Background:
This
is the first assignment from BI5691 - The Networked Organization course (Msc
Business Information Systems 2011, Royal Holloway University of London). The
aim of this post is to build an E-business model for a company, which is mainly
focus on the Buy/sell sides map. Ultimately, I consider to use the “LoveFilm”
as a sample to share my understanding of the e-business (www.lovefilm.com)
adopted by this company. LOVEFiLM is the UKs largest supplier of rental DVDs,
Blu-Ray, Games and movies online, with over 70,000+ titles available. We also
offer films to stream on PS3 and Internet enable TVs
A supply-side / sell-side map:
The revenue model:
Basically, the revenue model with Lovefilm is that customers
have to register firstly and it will charge from their personal account
monthly. Members can choose view film or TV shows online or to get physical
DVDs by post.
Lovefilm is mainly focus on the clients who has the great
interest to film, game, or TV programs.
LOVEFiLM
support the benefits:
*
Britain's largest range of films and games - 70,000 titles and counting
*
FREE first class post for DVD, Blue-ray & Games rental
*
Thousands of films to watch instantly to your PC, Smart TV, PS3™, iPad and now Xbox 360 at
no extra cost
*
No long-term contracts - cancel anytime
The
risks may be encountered:
1.In
the case, some customers have their own memberships on other exist film-viewing
websites, so they may not want to change another website and register again in
order to view films on the Lovefilm.
2.
Some CD/DVDs may generate the damages during the delivery, and some DVDs should
be re-newed in the real time that cause more costs.
