description The traditional business model frameworks and concepts have been mainly used in the field of Information System (IS) and e-commerce for explanatory and descriptive purposes. I believe that there is a potential for the business model concept to be expanded for use by general businesses in strategic management. In this report, I will outline a conceptual framework for building a visual mapping of a business model.

The model will be illustrated by a case study of a firm offering Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) middleware solutions for the online games industry.
