    This far too narrow. Business models include the Customers, Supplier and Partners, implicitly if not explicitly. Making the implicit elements of the business model transparent is essential if we are too innovate beyond the boundaries of the product/company - we need the broader perspective in order to see the inefficiencies and opportunities presented by inadequate business models today.
