Skype is a company offering free Voice over IP (VoIP) on the Internet and they are enjoying a phenominal success. Since I’ve intervied them in March this year they grew their number of employees from about 100 to 170. Now that is what I call lightspeed growth.
However, what is of particular interest is how their business model design is different from the one of a traditional telco. With a group of collaborators from the University of Lausanne we tried to identify Skype’s disruptive potential by analyzing its business model and comparing it to a traditional telco. I uploaded that study and the detailed PowerPoint presentation I recently made in Bangkok to my consulting website.
Read the paper on Skype’s disruptive business model design.
Look at the detailed PowerPoint presentation about the business model comparison.
Ended up at this article by reading through others.
But he skype business model paper and presentation is not there.
Just to let you know, that there are broken links here.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
