SkySports Site Survey

Visit SkySports http://www.skysports.com/

The site survey findings:

Part 1:

Business Model:

This business can be considered as a Fee Based business model. Sky Sports 1, 2, 3, and 4 are available as a premium package on top of the basic Sky package. So in order to have such service you need to have a subscription with the main company Sky. 

Business Model Entities:

E-business deployed and the type of transactions:

Sky sports website mainly have the customer request and subscriptions for the sport channels packages and this can be consider as the main e-business activity. The main type of transaction is the B2C which involves the sky sports packages offered from the site to the customer. Also if we’re talking about companies interested in having sky sports package it can be considered as a B2B transaction.

Part 2:

The Marketspaces:

It is a marketplace in which sellers and buyers exchange goods and services for money (or for other goods and services).

So skysports marketspace can be considered as the market in which all tv sport channels companies are playing.

Components:

Customers: Sport fans.

Sellers: Skysports.

Products and services: TV packages for sport channels. Also the free sport news in addition to the help and support.

The e-marketplaces:

Commonly known as electronic marketplace, an e-marketplace is a virtual market where Buyers and sellers meet just like in a traditional market. It can be b2b, b2c, c2c, …etc.

Here our e-marketplace is considered to be both B2B and B2C. Since skysports is providing its services to customers directly without any intermediary and via subscriptions it can be considered as b2c. Also and since many other companies are interested in their packages and offers it can be considered as b2b relationship. 

I think both e-marketplaces fit our case here. They can target both companies and organizations in addition to individual customers.

Part 3:

From my point of view I think this site doesn’t need the blog service. It has a large number of customers and subscribers who are members in their forums and they can review comments and all uploaded news and events. So no need for the blog service.
