business concept


Explanation:
A "business concept" can be anything from the vague blabla of a mission statement (e.g. "We aim to redefine the boundaries of our industry") to the firmly formulated designs of a retail concept ("We will sell cheese sandwiches in yellow boxes"). Obviously, the invented examples given are extremes, but they have a certain demonstrative value. More often, a "business concept" will be somewhere between these two poles.

IMO a "business formula" is something distinct from a "business concept" and is not the same as the Dutch "bedrijfsformule". In English, "formula" (in this context) has a non-definable, magical quality and would more likely be found in the title of books by "leading" business gurus (ahem) that tell you how to make a success (add salt to taste) of your business ideas. See 'The e-Business Formula for Success', thebusinessformula.com, etc., etc.

Real-life examples of "business concept":
-> "Our business concept is to transform scientific knowledge into professional tools for organizations and companies."
http://www.karolinskaeducation.ki.se/about/our_idea_en.html

-> "Business Concept
To offer consumers alcoholic beverages of the right quality through strong and attractive brands."

To put it another way: if you want a loan from your bank, you present your account manager with a \"business concept\". When you\'ve retired at age 38, you write a book on your secret \"business formula\" of success ....
