Business development

1 'Business development' comprises a number of tasks and processes generally aiming at

developing and implementing growth opportunities between multiple organizations. It is a subset of the fields of business, commerce,

and organizational theory. Business development is the creation of long-term value for an organization from customers, markets,

and relationships.http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottp

ollack/2012/03/21/what-exactly-is-business-development/


Business development - Overview

1 In this perspective, business development refers to:



1 the tasks and processes concerning analytical preparation of potential growth opportunities, the support

and monitoring of the implementation of growth

opportunities, but does not include decisions on strategy and implementation of growth

opportunities (Sørensen, 2012, p.26).Sørensen, Hans Eibe (2012). Business Development: a market-oriented perspective. John Wiley Sons.Business Development in D.

Teece and M. Augier (Eds.) Palgrave Encyclopedia of Strategic

Management (forthcoming)



1 These tasks and processes are performed by

Business_development#The Business Developer|business developers.

Given the nature of business development activities, the business

development function is typically organized as a staff function.


Business development - Background

1 Business development had its origins in the Industrial Revolution


Business development - Professionals

1 The business developers' tools to address the business development

tasks are the business model answering how do we make money

and its analytical backup and roadmap for implementation, the

business plan.



1 Business development professionals frequently have had earlier

experience in financial services, investment banking or management consulting; although many find their

route to this area by climbing the corporate ladder in functions such as

operations management or sales. Skill sets and experience for

business-development specialists usually consist of a mixture of the

following (depending on the business requirements):



1 * Mergers and acquisitions



1 Sometimes business development specialists manage and analyze the data to produce sales Management information system|management

information (MI)



1 * progress of opportunities in relation

to the sales process



1 * sales of services/products



1 For larger and well-established companies, especially in technology-related industries, the term business development often refers to setting

up and managing strategic relationships and strategic alliance|

alliances with other, third-party companies


Chief business development officer

1 A 'chief business development officer' ('CBDO') is a function within

a company (law)|company established beside the other executive functions like Chief executive officer|CEO or Chief

operating officer|COO.



1 The title is used to define a high ranking position alongside the CEO.

The CBDO is expected to have a broad and comprehensive knowledge of all matters related to the business

of the organization with an eye towards identifying new sales

prospects and driving business growth and requirements for product development that will be coordinated

with RD functions.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-business-development-toolkit.html

Business Development Company

1 A Business Development Company (BDC) is a form of publicly registered company in the United States that

invests in small and mid-sized businesses. This form of company

was created by Congress in 1980 as amendments to the Investment

Company Act of 1940. Publicly filing firms may elect regulation as BDCs if

they meet certain requirements of the Investment Company Act.


Business Development Company - Regulation and tax structure

1 Election means the BDC must subject itself to all relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act, which (a) limits how much debt a BDC may incur, (b) prohibits most affiliated

transactions, (c) requires a code of ethics and a comprehensive compliance program, and (d)

requires regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and subject to regular examination, like

all mutual funds and closed-end funds



1 BDCs are usually taxed as regulated investment companies (RIC) under the

Internal Revenue Code



1 Because income is not taxed at the corporate level, distributions to

investors are generally taxable for investors based on the type of income earned by the BDC. For

example, ordinary income to the BDC is taxable for investors at ordinary income rates, while capital gains income to the BDC is generally

taxable for investors at capital gains rates.



1 Historically, BDCs are listed on a national stock exchange like the NYSE or NASDAQ. Recently, as is

common for REITs, some BDCs have declined listing on an exchange.

Unlisted BDCs are required to follow the same regulatory structure as

listed BDCs.


Business Development Company - Uniqueness of BDCs

1 BDCs are similar to venture capital (VC) or private equity (PE) funds

since they provide investors with a way to invest in small companies and

participate in the sale of those investments


Business Development Company - Larger BDCs

1 Among the largest BDCs by market value, are (in

alphabetical order):

grants. Typically, SBDCs are co-located at community colleges, state

universities, and/or other entrepreneurial hubs.


Small Business Investment Act of 1958 - 8(a) Business Development Program

1 The 8(a) Business Development Program assists in the development

of small businesses owned and operated by individuals who are

socially and economically disadvantaged, such as women and

minorities


Publicly traded private equity - Business Development Companies

1 Historically, in the United States, there had been a group of publicly

traded private equity firms that were registered as business development

companies (BDCs) under the Investment Company Act of

1940.Companies must elect to be treated as a business development

company under the terms of the Investment Company Act of 1940

([http://www.law.uc.edu/CCL/InvCoAct/sec54.html Investment Company Act of 1940: Section 54 -- Election to Be Regulated as Business Development

Company])



1 Typically, BDCs are structured similar to real estate investment trusts (REITs) in that the BDC structure reduces or eliminates corporate income tax. In return, REITs are

required to Distribution (economics)|distribute 95% of their income, which

may be taxable to its investors.



