What are the 5 business case models?

The five business case models are typically strategic models used by organisations to evaluate and manage opportunities or projects. These models include business model canvas, value chain model, SWOT analysis, balanced scorecard, and PEST analysis. Business model canvas outlines the structure and finances of a business.

The value chain model looks at a company's actions to deliver value. SWOT analysis assesses strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. A balanced scorecard evaluates performance metrics.

PEST analysis examines political, economic, social, and technological factors. These models help in understanding different facets of business operations and decision-making processes.
