Business Models

Telenor intends to be on the cutting edge of understanding which sustainable models can exploit the potential in technological development - always keeping ahead of the market. This R&I research unit keeps abreast of challenges to Telenor's international value creation, both as an established actor and as a challenger in mature and emerging markets.

Through strategic competitive activities the research unit Business models analyse the intersection between the market and regulatory boundaries. The unit helps to position Telenor by preparing analyses and scenarios concerning new actors, relations between actors and central development trends in the industry. An important part of this is identifying the most important disruptive development trends that may impact Telenor and its surroundings. New business concepts and opportunities are analysed by developing and using quantitative strategic tools. The unit consists of three competence groups.

Markets and regulations
The competence group Markets and regulations works works with different issues related to regulation, competition strategy, demand analysis and business models that handle consequences of the development within technology, market and regulations. This work deals with both existing and future products and services, and how the situation can evolve for a telecom operator on a longer term.

Business assessment
The competence group Business assessment develops techno-economic methods, analyses business models for new concepts and technologies, as well as performing business case analysis. The group contributes with business competence in a number of national and international projects, related to both fixed and mobile operations.

Disruptive changes
The competence group Disruptive changes analyses the possibilities and challenges that new technology and new concepts represent, through examining disruptive technologies and business models that may provide interesting options for Telenor in the long term. The group points out strategic options that Telenor will face, examines possible threats and develops constructive strategic recommendations as well as practical demonstrations of Telenor's options.
