9 Cost Structure

The Cost Structure describes all costs incurred to
operate a business model
This building block describes the most important costs incurred
while operating under a particular business model. Creating and de-
livering value, maintaining Customer Relationships, and generating
revenue all incur costs. Such costs can be calculated relatively easily
after defi ning Key Resources, Key Activities, and Key Partnerships.
Some business models, though, are more cost-driven than others.
So-called “no frills” airlines, for instance, have built business models
entirely around low Cost Structures.
