Brilliant Business Models in Healthcare

Abstract

The truly brilliant business models do not arise accidently but are almost always based on a deep ambition to make a difference and to capture a unique new spot in the world. They are driven by the “why.” The cornerstones of a brilliant business model are the vision and the brand positioning.
