What I wonder about a business model?

For this assignment I read about the business models and I had some questions because some ideas didn't properly fit to my head and didn't make sense. Below you can see which concepts confused me. 


What I ponder about a business model:

 1. Do all business organizations have this particular model? Or are there any other models that could convey a business company?

- This question aroused in my mind because I wonder if there is a specific system or pattern for every organization and do they stick with it. 

2.  How and why the output of a business organization is being presented to the customer?

-  This question aroused in my mind because I couldn’t understand the logic of presenting the output ( the money ) and it didn’t make sense.

3.  Why is the business model divided in to four groups as; infrastructure, offer, customer and finance? What does infrastructure mean?

- I haven’t seen the term infrastructure before and the concept of dividing these to four groups took my attention and made me wonder.

Is this a useful model?

Osterwalder template might be useful because everything is linked to each other properly and perfectly. The model could only be functional if every part works superbly because it is a cycle and one affects the other. In order to be successful by depending on a system/model like this every section must work hard and they must be in cooperation.

Can this appeal  for a non business institution?

I don’t think that this template can be applied to non-business organizations because this model is mainly about gaining money, having a high profit. Non-business organizations do not have a profit, their primary goal is providing service so that is why it would be hard to include this model to their process. Lots of the terms in the diagram does not relate to non- business institutions like value configuration and cost structure. In my opinion this model wouldn’t be useful to non-business organizations.