1 As of the end of 2008, among the largest BDCs (by market value,

excluding Apollo Global Management|Apollo Investment Corp, discussed elsewhere) are:

American Capital Strategies (), Ares Capital Corp. (), BlackRock Kelso

Capital Corp, Gladstone Investment Corp () and Kohlberg Company|

Kohlberg Capital Corp ().https://store.theartofservice.com/the-business-development-toolkit.html

Private sector development - Business development services

countries where the argument advanced is that the market for business development fails and

therefore the government should enable this market Mole, K


Mobile business development

1 This incorporates designing several models: the Value network, a Value proposition, a Revenue model and a

Mobile business development#Technological architecture|Technological

architecture.


Mobile business development - Economic value

1 Together contributors need to create a business model that forms the

blueprint of the cooperating network of organisations intends to create

economic value from technological innovation. Therefore, it is useful to define the different relevant issues:

Customer Value of services, Organizational arrangements,

Technological architecture, and possible financial arrangements.



1 # An architecture for the product, service and information flows,

including a description of the various business actors and their roles.



1 # A description of the potential benefits for the various business actors.


Mobile business development - Collaboration engineering

1 To facilitate the collaboration between the contributors, the

methods can be used to act as a guideline for successful innovation during the pre-product phase. Most

methods are based on the innovation prototyping method (3), which

emphasizes on the balance between different viewpoints.


Mobile business development - Organizational arrangements

1 The relative large amount of contributing organisations in

innovative ICT services has been the cause of important changes that took

place in the value chain of these services.



1 Traditionally, one company would perform all necessary activities that make the service work. Nowadays,

this is often divided between specialized contributors. This invokes the creation of and ad hoc value net, which replaces the more traditional value chain. In this value web there

is less hierarchy and it is more adaptable to changes in roles or contributors. There are also no restrictions on the flow of data

between the value net, instead it can flow in all directions all the time.



1 The following definition of a value net can be found in the book “Value

Nets: Breaking the Supply Chain to unlock hidden profits”, by David

Bovet and Joseph Martha, John Wiley Sons, Inc, 2000:



1 A value net is a business design that uses digital supply chains to achieve both superior customer satisfaction

and company profitability. It is a fast, flexible system that is aligned with and driven by new customer choice mechanisms. A value net is not what the term supply chain conjures up. It is no longer just about supply, but it

is also about creating value for customers, the company and its

suppliers.



1 The value net differs from the traditional value chain in the sense

that it is not a sequential, rigid chain. Instead, it is a dynamic, high

performance network of customer/supplier partnerships and

information flows.


Mobile business development - Customer value of services

1 The Value Proposition model is used to represent the value of the service from the perspective of the end-user (Customer, Consumer). This model is

often surprisingly complex for the design of mobile ICT services. This is because the characteristics are very different from physical products. The 'SHIP-acronym' can be used to define

four important characteristics of mobile ICT services (3):



1 # 'S'imultaneously produced and consumed. This mean that the end-

user is part of the production of content, and that the producer is also

present during the transaction.



1 # 'H'eterogeneous. This means that there is a (almost) unique instance of the service made for each end-user.



1 # 'I'ntangible. Although the service is intangible, they are often coupled to physical

products.



1 # 'P'erishable. The value of the service disappears after consumption by the end-

user.



1 A value proposition model incorporates the consequences of

these characteristics into the development process. This model

can be in the form of a textual/graphic model, or even a

demonstration version of the proposed service. The composition of

the Value Proposition forces the designers to think about different

important characteristics of mobile ICT services, the FBBM method

addresses the following issues in this context 10:



1 # The proposed target group, e.g., ‘museum visitors’, or ‘travelling business people’.



1 # Added value in comparison of existing services, ‘easier to use’, or ‘gives more

information’.



1 # Estimation of its use, e.g., ‘how often will consumers use it?’, and ‘what does it mean to the user?’.



1 The information about service-characteristics that are gathered in this part of the Method is usually

sketched in use-cases diagrams. This illustrates the part how the proposed services would interact with the end-

user.


