The business model also depicts the competitive positioning of any organization and provides value to the logistics involved in any business. It is seen that in the modern day business the business model has been changed from time to time. There is no fixed business model to be working for a long period of time for any business to be able to operate in a proper way. Due to the rapid competition and the high involvement of technology there is disruption in the business model to be taken place. Dominos has also changed their business model for the generation of higher revenues and for adding value to the customers towards the greater sustainability of their business.
