Business Model Innovation in Established SMEs: A Configurational Approach

Abstract: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are at the heart of a nation’s wealth creation, employment generation and economic development. To help SMEs stay competitive in a fast-changing environment, researchers have recently emphasized the relevance of business model innovation (BMI). However, BMI and its performance are not linear but rather a complex phenomenon that depends on contingency factors. Based on configurational theory, this study extends the BMI research to SMEs, exploring the management approach… Show more

“…It is crucial in this aspect that such environmental shocks provoke a high level of strategic uncertainty in the functioning of small and medium-sized businesses [26,54,63]. Scholars focus on the advantages of centralized corporate management systems [26,64], since in the context of a health system crisis, the ability of an enterprise to mobilize financial, technological and human resources in the shortest possible time is the most important factor for SMEs' survival-this is an advantage of centralized systems [65]. As noted, the COVID-19 pandemic brings the non-market aspects of corporate strategy to the fore.…”

“…It is worth noting that, as a whole, so far, scholars have considered and described the anti-crisis package to support SMEs in different countries, such as tax holidays [25,48,54,57,58]; moratorium on conducting business audits [58,59]; insurance premium reduction and holidays [58,59]; credit holidays [54,[58][59][60][61][62][63]; moratorium on bankruptcy filings initiated by creditors [58,59]; public funding [54,55,58,59,62,[64][65][66] and so on. As evidenced by the results of research, the studied state support system provides slow but fairly stable life support [59].…”

“…The strategic attributes of SMEs that enable optimal development include (1) the innovation and use of technology for product development, (2) the formation of humanitarian relations that are mutually beneficial, (3) the ability to create job opportunities and absorb labor, (4) flexibility and the ability to adapt to market conditions, and (5) managerial dynamics and entrepreneurial roles. SMEs are at the heart of a nation's wealth creation, job creation, and economic development [41]. SMEs are divided into several categories, namely, (1) livelihood activities-SMEs whose aim is to provide a living, more commonly called the informal sector; (2) micro-enterprises-SMEs that have the character of craftspeople but are not yet entrepreneurial; and (3) small dynamic enterprises-SMEs that have an entrepreneurial spirit and are able to accept subcontracts and export jobs.…”
