Business models continue to grow in complexity and the level of integrative processes that are knowledge and intelligence-based. From the relatively simple production-based business models of the 1900s and early 20th century to the highly orchestrated, knowledge-based business models of Toyota to support their global production and supply chain system (Dyer, Nobeoka, 2000) or Google with its world-class advertising business model (Pynnönen, Hallikas, Ritala, 2012), information and intelligence have replaced manufacturing power.

Following the historical analysis will be a comparative table illustrating the similarities and differences of each dominant type of business model.
