| Description |
Collectively, “cloud services” are the hottest sector of the global information and telecommunications industry and are also the key government-sponsored industry in Taiwan. Because of differences in the characteristics of various cloud services with regard to resource allocation, not every type of cloud service is profitable. Hence, for potential cloud services providers, it is important to select the right types of cloud services to offer to customers and the appropriate business models to implement in order to achieve profit targets. This study adopts Gary Hamel’s business model as its research framework, conducts a feasibility analysis through in-depth interviews with experts, and then derives the individual weighting of each dimension from the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) based on an expert questionnaire survey. The results show that strategic resources are the most critical factor of the business model and that core strategy and value network rank second and third, respectively, with customer interface as the least important. This study explores the business model strategy of cloud services providers at the corporate level, and how they can create competitive advantages by exerting their core competencies. Firms in Taiwan can use the study results as a reference to enhance their business competitiveness.