Mobile business development - Financial arrangements

1 A Revenue model is used to identify all

cash flows concerning the

servicehttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-business-development-toolkit.html

Mobile business development - Technological architecture

1 The Technological Architecture model is used to give an overview of the

technical functions, and infrastructure needed to provide the

service. For example, the way information is stored, or content is generated and broadcast. Although

will be a high-level view of the technological architecture, it can be passed to technical developers who add more detail at a later stage of the development the ICT service.


Mobile business development - The meta model

1 After exploring possible or desired Customer value of services model,

Organizational arrangements model, financial arrangements Model and

Technological Architecture model, are finalized.



1 This means that they take on their concrete form by actual companies and organizations. This means that the contributing organizations have to fill-in their positions in the value net and decide and negotiate the

various design choices for the models.



1 A good mobile business development method should have a metadata model can be similar to the meta

models below.



1 The outcome, in the form of a business model can be used to communicate an innovative ICT

project outline to investors/participants


Mobile business development - Situational method engineering

1 Methods can be designed with the use of Situational method

engineering. Situational method engineering can be described as the creation of an ad hoc method from

fragments (method fragments) from known methods. This enables the

creation of development methods to be me suitable for any development

situation.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-business-development-toolkit.html


1 In case of mobile business development, there are methods available for specific parts of the

business model design process and ICT development. Situational method engineering can be used to combine

these methods into one unified method that adopts the

characteristics of mobile ICT services.



1 The method fragments frequently used in mobile

development are (6):



1 #Quality Function Deployment — Quality function deployment (QFD) is

a structured methodology that incorporates mathematical tools

used to identify and quantify customers' requirements and

translates them into key critical parameters. For a complete

description of the QFD method, see this page in Wikipedia.



1 #Brainstorm Techniques — The FBBM method uses some brainstorm

techniques known for a long time in application development. They are

used in development sessions.



1 #Financial Analysis — The methods incorporated in financial analysis are targeted at calculating the prospects

of a firm. By including financial analysis methods in a method,

business can calculate important factors like the consumer-price of their services and their Return on

Investment (ROI) beforehand.


Mobile business development - Shopping mall

1 Shop owners in all large shopping mall have a plan to enrich the

shopping experience in their mall. They want to develop a wireless application to be used on smart phones or on PDAs, which will be

made available for rent at the entrance. The application will have

an informative and an entertainment component. This way, the shop

owners hope that they will create added value for their customers and

improve their competitiveness.



1 Because there are many contributors to the development of the

application (shop owners, (wireless) network provider, hardware

provider), the business model is very complex in this case.



1 The contributors have composed their interpretation of the Value

Proposition, the Value Network, the Revenue model and the

Technological architecture in a first quick scan


Mobile business development - Museum

1 The museum of modern arts has become inspired by other museums to use modern technology to guide its visitors through the museum. It

plans to develop a wireless application that runs on museum owned pda’s that are lent out to

visitors at the entrance. The application uses gps to determine

the position of the visitor and streaming video and audio to take on

the role as museum guide.



1 The museum board has demanded the creation of a solid business

model. The business model will be the basis for future decisions about

the project and to explain the project to the museums donators.



1 The museum has found a partner for it’s project, a wireless Internet provider (WISP) will provide the network and hardware for the

application. The WISP can use the museum for promotional activities in

return.



1 Together they have composed their interpretation of the Value

Proposition, the Value Network, the Revenue model and the

Technological architecture in a first quick scan

Boardman, Ohio - Notable business developments

1 Edward DeBartolo, Sr., a shopping mall developer, began his company in Boardman. Boardman Plaza on U.S. Route 224 (west of Market

Street) was one of the first strip malls in the country. Established in 1950 by DeBartolo, the plaza had three full-service grocery stores within a few hundred feet of each other. Today

one must travel at least to get the same food service. Later, circa 1970,

DeBartolo opened the more contemporary Southern Park Mall,

near the intersection of US 224 and Market Street.



1 The fast food chain Arby's opened its first location in Boardman in 1964. The original Arby's store — with the distinctive round roof architecture — remains open as a bird seed store, with a new Arby's right across the

street on Route 224 near the Southern Park Mall, owned and

operated by the now internationally-known chain.



1 Also around 1950, the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, one of the

great steel makers in the country, opened a modern new suburban headquarters in Boardman (right

across Market Street from the DeBartolo Corporation). Here, a

whole new suburban work environment was started; with a

white shirt dress code, it was antiseptic and wholly removed from

the dirt and grit of the Mahoning Valley farther north.



1 When Youngstown Sheet and Tube closed around 1980, a nice campus

was left for others to develop. Today, the former headquarters is the

center of many medical offices, a Dunkin Donuts and a branch of Youngstown State University.
