Abstract

In this paper, the bibliometric method is used to sort out and analyze the development of business model study by statistical analysis and citation networks. Empirical results show the latest hot topics in the business model study focus on business model diagnosis, innovation and design. Three future trends are proposed including the quantification of theoretical research, the extension of the research range and the informatization of market research. The perspective and conclusion of business model in this paper will be particularly illuminating for both academic research and enterprises' practice application.
