ) What Key Resources are needed to provide the Value Propositions? How about Distribution Channels, Customer Relationships and Revenue Streams? Different categories: Physical assets e.g. buildings, manufacturing facilities, machines, POS and other systems, distribution networks, etc. Intellectual resources e.g. brands, patents, copyrights, knowledge skills, customer DBs, trademark, etc. (Nike, Sony, Microsoft, Qualcom) Human resources are needed by all firms, but extremely important in knowledge intensive and creative industries (e.g. pharma, biotech, nanotech, software/ict, ) Financial assets and guarantees such as cash, credit, stock option pool and company valuation Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

83 7. Key Activities ( Most important actions a company must do to make its business model to work ) What Key Activities are needed to fulfill the value proposition(s)? How about Distribution channels, Customer Relationships and Revenue Streams? Different categories: Production (needed to design, make and deliver a product meeting the required volumes or quality) Problem solving (coming up with new solutions to individual customer problems, e.g. service orgs) Platform/Network (for BMs designed with a platform as a key resource, e.g. ebay s web maintenance or guaranteeing Microsoft Windows compatibility with 3 rd parties complementary software, etc.) Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

84 8. Key Partnerships ( Network making the business model work ) Who are the Key Partners for our business? Which Key Resources we need to acquire via partners? Which Key Activities do partners perform? Drivers to create partnerships: Optimization and economy of scale to optimize the allocation of resources and activities avoiding the direct ownership of them (e.g. outsourcing and sharing infrastructure). Reducing risk and uncertainty e.g. competitors forming a strategic alliance in one market segment and competing in other segment (e.g. Blue-ray format) Acquisition of resources and activities to extend own resources by relying on other firms in order to acquire knowledge, licenses or access to customers (e.g. Nokia-Microsoft) Different types of partnerships: Strategic alliances between noncompetitors Strategic partnerships between competitors Coopetition model Joint ventures to build and develop new businesses Buyer-supplier relationships to assure reliable supplies Source: Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur, 2010

85 9. Cost Structure ( What does it cost to operate the business model ) What are the most important costs? Which Key Resources and Key Activities are most expensive? What is the overall cost structure? Different types of cost structures: Fixed costs remain the same despite of the volume of produced goods and services (e.g. salaries, rents, industrial investments) Variable costs vary with the volume of the offerings produced, e.g. services provided for masses of people Economies of scale are cost advantages achieved by businesses as their volume of output rises and average cost per unit falls. Economies of scope cost advantage a business gets due to the larger scope of operations, e.g. using the same distribution channels for multiple products. The classification of cost structures: A. Cost Driven business models aims at creating the lowest possible cost structure (with e.g. automation and outsourcing) B. Value-driven business models concentrate on value creation resulting in higher costs, e.g. fashion and jewellery business, luxury-level service offerings.
