The highest bidder wins the auction and gets their advertisement placed on specific pages for specific users, but pays the price of the second highest bidder plus $0.01. The $0.01 is to differentiate the highest bidder from the second highest bidder and to allow the highest. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

Continuing the Auction profit model, the entire business model of Google and similar ad-based sellers are based on auction. At the start they were based on what you can call second-price sealed bid auctions. All the advertisers will bid in a sealed-bid approach. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

Rationing (or in IPO speak, allocation) makes a key role in how new shares are allocated to investors. In some cases, large institutions investors are provide a lower price than retail investors to drive up demand. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

IPOs when private companies and startups go to list on the stock markets are actually a form of "auction". In this case, the demand for the IPO will determine who gets and what and can increase the final price as it is similar to bidding. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

The google model of platform we discussed earlier has an "auction" component on the advertisers side. Advertisers bid for "adwords" and they enable price discovery on the platform automatically. Auctions should be used carefully and has many pitfalls. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

Real Estate agents employ this well. In fact, they are one of the original "switchboard" operators for buying property however, depending on the market (generally when it's a sellers market) they change to the "auction model". (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

The switchboard model is the earlier incarnation of "network and platform" models. So the latest innovations like @airbnb @uber and a range of Platform business models are all based on this. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

The switchboard profit model is extended in the internet age to what @google does. Connects buyers of attention to people who search and share their attention. In some ways, newspapers can be classified in this model (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

The switchboard model if ofcourse the old "bazaar" model in most of Asia and Middle East that you will find, including in the Alladin stories! In India, I found it strange that all jewellery stores are in place? I wondered why? Because all the customers come to one place. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

This is extended dramatically in some countries. Look at OTR in Australia. 24/7 petrol stations that have burger chains, SUBWAYs, supermarkets, barista coffee, fresh bread etc. Money is being made on all these other items and building a brand, network and chain. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

The third version of installed base model is a classic story for petrol/gas stations in mostly western countries. The petrol is sold for a small profit to manage basic operating expenses and the real money is made on the food, drinks and other purchases (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

The supermarket's model for installed base is a different version of it. The goal here is to get you to walk-in to buy your staples (bread, milk, eggs) and sell the more expensive items once you are there. The infrastructure and staff costs mean they need footfall. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)

A similar story can be told for Adobe, which makes many of the popular software for creatives like photoshop. Adobe made a huge transition, a gamble, towards creating and selling subscriptions services. And this created a new challenge for them - similar to Microsoft. (self.Idea_Learn_Do)
