Block 6 – Core resources (key resources)
Key resources primarily allow you to make a profit, as well as provide an opportunity to inform customers about your offers and ensure relationships with your target audience. The type of use of key resources also depends on the classification of the business model (Figure 1.12).

There are three main motives for creating partnerships: optimization and economies of scale, reduction of risks and uncertainty, acquisition of certain resources and activities. Key partners can be divided into 4 classification groups (Figure 1.14). Partnership is necessary to support the company, its functioning through the attracted infrastructure, optimization, production savings, as well as in the framework of logistics (supplies) and joint activities.
9 Block – Expenses structure
Any business model should be based on minimizing expanses. In this block, it is possible to determine what expenses the company will have for the functioning of its business model. There are two broad classes of expenses structure: the focus on expenses and the focus on value, where most business models lie between these classes. The former always strive to ensure minimized expenses for providing their value, and the latter to ensure the quality of their products. Expenses, in turn, can also be divided into groups (Figure 1.15).
