Introduction For telemonitoring to support care coordination, a sound business model is conditional. The aim of this study is to explore the systemic and economic differences in care coordination via business-to-business and business-to-consumer models for telemonitoring patients with chronic diseases. Methods We performed a literature search in order to design the business-to-business and business-to-consumer telemonitoring models, and to assess the design elements and themes by applying the activity system theory, and describe the transaction costs in each model. The design elements are content, structure, and governance, while the design themes are novelty, lock-in, complementarities, and efficiency. In the transaction cost analysis, we looked into all the elements of a transaction in both models. Results Care coordination in the business-to-business model is designed to be organized between the places of activity, rather than the participants in the activity. The design of the business-to-business model creates a firm lock-in but for a limited time. In the business-to-consumer model, the interdependencies are to be found between the persons in the care process and not between the places of care. The differences between the models were found in both the design elements and the design themes. Discussion Care coordination in the business-to-business and business-to-consumer models for telemonitoring chronic diseases differs in principle in terms of design elements and design themes. Based on the theoretical models, the transaction costs could potentially be lower in the business-to-consumer model than in the business-to-business, which could be a promoting economic principle for the implementation of telemonitoring.

Purpose The purpose of this research is to identify how managers can apply the results of academic research into the concept of business models for creating and evaluating possible models for their businesses. Design/methodology/approach A review of the literature is followed by two case studies, from the airline and logistics industries, followed by recommendations based on both. Findings The findings are that there is relatively weak consensus among academics as to the definition and meaning of a business model and its components, and that the notion of generic business model applies better within rather than between industries, but that the discussion is a very fertile one for developing recommendations for managers. Practical implications The managerial implications of the study are that in their planning and strategizing, managers should factor in a proper analysis of the business model they currently use and one that they could use. Originality/value The study provides a useful addition to the literature on the practical implications of business models.

This research uses qualitative research with an exploratory study. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 13 owners of Yogyakarta’s local culinary. The results showed that co-branding was carried out jointly with GoFoodPartner, but if it was not incorporated into GoFoodPartner co-branding was carried out directly between GoFood and the culinary business management. As for GrabFood, co-branding is done partially to businesses that are not part of their official cooperation partners. The culinary tourism business model has been changing by online food delivery service providers. The change is they have not only done business to consumer (B2C) but then also develop its business model into Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Business to Consumer (B2B2C). It changes the business model of culinary tourism developed into a food tourism business model.   Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang implementasi co-branding oleh layanan food delivery tersebut dan pengaruhnya pada model bisnis wisata kuliner lokal khas Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan metode eksploratory. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan 13 pelaku usaha wisata kuliner lokal khas Yogyakarta didukung observasi serta dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa co-branding dilakukan secara bersama-sama antara GoFood dan pelaku usaha wisata kuliner yang tergabung dalam GoFoodPartner, akan tetapi jika tidak tergabung dengan GoFoodPartner co-branding dilakukan secara terpisah antara GoFood dan pelaku usaha wisata kuliner. Sementara untuk GrabFood juga demikian, co-branding dilakukan secara partial untuk pelaku usaha wisata yang bukan masuk dalam mitra kerjasamanya. Model bisnis wisata kuliner yang dilakukan terdapat perubahan dengan adanya layanan online food delivery. Perubahan tersebut terdapat pada tidak hanya business to consumer (B2C), akan tetapi model bisnisnya berkembang juga menjadi Business to Business (B2B) dan Business to Business to Consumer (B2B2C). Perubahan model bisnis tersebut mendorong perkembangan model bisnis culinary tourism menjadi model bisnis food tourism.

Chronic diseases represent one of the main causes of death worldwide. The integration of digital solutions in clinical interventions is broadly diffused today; however, evidence on their efficacy in addressing psychological comorbidities of chronic diseases is sparse. This systematic review analyzes and synthesizes the evidence about the efficacy of digital interventions on psychological comorbidities outcomes of specific chronic diseases. According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic search of PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted. Only Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) were considered and either depression or anxiety had to be assessed to match the selection criteria. Of the 7636 identified records, 17 matched the inclusion criteria: 9 digital interventions on diabetes, 4 on cardiovascular diseases, 3 on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and one on stroke. Of the 17 studies reviewed, 14 found digital interventions to be effective. Quantitative synthesis highlighted a moderate and significant overall effect of interventions on depression, while the effect on anxiety was small and non-significant. Design elements making digital interventions effective for psychological comorbidities of chronic diseases were singled out: (a) implementing a communication loop with patients and (b) providing disease-specific digital contents. This focus on “how” to design technologies can facilitate the translation of evidence into practice.

The trend being taken by businesses and consumers has increased the participation of the companies which apply it in a comprehensive manner, since they reach international markets, while also face another kind of competition that takes place in a global market. We conclude that electronic commerce will remain a tool of great importance to efficiently manage the chains of supply between businesses and consumers through the Internet which allows an integration to reduce costs of ordering, distribution, administration and delivery of input materials.

Abstract: The achievement of Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a new ground for economic competition is deeply affecting the trade organization in many merchant sectors. For Italian agri-food products it is of absolute importance for Internet marketing to be undertaken and to foresee the consequent scenarios. The aim of this research is to exactly assess the opportunities and problems of the distribution circuit based on the virtual scenario, with a methodological and empirical approach, working on the analysis of experiences already begun by agri-food companies established in Italy and engaged in “business to consumer” and “business to business”. The ICT is configured as a phenomenon in a continuous and rapid evolution, which makes it necessary for companies to continually adapt to it and to the habits of web-consumers. This means that it is necessary to effectively enter the network of agri-food firms, and to strategically revise marketing methods focusing on the market place.


Digital marketing is intensifying in India with rapid velocity. Many Indian insurers are now migrating from conventional marketing to digital marketing for competing with one another. Digital marketing refers to the advertising strategy through digital channels such as search engines (google, bing, yahoo), social media (facebook), email, SMS and mobile apps. Digital marketing can also be referred as the use of ICT that provide access to information through telecommunications. This includes the world wide web, wired and wireless networks, mobile phones and other communication mediumsDigital marketing includes both Business to Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B) services For businesses, digital marketing helps in cost savings, increase opportunities and promote conveniences. The choices are more for the customers in how they compare, pay, interact and avail various services.It is always a challenge for the insures in marketing their products as it involves speaking with uncertainties which many people refuses to discuss. When the insures opt for digital marketing, through interactive and customized online tools, enable the prospective customers to primarily identify their risk and decide either they can retain or transfer their risk. Also the prospective customers can calculate the consideration called premium to be paid by them. Through the digital platform, the insurers can concentrate on service excellence.

The employer branding (EB) phenomenon has garnered the attention of practitioners and academicians over the past decade. However, the subjective experiences of managers on EB are hardly tapped. This study explores company executives’ views on EB through the case study method with semi-structured interviews in the context of the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) companies located in India. Four key categories relevant to EB emerged from the data. These are (a) essence of a successful EB, (b) precursors of EB, (c) visibility of the employer and (d) outcomes of EB. Attributes of these categories were explored along the sub-themes, which reveal the respondents’ perceptions regarding their implementation of EB strategy. These attributes were similar in B2B and B2C companies.
