A business model is essential because it conceptualizes the approach a business intends to take to pursue value creation and profit generation. Business models can be disruptive by moving away from conventional methods and creating a niche that addresses unique consumer needs that other providers do not satisfy adequately (Schiavi & Behr, 2018). Airbnb is an excellent example of a disruptive model that has shaped the hospitality industry significantly. They provide the home experience at a cheaper rate than hotels and provide a higher guarantee of privacy and comfort. The second example is Amazon, whose forays into the retail industry are well-known. Its business model as an online retailer disrupted the entire industry that physical retailers previously dominated.
