Allows for studying the "Complete Strategy Landscape" as the value to be captured from a strategy declines and must be replaced by a business model that creates more value.

  Choosing the Right Esports Business Model

  David Collis and Alexander MacKay

  Two esports entrepreneurs must choose on which business model to focus their time and money. After successfully launching an online esports coaching platform, a number of new opportunities emerge in the rapidly growing esports space that now has close to one billion gamers and an online audience that is greater than the Superbowl. Should they focus on a B2C business, a B2B business? Develop an analytics capability to support "sabremetrics" for esports or a content creation capability? How can they best exploit ownership of the world's top team in the "Hearthstone" league. The choice will depend on the future industry structure and how the two can most effectively "follow the money."
