Business model innovation drivers as antecedents of performance

Abstract

Purpose The innovation of business model (BM) is a strategic process for many firms, from which depends competitiveness and sustainability. Despite its theoretical relevance in management sciences, research on business model innovation is in its infancy and lacks of research consistency and theoretical connections to the theme of “performance”. With the aim to contribute in bridging this gap, this paper aims to identify and analyse drivers of business model innovation performance. Design/methodology/approach This research is based on an integrative literature review methodology. Findings BMI performance drivers are conditions related to various dimensions (i.e. processes, resources, market, BM structure, etc). that, when fulfilled, allow the BMI to have higher performance. BMI performance drivers are antecedents of BMI performance, and their identification is of both theoretical and practical value. The authors find and report a set of 35 BMI performance drivers. Originality/value The value of this research is both theoretical and practical. From a theoretical point of view, the identified “Business Model Innovation performance drivers” define and identify a variable of BMI performance, from a practical perspective, and they provide a comprehensive set of key conditions whose attainment should be planned, pursued and monitored by managers.

Influências da inovação do modelo de negócios na orientação empreendedora e no desempenho organizacional: evidências nos supermercados catarinenses

“…Despite its theoretical relevance in the administrative sciences, the research about business model innovation is at its beginning and lacks consistency of research and theoretical connections with the theme organizational performance (Ammirato, Roberto, & Alberto, 2022).

Driving Fractions of Business Model Innovation (BMI) among the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME)

“…They are the conditions that, enable the firm to perform better in BMI for a variety of firm's elements (processes, resources, market, business model, etc.). It is proposed that factors influencing BMI performance act as its precursors (Ammirato et al, 2021). When comparing one's position to an expected value that is desired and causally linked to increased performance, the driver is a crucial variable to take into account; as an antecedent of improved performance, the driver is therefore theoretically significant for processes (Ammirato et al, 2021).…”

Developing a strategic planning model for developing, monitoring and evaluating digital transformation initiatives: a soft system approach

“…Moreover, the business model perspective gauges shift in value creation dynamics. It is well known that digital transformation enables business model innovation, and successful digital transformation projects have a long-term effect on various aspects of the business and the company’s overall concept and utilization (Ammirato et al , 2021). Specifically, to assess the impact of digital transformation on the organization’s business model, three main dimensions are suggested to consider and evaluate: value creation, value proposition and value capture (Linzalone and Schiuma, 2015).…”
