Business model patterns are reusable business model architectural components, which can be used in generating a new business model.[1] In the process of new business model generation, the business model innovator can use one or more of these patterns to creating a new business model. Each of these patterns has similarities in characteristics, business model building blocks arrangements and behaviors. Alexander Osterwalder call these similarities the “business model pattern”.[2][3][4]
