Business Model Archetype Classification

University of St. Gallen — 55 Business Model Navigator (Gassmann et al.)

SG-036 Product to Capability WHAT High
Direct: revenue_model_type=~25-30% recurring (managed services, warranties, software subscriptions); ~70-75% transactional (hardware/software product sales); recurring mix growing ~2-3% annually. Corroborated: business_model_type_primary=Cloud infrastructure termination would moderately disrupt internal ops but not revenue delivery; CDW is a reseller/integrator, not a cloud-native SaaS company
