Marketplace Business Model vs. Aggregator Business Model

Marketplace Business Model vs. Aggregator Business Model June 14, 2022,   by  S id Saurav The marketplace business model and aggregator business model, though very similar, have noticeable differences. But before talking about those differences, let us first talk about what these models are. An online marketplace is basically an eCommerce website or an application that organizes the products and services offered by different sellers and sells them on its own website. The firm only acts as a mediator and doesn’t own the products or services provided. Hence, the prices are determined by the sellers themselves.

What is a Disruptive Business Model?

  What Is a Disruptive Business Model? June 14, 2022,   by  S id Saurav You have an idea, an innovation that you know is fully formed, sure to be a hit and welcomed by the market. But how disruptive is your business model? Intrigued why I asked this question? Uber and Netflix are two apps that are on every phone right now. Nights are not complete without Netflix displaying “Are you still watching ” and you won’t see people waving hands at taxis like a character from some 90s rom-com anymore. Uber made it possible with just a few taps on the phone screens. They both came with their respective disruptive business models and became part of the lifestyle of a big section of society. We don’t book a cab anymore — we book an Uber. Netflix has already won over the traditional cable TV and now is strategizing to compete with your sleep.
