Ask HN: IS there a site about business models?

Are there any site that are about business models of various businesses (not only tech/web ones)? That would be very interesting and useful for entrepreneurs-in-progress like me.

    I would be very interested on analyzing the business model of Amazon, Google, or even newer sites like Groupon.

    This can be a beast, but Porter's work on 5 forces is really illuminating. If you do the hard work, you'll have a really good understanding of where your business fits in the larger context.

    "business model generation" is a really good book on the subject: http://www.businessmodelgeneration.com/

    Innovation and Entrepreneurship by Peter Drucker is a timeless book that I would suggest reading.
